"FOG"
For almost a week, we have had fog come in from the Gulf in the late afternoons in town and by about 7 pm inland where I live.
On Friday, I was in town at a meeting. When it was over, it was about 3 pm. And I on my purple cycle, sporting my pink helmet, rode down the main road along the Gulf of Mexico to the gym. As I traveled, I could see haze ahead and then all around me. I said to myself, "Is this smoke? What is it?" There was no smell of smoke. I heard no sirens. I'm not usually so close to the shore that time of day when on rare occasions fog happens to roll in. I could feel very cool jets of moist air in my face and on my arms as I rode. When I got to the gym, I then realized it was fog. It was so exhilarating. Fog is magical, mystical, spiritual, it makes the ordinary - extraordinary. Why? I don't know. It just does.
FOG
Heavenly hush, hallowed silence still
Slowly slipping from the sea
Billowing curling cotton - surely
Unfurling up the shore to me
Surrounding, shrouding, hiding all
In smoke, a haze, a misty gray
Cool, moist fingers in the air
Change the nature of the day
Familiar sights all disappear
In densest dew drops pure
Sounds muffled by a million mists
Move the mind to mystic musing sure
Move me, smooth me, whisper to me
Words of hope and healing tone - then hear
My words returned in deepest love
"I hear you loud and clear!"

Sailing in fog is really neat. I like it also. I've rowed in the fog before and couldn't see the land. It was primeval.
Ooooo..I love fog!
I lived in No California in the foggiest place in America. The little local airport there was used during WWII to train fighter pilots to take off and land in fog in London!
My friend Chris, who lives in Key West was saying they have had fog daily...you'll meet him in June.
OK--I'm off to breakfast with a sponsee!! Toodles....

Fog in the moutains in autumn, shape-shifting...
