Dude there were days in Afghanistan that looked like that but worse, we could not see the mountain range that was a 1minute helicopter flight away. It's great for the sinuses also:D

JIM27 - Yes, it is very real and very nasty.
Grouperhead - Oh yeah, ALL the time. The new stadium is sweet! Are you from here? I don't know any of the names of the team, I just go for the food and drinks! :D
Just to let some of you know how things are around here, the city built a 35 million dollar sports complex for 2 high schools and the Rockhounds ( a minor league baseball team that is owned by the Oakland A's) to share. It accommodates football, soccer, track, and baseball.
This is a drawing of it. I can't find any good shots of it.
