   This is such a fabulous poem. I have a new appreciation for dust now. I no longer need to travel to foreign lands— foreign lands come to me.

   Ok, here is my dust story! I live in Colorado now, but spent a few years (not my idea!) in Texas. In 2019, I was working on a project in Minnesota right around the time that a powerful wind storm picked up dust from Texas and deposited it along with snow in Minnesota. Lots of jokes were told about this during meetings in Minnesota, including that I kidded with my Minnesota contacts that they were now “touched by greatness.” (I really don’t think Texas is that great and I couldn’t wait to get out of there, apologies to Texas friends).
