That thing about blowing dust is why I mentioned the thing about Human
Urine.
You think anybody rides their bicycle to the Port-A-Potty at 1 AM when
they're downing 12 beers??
Not on your life.
If you find a line at the Port-a-potty its for the #2 routine.
Come to think of it you might find some of that in the blowing sand too.
