Whoa. Try breathing in this:

Just a little slice of life over here.
Driving back from shopping in Dubai this evening was like driving in pea-soup fog. But that's dirt in the air, not vapour. Stirred up and blasted over here by a storm hundreds of km away over the deserts of IRAQ.

Visibility: 600metres.
Shiny black car = dull beige car
Sitting anywhere outdoors will give you a beige ass

Official warning: "The National Centre for Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) has issued a warning of low visibility in the country, particularly in Western parts, due to dust and sand. It has also warned asthma patients to avoid exposure to dust."

Bonus? The humidity's gone. Completely! No sweat!
