This is the approach to the ninth hole at the Presidio Golf Course in San Francisco. The course opened to the public in about 2008.

And here I thought these dust storms (haboob in Middle Eastern Arabic) occurred only over there in the vastness of the deserts. But, on Tuesday in Phoenix:


I'm impressed. Anyone want to buy a time-share in Scottsdale? Cheap price.
