Cartagena Colombia? Lovely city. Cloud of what?
Yeh I wanted to take it for mist today but it looked suspiciously like an early toxic dust storm. |

AAaaaarghhh!! To get me? like the boogeyman???
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes,
You're paralyzed
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
Yeah, ooh..
Ooooooohhhhh!!!!!!!  |

| If you got to this site http://www.weather.go.kr/ and click Ȳ��, you can get readings for various places in Korea for the number of particles in the air. It seems like the far western island of ��ɵ� is taking in an increase of yellow sand (dust) now, so it will soon reach the peninsula. |

Sorry but you will have a yellow glow for the next few days

Yellow dust advisory in effect on peninsula
... The advisory was extended to the central part of the country, including parts of western Gangwon Province an hour later, and to the eastern coast as of 4 a.m.
The fine dust particles weighing 80 to 600 micrograms pose health problems for people with respiratory ailments and can inflict damage on the production of products such as semiconductors.
