If I were to speak to Moses I’d have some questions for him that weren’t covered in the story of the exodus out of Egypt.
Transportation
I didn’t know there are websites dedicated to how to take care of your car living in the desert heat, a place that wasn’t designed for cars which includes the paint, rubber (think tires, wipers, and the trim along your windows), and windshields. When I started delving into the information it felt overwhelming as here was something else I needed to learn! Luckily I have some months to prepare as it’s now winter and then there’s spring before summer hits.
The Sand
Even with all the roads and sidewalks there’s a lot of sand around here. It blows around when the wind kicks up and it’s been described having the consistency of talcum powder. So what would Moses have to say about how to keep your carpet clean? Me? I’m considering placing a bin next to the front door to put shoes in when I come home.
Water
Like a camel I need to carry water around with me. I don’t ever remember anything being mentioned in the story of exodus that you don’t sweat in the desert like you do other in other climates as the water quickly evaporates from your skin. I consider this priceless information to have as well as a couple of water bottles with you when you travel, even a gallon container just in case.
When the sun goes down
During the summer I’m told it will stay in the 90’s overnight and go as high as 110 degrees Fahrenheit during the day. Meanwhile during the winter when the sun goes down the temperature can drop 30 degrees. Dressing in layers is a must around here if you’re out for the day. Once again, here’s more missing information.
I realize Moses had other problems and I’m sure some of these details weren’t on his To Do list but delegated to I’d dare say the women.
Not in Kansas any longer,
Dorothy (aka,Beth)
