How weird it is to see my home town in the second photo. Something IMMEDIATELY grabbed my brain by the stem and went FAMILIAR.

That is a north-east-facing photo of Argent Street, Broken Hill, a small-medium Australian town on the border of New South Wales and South Australia. On the right of that intersection is cafe alfresco. I have eaten there dozens of times in my life. The photo is far enough back that if uncropped, you would see the location where my parents used to own a shop. I spent the first 15~ years of my life hanging around that corner every other day. The cinema is half a block down the left of that intersection.

The irony of this photo's usage in this shit post is that what is happening in that photo is a perfectly normal dust storm, and not even the worst the town has had in my time.

This is all, sadly, completely unrelated to the shit post. Thank you for your time.
