Dusty

Yesterday, an uncharacteristically dusty wind blew through Qufu.  I've been hearing of dust storms and droughts in other parts of the country, so perhaps we're getting some of the secondary effects.  One of my students sent me a text to warn me of the dusty conditions: "What a dismal weather we have today!  All my body smells great dirt.  Yours, Jed."  (I think his meaning is that he can smell the dust, although the wording is a little ambiguous!)
