It was dark and as I headed out of the driveway I plunged headlong into a fog that almost completely prohibited my visibility. Now, this is Tillamook and we’re not talking major thoroughfares here, so I proceeded. I could see just a few feet ahead of the car which made driving somewhat terrifying (that, and, Snort City is really scary in the dark when totally encased in fog). As I drove I had a few thoughts.
