just called me going north on I-10, with windows open and vent fan on high, and he still cannot see his gauges nor his floor mats.

now think about this for a moment...........................

did YOU have 1" of dust on yer dash/yer seats/your floormats this morning for your drive to work enjoyment????????????

this aeropuerto is essentially CLOSED! so much dust that ingesting this crap into your intake is sheer SUICIDE for yer engine and possibly for yerself. i cant even see the mtns around us right now there is still so much dust in the atmosphere. cant see from one end of runway to other end. drive down taxiway here and you may as well be on some crap baja ungraded road that hasnt seen rain in the last hundert(hundred) years!

ROFL! So true.

Our winters are awesome, though. ;)

I did comment to a colleague earlier today: "You know what's great about the summertime in Phoenix? Women wear less clothing. You know what sucks about the summertime in Phoenix? Women wear less clothing."

You have to take the bad with the good.

I have a question for the AZ guys. Have you heard the word Haboob before?

Where did that word come from? We always just called them dust storm. When did they become a Haboob?

when vets started getting back from Iraq & Trashcanistan?

it is an Arabic word

I've been calling it a "haboub" (not "haboob") for many years.

"Here comes the haboub!" rolls off the tongue faster.

Since Lamborghini names its cars after bulls and winds, Will the next model be called the Haboob ? ;-)
