Crazy Chaleur Weather

A couple days ago the weather here in the Alibori really started acting strange. Temps reached upper the 90's...which is normal, the temps should have kept rising until we reached mid 100's. Then the wind picked up for two days and kicked up a lot of dust. Finally two days ago it actually RAINED for about 4-5 mins. Yesterday and today we had about 150m of visability...the dust was so thick in the air that you could taste it breathing. I caught one of the large lizards running aroung the workstation only to find out they have unproportionaly large teeth for such a small animal. He caught me in the thumb and left two long teeth marks.

The US government spent thousands of dollars, hours of training, and countless amounts of paper work, all so you could go to Africa and hunt flesh eating lizards......... awesome!
