Learned a new term tonight.

Seems the rain in San Antonio is being called "Orange Rain" right now.

Combination of rain and mud.

Learn something every day.

True story! I was driving home last night and I thought it was muddy
splash from cars in traffic. You know, the stuff you get when you are
behind a car on slick dirty streets at high speeds.

But it just mess on the windshield just got bigger and nastier. It
rained like that for about an hour and a half, maybe more. Lots of
orange cars and trucks today!

It is supposed to be a mix of dust blown in from West Texas and Mexico
carried aloft by really high winds that is being pulled out of the air
by rain. Whatever it is, it is so fine it is like talcum powder.

And it is EVERYWHERE.
