Trevor, on the other hand, was thrilled with the pink sky and gritty air (that got stuck in your teeth while breathing). Apparently, it reminded him of his college days in Lubbock. I think he told me (no less than fifty times) that if it started to rain, mud would literately fall from the sky. As if he thought I’d find this comforting or something.
Anyway, below are some of my pictures from the Dallas Dust Bowl. I took them as I was leaving NorthPark after an oh-so yummy lunch at the Kona Grill (mmmmm…sushi). It is important to note that it was a brightly sunny day. Had the dust not taken over the atmosphere, I do not think there would have been a cloud in the sky.

add the smell of the stock yards blowing in and it will be like I never left.
Wow, I've never seen a pink sky before. But now I'm wondering - were the snowstorms in Syracuse easier to take than the dust storm? I've never experienced a Texas dust storm, so I wouldn't be able to guess which would be worse. :)
Uh ohhhh .. Trevor and I are alumni buddies! I bet he has even walked a mile from the commuter lot to the business building in 20 degree weather in December with sleet hitting his ear!
Murdough, Weymoth, Clement or Sneed?
Trevor is my friend now ...

edge,
I spent my freshman year at weymoth, not one of the cleanest places in the world, espeically the elevators after a friday night.
The picture is great! Reminds me of penny pitchers, schooners, and power hour....I guess you can tell how I spent my time there.
Denise: I'd totally take a Syracuse snow storm over a Texas dust bowl any day. Snow doesn't affect my allergies!
As for all of you Red Raider fans: you voluntarily went to a school in a city where "mud rain" is an almost a common occurrence. Weirdoes. :P
Mud falling from the sky could be interesting... but only once. Then it would just plain suck!
