Has anyone heard? Has there been a national advisory or anything because I think there's been serious upswing in the amount of dust in the world. Or at least at my house.

I can't believe how much dust accumulates in my house. I moved a couple of things around on the dresser the other day and was appalled to see a thick coating of dust complete with mini-dustballs covering the back corners of the thing. Then I walked by these little shelves we have between our kitchen-dining area and stopped to stare. Then I swept a finger along the edge and a huge ball of dust rolled off my finger.

Has it always been so dusty?
