    Fog has rolled in again. Afternoon fog reminds me of San Francisco.

      I always wanted, in young adulthood, to live in the Outer Sunset, near Ocean Beach. Wound up at San Diego’s Ocean Beach instead. The foghorn there was on the end of a very long pier. Here, mostly the ferries.

Sorry, comment time is over.
