Sand and Scorpions

Lisa went riding quads out in the desert Saturday evening. Said it was a pain trying to get all the sand off afterward. As I glanced through the readers digest I saw this and it gave me a laugh.

"When asked to describe what it's like to serve in the desert at the Marine base in Twentynine Palms, California, my son replied 'It's one big ashtray, and our butts are sitting in it.'"

It is amazingly dusty there.

Below is a picture that lisa sent of one of the large scorpions that are around there. One day one of the guys slid under the truck he was working on and came fact-to-face with one. Gave everyone a good laugh.
