The yellow dust is coming!!

The director announced on Friday that the yellow dust was scheduled to arrive that evening. We should prepare for it. Expect the children and everyone to be wearing masks (you remember sars masks, right?) Take precautions. Locks your doors. You know.

What is yellow dust? The word is that yellow dust is sand from the Gobi desert in Mongolia that blows over China, South Korea and Japan every spring. How lovely! Some years it's bad and people get sick - eye infections, coughs, etc. Other years you hardly notice it. I don't know what this year's forecast is. Apparently for about a month you get occasional dust storms that last for a few days at a time.

Though it was supposed to arrive on Friday night I don't think I noticed it at all on Saturday when I went into the city. Maybe a few more people were wearing masks than usual (people wear masks when they get sick here), but there was no significant difference. And I got cancelled on because of the dust. Whatever, man.

I still believe it will hit at any given moment. So... I am prepared!!!

Apparently I got this year's stylish baby blue mask-uh. This guy's really taking every precaution with the protective eyewear and ear and head covers. I've got to up my game.


I'll keep you posted on the situation.
