Saw most of the first half,

of Ken Burn's PBS show on 'The Dust Bowl'. Have heard stories from the folks, who lived through it, but it's hard to imagine dealing with such a disaster, year after year, as heat and drought, along with fierce winds, turned the sky black with blowing dust. Is pretty hard to watch the suffering so many people endured, for so long, as the Great Plains dried up and blew away, taking people's lives and dreams with it.
