BTW he wants us to have another child and call him (or her) Hoboob. I was thinking about the mess and the pool.

My grandparents moved to Southeast Kansas to escape the flat barren landscape. Oregon's a beautiful state, so it was a wise choice!<br /><br />Thanks Chrissy. I gave the pool a healthy dose of shock this morning and we've been working it all day, brushing the dirt to the floor drains and running the pump 24/7.

HA! Last night's was the third one in four days, but the others weren't whoppers. Maybe the plural is habeeb? : ) The focus of the news tonight is the backup lines at car washes. I guess people don't remember how to use a hose and bucket at home.Life's a Beach!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17604678027403810586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3326994282119368596.post-21635901454143396062011-07-06T16:08:07.690-07:002011-07-06T16:08:07.690-07:00What's the plural of "haboob" ?

Those last few photos were taken from inside. Even then, I get bad headaches with the haboobs. I've got one today because all that dirt is in the air. The skies aren't blue today -- they're a dirty haze. I need to get busy vacuuming dust on the inside.Life's a Beach!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17604678027403810586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3326994282119368596.post-17750859003227041352011-07-06T09:32:44.746-07:002011-07-06T09:32:44.746-07:00YIKES!!!

I'm guessing the pool will not be swimmable for a couple of days. We have an in-floor cleaning system, so we repeatedly sweep the dirt on the floor toward the drains at the end of the pool. I threw in shock, but not sure if that will do anything! I rode my bike for 3 miles this morning, but decided to quit because Life's a Beach!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17604678027403810586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3326994282119368596.post-73473930768440219832011-07-06T08:03:44.575-07:002011-07-06T08:03:44.575-07:00Hi!
