there was a bloke standing at Kurrajong Heights Lookout standing at the railing with hi head back and his arms out. i think he was waiting for someone to take him away.
he must not have heard the devil call up Nova and inform all the people, it is not the end, its just a bloody dust storm!

I woke up and saw the red glow and thought one of the cars was on fire on the front lawn.........although not putting my glasses on before looking out the window probably had something to do with that!
i was on the road, and i had a lovely taste of dust in the back of my throat when i got to work!!!!

I woke up this morning and took a peak out my window and had a flash back of when the little kid opens the kitchen door in Close encounters
How freaky was it hey! .... I cant believe how red everything was. .
Anyways ... I just HAD to see what it was like to ride in .. so did a lap this morning, and needless to say, got absolutely covered in dust
Had a blast .. was like riding on Mars ..
Not to mention my poor filter though
