The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VIII.. Stop In!!!

[ezdays]

Although the Phoenix metro area is in the desert, it isn't sandy. I was stationed in Yuma way back when, and there is a large area that is sandy just across the California state line. They use it for a lot in motion pictures instead of going to the Sahara desert to shoot a desert scene. It was not unheard of for people that wanted to get their vehicle repainted, to drive out there and park in the middle of one of those sand storms, then submit a claim to their insurance company. Around here, all we seem to get is mud all over ours, but still, we really like the rain that comes with one of those storms. We were watching the rain the other night, and it was falling about at a 45 degree angle from the wind. And believe it or not, we sometime get hail in one of these storms even though the temperature is around 100, as we did last week.
