Out Here On The Sonoran Desert We Call Dust Storms Guacamuggies

 June 18, 2026

   Still noodlin' the past as I see it. What happens when Navajos and Mexicans meet?

Daily Whip Out: "Yatahey Ese"


   What happens when vaqueros are riding at dusk and get swallowed up by a Guacamuggie?

Daily Whip Out:

"Vaquero at Dusk In A Guacamuggie"

   Full disclosure: in the 1980s on the Jones, Boze & Jeanne Radio Show (KSLX) we did a a bit about renaming Haboobs because we thought that sounded too Mideastern and we wanted our own term for the summer storms, and our clever listeners bombarded us with suggestions like Megahuggie and my personal favorite, Guacamuggie, which if memory serves me correctly was Jeanne Sedello's clever term.

Daily Whip Out: "Midnite Guacamuggie"

"The desert teaches you more about water than the ocean ever could."
