    Default Summertime in Baghdad

    Isn't it lovely? Took these this week when they blew in. They tend to last a day or two. When the entire sky turns orange, is when they are at their worst.

    Upside is it is dramatically cooler when the sun is blocked like this. I have had two people tell me this is like Burning Man, not that I have ever been.

    I'm lucky to be able to experience this kind of weather effect, and now I'm ready to return to earth and see the green of North Carolina once again...
