My kiddos found a great way to make those proverbial lemons (lots of sand everywhere) into lemonade (finding a stick and drawing some pictures) here on the school's playground... this is not a sandbox, by the way. They were kept inside for a few days--as if Chinese people aren't freaked out by kids being outside anyway--thanks to the dust storm / sanding craziness... I'm still not really sure what to call it.
The weather since then, though, has been great, thanks to the government finding their own way to clean up Beijing (as seen in link) by shooting chemical rockets into the sky--I'm not joking--making some blue, cloudless skies (and just a little rain) the past couple days. Like I used to joke about Geneva controlling the weather, China really does. I'm not complaining though, at all. I got some sun out of the deal and despite the fact that the sand isn't going anywhere, sand and sun is always a good combo.
Now all I need is some of that proverbial lemonade.
