AUTHOR: Robert TITLE: I love the fog... DATE: 10/01/2003 07:33:00 PM ----- BODY: I love the fog, the dark chilly quick clouds that push over our city -- an unwelcome door open to the winter wind. I love the fog because it changes my city. Hillsides to fogslides, houserows to windtunnels, windowpanes to rattling harbingers of summer's death. It cleans out the hot and the tanning and the pretty and the surface and the sun and vacation and oh-its-been-so-long ... And replaces it with cozy and party and savory smell and holiday and sweaters and wine and laughter and fireplace and presents and family and oh-its-so-good. For a while anyway. ----- --------
