Mist A Lot

Greetings! Zero chance of rain. We read this in a weather report for Santa Barbara, California. Last Tuesday morning I stepped out of the hotel room a few minutes before 5:00 am to a drizzle. It took a bit to determine rain was not actually falling, rather the density of the morning fog fell as heavy as mist. Nonetheless, I ran through the thick and moist air along with other early morning exercise enthusiasts. Of course, fisherman and a host of other seaside workers carried about business as normal on the beach and pier.

Just over an hour later I returned to the same area on a walk with Shannan. By this time some of the fog had lifted, still a fair amount remained. Interestingly, I noticed a world of things I had missed earlier like a skateboard park, several beach volleyball nets and significant sidewalk construction. The latter could have created a real problem had good fortune not been on my side.

The rest of the day proved as fortunate.  We had a stellar time visiting tourist attractions such as the Old Mission Santa Barbara, a vineyard and Hearst Castle.

Be careful in the fog. Run.
