A dust storm swept across Cairo last night and now has plagued Jerusalem all day.
Reports indicate a storm rising by nightfall.
In the outdoor bazaars, people grit their teeth to brave the easterly winds. Others seek refuge within their abodes and resolve to wait until a better day to take care of business. I am always interested in preconceived notions of the Middle East . Today might have been a vision some one might contrive. To my knowledge, this is the first dust storm J-Town has encountered in about a year.
