On the walk home this evening there was a team of men sweeping sand into little piles. Now if you are unaware, Dubai sits on the edge of a vast desert, aptly named "The Empty Quarter." Winds blow the sand everywhere. In about five minutes those little piles of sand will end of where they were. I want to go back and see if those men will vacuum up the sand and deposit it back in the desert.
