Sunshine, finally
After a long, soul-crushing fog season, sunshine is finally back. Usually the fog coincides with summer--late July to the end of August. This year, the fog was thicker ?d lasted longer than ever... we were having foggy days even after I got back from muggy Japan in late September. No Indian summer this year.
Fall is here, and with it, clear blue skies and a cool breeze. In direct sunshine it is warm, but in the shade you are chilly. So you still need a jacket. Of course it never is ever hot.
Last weekend was Fleet Week in San Francisco, when all the Navy sailors are in town and the Blue Angels, a navy air team, perform an air show with their F-16 fighter planes over the bay. I never go to watch, as it is easy enough just to look up at the sky and see the planes and feel the boom of their engines when they fly overhead.
I did go to the Polish festival, for the second year in a row. My friend C. is Polish, and he invited me. For some reason, it's just fun sitting with him and his friends talking about books and church and people's relationships, and drinking brewskis (beers) and eating sausages. This was Sunday. I left the park at 5pm, drunk, and spent the rest of the evening sobering up.
A good day.
