the foggy fog fog fog

4 hours ago it was sunny and warm. Two hours ago it was sunny. Now, a coud of thick gray fog has floated it and visibility is in the 100's of yards. Walking in the fog is like watching an old movie that has gotten stretched and faded sitting in the sun on a too-tight reel. And it feels like getting wrapped in a cold blanket, thick and surrounding, but clammy and not really that welcome. I lived in the Portland area for 18 months about a decade ago, so I thought I was prepared for the Northwestern weather here in Crescent City, but I was wrong. I do not recall fog like this in Seaside. I still like it, don't get me wrong. But fog is different than rain.
