...like fog...

fog is an actual person here in the bay area. and she has distinct emotions. in the summer, she stays out too late enjoying the night life in the city. she stays in bed til practically noon, her head is thick with too many drinks and the blanket is pulled up to her nose. she manages to keep the curtains drawn so the early sun doesn't wake her... and the rest of us have to wait til she's conscious again before we can see the sunshine. she heads down to the beach for the day, but inevitably is back in the city for happy hour that evening. fog generally just skips town altogether for most of the fall, but winter and spring she is a fickle and downright unsettled creature... here, then gone, dark and brooding, then laughing and dancing, smothering the streets, tickling the tops of the hills, and always her passionate affair with the ocean... some days you can't tell where she stops and he begins...
