The month of June-2005 in SF saw temps in the 70s, sunshine sparkling on 
most surfaces, gentle breezes caressing everything in their path.       
I was Honestly  *-Worried-*  that summer would remain this way but by 
end June early July the Fog Returned With A Vengeance!!!!!!!       
Hallelujah!!!!!!!


When I leave for work at 3-PM high on the hill with a panorama of the 
Pacific, the sky is overcast with high fog.       When I arrive at 
Presidio and Geary there is 'sometimes' sun  --  downtown can easily be 
seen to bask in the sun.       Within 1.5-2-hours the fog has reached 
Presidio Ave. while downtown usually has some sun.       By 7 or 8-PM 
fog is hitting the ground with a vengeance, totally without direction 
which is under constant change, and with energy in movement that seems 
boundless.       It produces an ultra haze and while it is easy to see 
headlights a block away, not much else can be seen.       The wind has 
picked up and is now carrying the fog downtown where it produces a 
strong haze hindering visibility --  this is unusual for this past 
decade  --  All The Fog Is Quite Strong.

By midnight the wind has subsided but the fog is persistent and, 
highlighted by the available street light, appears like a Very Fine, 
Never Ending, Continuous, Ever-So-Gentle Snow WithOut accumulation on 
any surface.

When sunny psgrs will comment on how beautiful the day is and when they 
don't get a reply, they say:       """Ohhh, That's Right, You Like The 
Fog, Don't You?!"""

Didn't Not NoHow have any Sun in the SunSet today  --  walked uptown to 
the PO, got a burger, walked home  --  Very Pleasant - Wore Light 
jacket.       Wearing light sweater now as typing.      If It does get 
Sunny and  *-Hot-*  just open two windows opposite each other and In 5 
Minutes Or Less the Whole House, No Matter How Large Nor Small, is 
Air-Conditioned.

SF Ideal for Working, temperature wise  --  Camelot  --  only rains in 
the Winter  --  now If Only we could get it to Only Rain from 4-PM til 
2-AM while working  --  Tanfastic!!!!!!!
