Update on the dusting

Or sanding, or whatever. Estimates are coming out that about 20,000 tons of sand were dumped on Beijing Sunday night. Keep in mind this isn't like snow, it won't melt and go away. That's 20,000 more tons of sand, dirt and dust here to stay. Sure you can brush it off your car, but really, it's not going anywhere. Thankfully, no more has fallen... yet. Or, as one of my colleagues said yesterday, "Beijing is very dirty."
