   Suspended particles of dust from the Sahara have once more made huge inroads into Europe through strong winds. The sky is more apocalyptic than my cell phone allows it to capture (grrr unwanted "correction" built in). Later, it will rain fine gritty mud. And desertification progresses while people bitch about their car paint finish getting scratched. I will have to wear an N95 just to step out of the house even with no people around. 😑
