Fog

The fog in San Diego is very strange. You don't go into it slowly but it is more like a wall. This morning on the way to work it was a beautiful sunny day. I turned a corner and looked down the street and there was the fog like a big wall. The picture isn't as dramatic as the fog was but you can see it is nice and sunny and then suddenly you can't see any further.

I have learned to check the temperature in the mornings. The beautiful sunny days can be deceiving. It may look warm but it is darned cold. If it is below 50°F I do NOT ride my bike. It just isn't fun when it is that cold. Lately I've been driving.
