I will never forget my first sandstorm. I was a VERY young bride from 
Michigan (eighteen) and my now-ex husband had spent much of his childhood in 
Arizona. I was standing at the door of our home, utterly fascinated by the 
*brown* sky, and he was yanking at my arm to get back in the house. (Gee, I 
wonder why my dad worries about me still in extreme weather situations...) I 
just thought it was amazing!

My favorite apartment there, though, was the one with the big picture window 
that faced west over the mountains. Hands down the most fabulous sunsets I'd 
ever seen, and I had a spectacular view.
