Fog......

That second picture reminds me when I was at a DODGERS game at Candlestick Park and late eve the fog rolled over and into the stadium. Awesome sight.
 
Avalon (Catalina Island) to Long Beach Harbor gate DUE NORTH in a fog like that in picture 2 sailing aboard my 36 ft Ketch the "CONCHITA". I knew we were good when we passed the marker bell buoy some distance out side the entrance.; Not to mention the tug boat that passed us at a rapid speed on the SAME heading.
 
Sometimes fog just seems so appropriate.

Someone told me once fog was a cloud that didn’t “make it”.

My aunt started to cry, and said “Thats so sad”. We all got a good laugh at that.

She passed from Covid early in the pandemic.
 
We lived in England in the 60's. Dad was in the Air Force and stationed in Croughton. One day driving back to base housing from the base center complex the fog rolled in so heavy I had to get out of the car and walk alongside with my hand on the front fender to keep my dad on the road. And all he could see of me was my hand up to the elbow. I almost missed the turn in to the street to our house. That is the worst fog I have been in.
Once in the Laguna Mtns. in CA I rounded a corner and drove into a cloud bank. Completely disoriented and stopped the car a few feet from a truck that had driven into the front yard of a house situated across the street in a "T" intersection. But I guess that doesn't count as fog. :unsure:
 
For years I regularly traveled the I-5 and dealt with Tule fog. Let’s make one thing perfectly clear. The fog didn’t cause a single accident. Idiot drivers who drove too fast caused every one.
