Dust cloud from Africa. I really noticed it when I was at the Texans stadium today. They had the roof open. Even better is I just had my car washed two days ago.

I just call it dirty rain. It happens sometimes. A bunch of dust and dirt get picked up in storms, and rained down.

Right?!?! It took me a few minutes to remember the rain Saturday and then I was like "damn that was some dirty rain"

My first thought was some kind of weird brown pollen. It was caked up.

I got my car washed today and when I pulled it it was 17 cars deep and the place was packed.

I was wondering if my silver F150 was really starting to gather dust since I don't drive it as much anymore. I'll be damned...it was!
