Dust

The Friends of the Library annual meeting/luncheon/speaker was today. A group of the swimmers had a table. The speaker was quite good, and the food was delicious.

This definitely took care of my main meal for the day. Poor John had to settle for chorizo, eggs, and tortillas for his dinner. LOL

==================================
I’ve just finished reading The Worst Hard Times by Timothy Egan. It’s about the Dust Bowl in the middle of the Depression in the 1930s, told in the stories of some of the survivors. It’s a very moving account about a really terrible time.

And now, that same area is a drought again. And the dust is blowing. There has been a cloud of dust all over the midsection of the country, reaching all the way to Chattanooga. Amazing - and scary.

You're probably familiar with the photographs of Dorothea Lange from this time.  Here are some others, plus a map.
