Windy....er um.....Wendie

I am going to change my name to Windy.....but spell it Wendie. I simply cannot drive the long drives without non-stop wind! This time.....I have been doing it while having my first experience of driving with sand storms. I am at the motel room....and the storm is still going on......the wind is coming through my window!

I have found it to be in interesting thing......there is all this sand in the air....you can almost taste it.....kind of looks like when there is fog.......you can see the sand storms.......at least the type I am dealing with. The look like those little dust devils you see.....only much much much bigger.....and they move slowly.

You can see them coming, so there is time to get ready for them to hit.......I learned quickly to make sure not to be near any other cars......they can make you move over several inches to a foot or more! And if they are are wide enough....you can't see anything at all while they pass over.....those are the ones where it is best to pull over to the side and let them go their merry way.

Chalk this up to another thing I have experienced I never thought I would. Ha!

Thank you God for keeping Lori Lou and I safe as we head to see Mr. Awesome!

More education on driving in little sand storms. Get your notebooks out.....there will be a test later. hehe

You can't drive in the after dark. Go figure, right? You can't see them coming so when they hit......oh man! It gets extremely dark!

Thus the reason I am now sitting in a hotel room all safe and sound. :)
