Dust Storm -- Part Deux

We had a dust storm with stronger winds last week. This time, a little bit of dust came in around the windows, and I taped up the laundry room door shown in the last picture. The above picture is from the first dust storm of the season. That's how much dust was still piled up on the back of the car four days later. Our garage, though covered, only has two walls.

Here is a good article from the "Tallahassee Democrat" newspaper about drug-running on the Juarez/El Paso border, entitled: "Mexico, Part I: Border issues are not terrorism and immigration." (www.tallahassee.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070301/OPINION05/703010350/1006/OPINION)

U.S. Border Patrol cars on duty in certain sectors have to be parked behind plexiglass "windows," to protect agents from rock throwers on the Juarez side of the border.
