I am sitting here in the studio with George McNamara, who hasn't said anything all morning since he got over here and since Emily got on. He's very shy. West Larrabee. And we got Emily Spoliure from North Dakota Game and Fish, North Dakota Fessons Forever joining us today. Emily,

this has been about five years in the making. I've been trying to get you to come on the podcast

and you've done everybody else's podcast but mine. So now finally I cornered you on something

and we're going to have a good time talking this morning, having some coffee. Before we even get started, though, talking about all the stuff that North Dakota Fesons Forever is getting into. Let's talk just a little bit about the freaking sandstorm that we had yesterday. That was the first. I would not call it a sandstorm. Dust storm. It's a, I've lived. I know what they lived like through the dust bowl now. Right, exactly.

I got, I got very fine dirt all over my house. Yeah. When we get done with this podcast, it's going to be the spring cleaning of all spring cleaning days because it's gross. Oh, you, you should have been at my house. My wife went over. We put central air in. Yeah. And she says, well, I know how to get rid of this dust,

this floating through the air.

She just turned the AC on, So I'll be changing filters tomorrow. Oh, boy. Did you guys have that down there? At least you guys were in houses. I was out in the field doing a site visit with a landowner. Um, so I was taking, I was taking the full force of the dust all over my body.

And it was not, it was not very pleasant. I could not wait to get home and take a shower after

being out in the field all day yesterday. It was gross. I was out running the mail route and there was a

couple times. It was, it was super bad. If you got just westy here, just a little ways, it was bad enough here. But I was out running the mail route and there was a couple times. It was, it was super bad.

If you got just westy here, just little ways, it was bad enough here. But I was going five, ten miles an hour having a hard time seeing the road. It was like driving through a blizzard. It was unbelievable. I've never seen dirt blow like that. No. Well, except for over over in the desert i think there's very few living

people in this part of the country that have seen that like that was dust bowl era type

dust storm that was unreal and it you know watching it come move in was the crazy part yeah i mean

all morning like you can see the sun and by by the time i got done with the route at one o'clock in the afternoon it Like, you could see the sun. By the time I got done with the

route at one o'clock in the afternoon, you couldn't see the sun. It was twilight. Yeah, it looked

orange. And when the sun was going down, did any of you look at that when the sun was going down?

No. Wow. Really? It was just like an, you could look directly at it and it would not hurt your

eyes. It was like, your eyes it was like yeah

it i mean well it's like the moon was up yeah it was the sun literally i put a post up on

social media and everybody uh jumped on there saying you know maybe if we weren't taking out

tree rows and breaking up all the all the native prairie of it stuff and i was like oh certainly
