Day 308: Sand Storm
Three ISS employees were due to come in and one to go home. None of them got their wish. Ten minutes before the plane that would drop them off and take our anxious friend home, they cancelled due to the largest dust storm reported out here in the past 5 years.
Included below are some pictures of the event. Apparently, we were hit “lightly.” Up north, they had one foot “sand drifts” forming outside of doors to trailers. Sand shovels anyone?
A message from the thick layer of dust on the air conditioning unit outside our trailer.
Ran my finger across the top of the picnic tables outside on our porch by the office.
A black leather laptop case left outside. Finger print for depth.
A Pajero that was outside over night.
A bottle left outside during the dust storm.
The storm is over. Mostly...
And as a bonus, two more pictures:
A package sent to me from my roommate with all my mail from home. The Postman put a message on there that said the following: "Thankx, we needs heroes bad come home safe -Wayne"
The crew of the Colbert Report up on stage at the palace. Couldn't take pictures while they were filming, so this is the only shot I got!
That’s all I have for an update this time, take it easy everyone!
