If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

We had one here years back, but on a much smaller scale, my friend from AZ the next day brought in a pic of one from down there. Crazy! He was saying today how he missed watching them. 😯
Thanks for the link, I think that would suck. 😆

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Hope your friend wasn't in the thick of the most recent one, Aaron.

Probably the only "downside" you've ever heard about for Arizona, right? 😆 😆 😆 😆

...the dust storm photos were almost biblical...(that's what it reminded me of anyway) 😕
