What are you up to on this extremely foggy Friday?

Yesterday, it his 70 F here in the Bay Area. I put my shorts on when I went to do laundry, and will probably wear them today. The fog has rolled in from the East, a different kind of fog than when comes in over the Bay. I'm heading off to work for a few hours. I think our autistic four-year-old girl will be there today. I hope the other teachers give her some space to explore the environment today, but I'm not holding my breath. What's up in your neck of the woods? Picture is of the San Francisco Bay Bridge on a clear day.

I’m up to 5’4”. My aunt says, “It stacks tall and stays long, doesn’t it.”

I did not understand...grrr. I want to. I guess your neck is at 5 ft. 4 inches, so you have 1 more foot approximately for your head.

@vandana7 — 5’4” is my height in American measurements (feet and inches). My aunt’s comment is that is how high they can stack sh*t.

Why do you put shorts on when you do laundry? Do you wash your things in an open tub and are afraid of getting wet?

@TheHorse I'd appreciate it if members from Fahrenheit countries also added Celsius. I always also add Fahrenheit if I mention Celsius. I see it as an act of politeness to do this. I don't like being told to check this myself.

@MALUSE I have already told you the formula: F = 9/5 C + 32. This is not brain surgery.

I like to get simple stuff done (like laundry, which I did yesterday) on days when I feel "blah." Today, I felt pretty good when I woke up. I worked for a few hours (the autistic girl slept), and now the sun has broken through the fog.

I find Iowa to be pretty when there is snow on the trees. I might move there when I retire. I would cycle a lot during the warmer months and give music lessons during the colder months.

@NJChicaa I had a pretty relaxed day too. My 18-month-old buddy is talking up a storm, and the autistic girl slept the whole time I was there. I suspect Benadryl or Scotch.

@DocAndersen That means the capital area has turned into a quite of high security fort? Well sounds a lot like what we have in New Delhi, the Indian capital, though the numbers are even bigger.

Why didn't you post a picture of the fog? Or is it your own personal mental fog? There was a vague light orb in the sky when I looked out the kitchen window just before lunch.

On Thursday morning, I did drive in foggy conditions with car heater on and lights on. Thankfully sunshine came and fog lessened and subsequently went away. I do remember some winter days in previous years when I had to drive in continuous fog which can be a big challenge. I remember taking a cab in England years ago on a very cold December night and once the driver needed to back from somewhere. I do not know how he did that in such a less visibility. Did you also had to drive in a dense fog condition?

I didn't this time. But I have when I visit friends "across the Delta." It can be nasty out there, especially at night.

The Bay Area can be pretty in certain places and from certain angles. But I don't find it as "beautiful" overall as some people claim.

Great picture. We had a lot of experience with fog when we toured the west coast. Nothing shaking here in cold Ohio. 70 degrees? I'm jealous.

It started snowing today, about 2-3" but it will not last, tomorrow temps go up above zero again, so it will be very wet and muddy again. I brought my sheep two hay bales and they loved it. It smells very much like spring and summer in the barn. Then I worked on the computer on my nieces digital art to make them suitable for printing them on the products in my Zazzle store. I can put them on cards, or bags or several other products. Then I baked some minced meat and peeled potatoes and cleaned the Brussel sprouts, which my hubby will cook in the pressure cooker. So now it's about time to have dinner and watch some news and CNN. It's 6.30pm overhere.
