View From This Morning's Ride

Well, here it is, the view from today's ride. This is pretty typical of what I see most of the time where I ride. Dusty and dirty. There are much prettier areas here in Arizona to ride, but for daily rides, this is the view. As long as the wind isn't blowing very hard, it's okay, otherwise the dust can really get bad. Last night we had a pretty violent thunderstorm pass through. The windows were literally shaking and the thunder was loud. The two little ones crawled in our bed and one was pretty panicked. Not much rain though, in fact it seems like the only thing left behind was a bunch of new tumbleweeds I had to navigate through.
