WONDERING about Brisbane's eerie golden glow?
The Weather Bureau says it is courtesy of a dust storm that went through the St George area in the State’s southwest yesterday.
Dust, combined with smoke from fires and car pollution, combined to produce a haze across the city.
A 20 knot southeasterly is expected to continue through much of the day in coastal areas, with swells to 3m.
Lighter winds are expected in the interior.

Under yellow skies
This is Pattys picky of this mornings yellow sky possibly caused by the smoke from the fires 
Yellow Sky from my view
Here's my yellow sky picture. No the camera is not set on sepia. It's weird!
YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2006 when...
1. You accidentally enter your PIN on the microwave.
2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.
7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't even have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.
11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )
12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.
14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.

Joke
A man was separated from his wife, got drunk, staggered to their house, and pounded on the door.
After fifteen minutes, his wife had had enough.
She yelled through the closed door, "What do you want?"
Through the closed door and the bitter wind, she heard, "Honey! I'm half frozen! Can I stay here tonight?"
She replied, "Sure. I was afraid you wanted to come in!"
