West Texas | Dust from grass windrows that have been soaked by two weeks worth of rain is no fun, either. Heavy, thick, BLACK, smoky stuff. Sticks to everything, and builds up until you can't see the original colors of anything. I'm just glad I don't face dust like that every year. Regular dust is bad enough.
A few years ago, the sheriff stopped by while I was combining a field near the highway, and said a lady had complained that the dust from my combine was drifting across the highway. She didn't specify a reason for the complaint, whether reduced visibility or what, so we speculated that the dust had perhaps messed up her freshly waxed car.
And a guy in town sued the local airport for allowing dust to blow (this is west Texas, in springtime... of course it's gonna blow) while doing federally mandated airport renovations. The suit was tossed out. | |
