Welcome to Fog City


It makes a pretty picture but it is not so pleasant in the city at times when this persists. Actually, my own feeling is that it is the wind that is most troublesome. When the fog is really thick and settles in on the ground and everything is still, it is quite beautiful, especially at night, but most times it is several hundred feet of the ground with a strong wind pushing it into the city. That is what I don't like. Many people do not understand why this occurs and finally there is an excellent article in this morning's San Francisco Chronicle which gives a very good explanation of how and why this occurs. Those interested in understanding this phenomenon should read this.

Robin Wiliams for governor? Yikes, who next? Apparently the Democratic party in this state is looking at a number of possibiliies including SF Mayor Gavin Newsom, actor Rob Reiner, and comedian Robin Williams as well. You can read the article here.
