Gray Summer
3/7/15 10:36The heat was on this morning when I woke up. If you don't live in San Francisco you do not, perhaps, know that summer is the gloomy season here, at least part time. If you live/work downtown or in the Mission, you may very well get sunshine, but nearer the ocean, or even where we are (Glen Park) it's a whole lotta fog. And if we get a few sunny days, they are followed by more days of fog ("no good day goes unpunished," as we say in my household).
Glen Park is on the edge of the Fog Belt™, so what often happens is that sometime around 11 the sun comes out, the sky gets blue, and it's all gorgeous--though windy and cool. And this goes on until 2 or 3, when the fog starts rolling in. And I mean rolling. Closer to the water, sometimes the fog moves like tumbleweed, big round balls of the stuff just bounding across open spaces like dreary puppies.
Round about now, I would kill for a couple of days in NYC, just to remember what "summer" feels like. Then I'd probably want to be back here again.
