Driving home late this afternoon I suddenly came upon a thick fog bank just as I was rounding the corner to my home on the "cold" side of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Having lived in the same neighborhood for 30 years, I have gotten used to the fog wall at random times, but today's incidence was particularly strange. About every couple of hours the fog would completely dissipate and you could see for miles over the ocean. My husband had planned to wash his car when the fog rolled in and I found him sitting in the living room a few minutes later because the skies had cleared again. Everyone knows you shouldn't wash a car when the sun is out because of all the streaks you get. And, then, minutes later, we were socked in again! So, he ambled down to the garage to pull out his car and I went off to a meeting. An hour later when I left my meeting the fog was so thick you couldn't see more than 10 yards in front of you. So, I crept home, relieved my car knew the way because I was driving blind. Ironically, within minutes of finally getting into the house, I looked out the window and the sky was crystal clear. It was the strangest thing I have ever seen!
