Misty Moisty Morning


A and I went for a walk up on the levee late-morning and found a few more interesting things to photograph. Lately, it has been very foggy, although this morning the fog was mostly higher. There is a difference between "fog" and "tule fog". Tule fog rises from the ground and hides everything: trees, traffic lights, street lights, tail-lights, and rivers. Regular fog masquerades as "overcast". Thursday night, M and I went to the Celtic Thunder concert. On arrival, all was good. On exit, we couldn't even see the parking lot from the arena doors.

Because the fog layer is so thick, the daytime highs are in the mid-40s - at 2 p.m. today it was 43 degrees! Yesterday, the high was 46. The lows are in the upper 30s. It's cold for this time of year! To take the chill off, L and I plan to bake cookies after dinner tonight and have them for dessert with hot chocolate. (These are the cookies that were in the gift basket I won in the raffle at our staff's "Winter Wowzer" meeting/party on Friday. As advertised, they are "scandalously good!") I opened the cookie jar and shared it with the staff, so didn't bring even one cookie home!
