 A sand storm has just come up and instead of raining it is blowing sand. I'm not eXaggerating when I say that there is about half inch of sand on this letter, and I am inside a building at that. To give an inkling of how dry it is down here, the men claim but two rainstOrns in the two and 8 half years they have been here, and only a sprinllling at that. It has now sprinEled for five minutes after the sand storm and the last bit of rain they had here was last September.
