in a fog
It’s officially summer now and that means bikini babes, good times in the sunshine, and dining under the stars as we enjoy those warm summer nights, Right!? Yes, that’s what the rest of you are enjoying. Unfortunately, faithful readers, Mother Nature likes to do her own thing here in SF, just like the kooky inhabitants. You see, summer brings a heavy blanket of thick, cold fog that covers our fair city and witholds those tasty UV rays from our starving melanin. You can easily spot our pale denizens visiting your part of the world by our shockingly white pigment (if you aren’t blinded by the whiteness first). There’s even a special fog forecast we can check to see exactly how foggy it’s going to be today. Very foggy. As Spock seeks to understand what it is to be human, we San Franciscans roam the globe in search of what it means to have a summer. There are no warm nights to be found here. The only bikini babes around are newcomers to The City and they’ll be gone in short order due to either hypothermia or because they left for places that actually get a summer. Dang, I was starting to get a really nice farmer’s tan but I think it will have faded before the sun appears again.

I cannot believe you’re complaining about the fog when you live in the otherwise best city in the nation. When you are depressed by the weather in SF, you can run two blocks to the nearest micro-climate and find some sun…. or feed your depressed state of mind with only the best french pastries around, compliments of La Boulangerie on Polk (I think the proprietors have 4 other locations in the city)…. or escape to wine country for a strong dose of sun and manicured vineyards.
Gee, can you tell I miss SF?

So you’re saying as long as I’m pale I may as well get fat and drunk, too?
