The understatement of the year...check the news and weather reports from Arizona about Tuesday's dust storm...rumor has it that it's the worst storm in history. I left the Convention Center about 7:30pm... (typical day at the office...14 hours). As I was driving toward Tempe, I noticed what I thought was a storm cloud moving across the horizon. Then I realized that the cloud was too close to the ground and I thought it was a fire at the airport...(the "cloud" was moving quickly and was really thick like smoke). As I got closer to the cloud I noticed that the color was wrong for smoke and the wind started picking up...it was a dust storm. But not the kind I experienced coming across the country when I moved out here. This storm blocked out everything! I entered the dust at 40th and Washington and I couldn't see 5 feet in front of me... I have been in a lot of snowstorms and torrential rain storms in my day, but this was the worst phenomenon ever...Wind gusts of 70 mph and intermittent rain made my windshield a mud slide...and you couldn't see the traffic lights until you were right on top of them. And if that wasn't enough, the flasher people were out in force... (you know who I'm talking about--flashers on ,crawling along at 5mph, no clue). Could you just do us all a favor and park your car and wait out the storm so that people who KNOW how to drive can get places without having do deal with you.
I am scheduled to work outrageous amounts of hours through Tuesday the 12th and all I can say is CHA-CHING! After the 95+ hours in California and this week, I have treated myself to a new set of golf clubs (Ping I-15 irons and wedges and a G15 driver---sweet!). Now have lots of money for greens fees but no time to play (talk about a twist of fate).
