I think I could be on a IndyCar pit team - as the guy who squirts the water after refueling - I'm pretty good with a garden hose and have lots of experience ;)
Amazing that dust can travel that far - I did see a Discovery channel show once though where they said that during the "Dust Bowl" some of the dust from Oklahoma ended up on the president's desk in D.C.
The home made stuff often does. We used to have an Apple Festival and parade and Dad would always buy a gallon of cider. Once it sat around for awhile you could get plastered off that stuff
