    I had to ride to work through that. Woot.

    yeah. Its all over the harbour and out well and truely past the mountians. So yeah. They're actually predicting if the wind stays somewhat simmilar that the dust will hit New Zealand.

    We got hit pretty bad here. You couldnt see a cross the valley out the back of my place, and its only a hundred or so meters across.

    I also now hav a brown car, it is no longer white.
    I want to die in my sleep like my Grandma, not screaming like the other 3 people in her car.
