Bristol’s Brain: Saharan Desert Dust
How wild is it that we have dust from the Sahara Desert settling over our area this week? It’s so bad that experts are saying that people with asthma and respiratory issues should stay inside because that’s all we need on top of the heat and pollen that Louisiana likes to dish up on a daily basis.
In addition to ‘air you can wear,’ we get dust, too… Dust that has small pieces of pyramids and mummies in it… and camel turds! Why couldn’t this crap have landed on top of Alabama and stayed there? It could have sat right on top of Bryant-Denny Stadium and no one in Louisiana would have complained, but no, it has to come here…
I wonder if the Barksdale Bubble has anything to do with it? Are you going to tell me this is some crazy weather phenomena that just happened to lift a bunch of dust from halfway around the world in AFRICA, carried it thousands of miles across the Atlantic Ocean and plunked it down HERE?
On Ancient Aliens, they say the pyramids were built by aliens, so maybe they’re trying to cross pollinate and meet up with their brethren in some hidden missile silo in the back of the East Reservation on base? Then they’ll mysteriously reform out of all that pyramid, mummy, camel poop dust and regenerate into little green men! You never know… It’s no less weird than having dust blow half way across the world to come for a visit. This is the kind of stuff that keeps me up at night. It’s time for a nap…
