Harmattan Winds




This post brought to you by Soccer Mom in Denial - posting every Monday on a different musical memory.

****************************************************


I woke up yesterday morning in Abuja and looked out my window to see...nothing. Well, more like a fog. or was it smog? A haze.

I went outside and rather than the usual toxic pain that smog causes I felt nothing. Still able to breathe, albeit a little more difficult.

The Harmattan winds come off the Sahara and blanket West Africa (and parts as far away as North America) with a sandy haze. This haze is so thin you almost don't realize what's happening until you notice that your white car is rust-colored, your books all have a gritty texture, and your computer is suddenly clogged.

"The Harmattan winds come off the Sahara..." You had more fun writing that!

Good luck. And great song. You get the award for participating while dealing with Harmattan winds.
