I've moved to Mars

Sydney this morning looked like Mars!
I felt like I was in Total Recall.
It's both

and horrible. My eyes hurt, all I can taste is dirt.
For those of you who don't know Sydney is SO FAR AWAY from any red dirt (like Uluru and stuff you see on promos for Australia). This dust has travelled a LONG way!

that's pretty neat. might be worth it to wear glasses and a face mask when going outside dude. dust like that can fuck up your lungs.

Awesome! Sounds like it only lasted about half an hour though, which is lame, because it's definitely one of those once-in-a-lifetime events that I would just sleep through.

The article made it sound like the color had faded by about 7:30, so that's why I said that.

Looks like cacodaemons and imps are about to teleport in at any given moment. Better get your bfg9000.
