OK, I guess the grey color doesn't show up too well in the pictures, but take my word for it, there is a lot of dust in the air.
Now, to change the subject, I want to mention a couple of things that took place awhile back on this date. In 1953 the first Corvette was finished and this date is considered the Corvette's birthday. Remember the '53 Vet?
And a year earlier on this date in 1952, the Guiding Light soap opera appeared on television. Before that, it was broadcast on radio for fifteen years. It was the longest running drama on the air.
Overall, it was on the air (either on radio or TV) for 72 seasons!! Now that is hard to believe. It had 57 seasons on TV. I remember it on TV from way back when I was a kid. My Mother use to watch it and later on, my wife watched it. Of course, since it was on, I watched it, too. Let me know if there is dust where you live and you all have a great day, you hear?
No dust here that I can see, but if there is I will worry about Valley Fever. I never got too hooked on soaps except after I had my first child and started watching As the World Turns. I was glad to get unhooked from that! Of course Dallas was the best soap of all times for the first few seasons.
ReplyDeleteSearch For Tomorrow was the one I liked when I was a kid. Don Knots got his start on that show as a skinny teenager. At least that is how my memory remembers it.
DeleteThe pollen is overwhelming any other dust in the air.
ReplyDeleteThis dust from Africa showed plainly in the satellite views and radar. Not good at here at all, but it will get better, maybe.
DeleteIt seems when I lived in Houston the African dust always made its yearly trip there. Too far I guess to make it to Del Rio.
ReplyDeleteOur neighbor in Austin, Texas got my mother hooked on As The World Turns. I got hooked on All My Children. I thought they did not have soaps anymore but today when we were at the hospital they had them on.
You are right, this is not the first time it has happened and will not be the last. And as far as soap operas go, some sort of them will be on TV, probably for ever.
DeleteOur weather men said it was coming in too. It is hazy. I'm trying to stay out of it as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteNow, when do we get the smoke from Mexico? lol
Too bad the Mexican smoke didn't come at the same time so that we could get them both over with.
DeleteDust here is Mexican, Terlinguan, Texas panhandle and who knows what else. We have more than our share of it and I'd be glad to send some your way. The Africa stuff wouldn't stand a chance.
ReplyDeleteI sure wouldn't turn down a 53 vet, but preferred the 55 when they had the whopping 265 cu in v8. I'd take a 57 T-Bird over any vet though.
I sort'a figured you were going to fess up to watching that soap. ;)
Soaps are addicting, for sure.
