Fog

[poliphilo]

The weather forecast on my home page says fog- but my memory goes back to the 1950s when everyone burned coal. Then we had fog. Fog as in Dickens and Conan Doyle- raw and dank and sulphurous- with visibility down to a yard or two and the traffic going at a walking pace.  I've known nothing like it since. By comparison what I'm seeing out the window this morning is a light mist.
