Anyway, to give you an idea of the dust here, note the different colors to the “bra cups”. Yesterday I was kicked out of my spot under the right side of the tent because workers were hoisted up to the top of the tent to scrub it. <\/p>\n

The right side is scrubbed, the left side, obviously, isn’t. I don’t know how often they do this…I’ll keep you posted.<\/p>\n

It isn’t super-dusty here, but there isn’t a lick of foliage anywhere at all! No grass, no trees, NOTHING. All sand and rocks. For those who know how much I love to garden, you could imagine my disdain! <\/p>\n

Maybe I should ask for stuff to plant flowers here? The climate is great this time of year…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
