The Fog

Last night it was raining. I know, to most people, that means nothing, but up here, when it is January and it rains, it is nothing but bad news. At any rate, this morning, the roads were very icy to say the least. The highway wasn't too bad, though we were cruising at a comfy 20km/h under the limit, but in town, it is a different story. Of course, this is perfect for Carling (see my December 24th entry...).
Funny though, the worst part of the weather was the fog. Yeah, it has been foggy all day. I sit and look out my huge office window, and I cannot see past our parking lot. This is kind of eerie as I can normally see all the traffic further away, and way off to the horizon even.
The world could end outside my little foggy bubble and I would have no idea. A ten car pile-up a mere 200 yards away, and I would be oblivious. Vogon ships descending to annihilate the earth in order to make a new Hyperspace Bypass? I would be clueless. Of course driving is difficult, but wrestling with thoughts of giant yellow slab-like ships that I cannot even see is far, far worse.
I hope it ends soon.
