Good Sunday Morning, fellow Mossberg owners.
It virtually never snows here but this is the time of year when, just before sunrise, we get The Dreaded Tule fog.
The ground is still moist and warm, but the air gets cold early in the morning, and The Dreaded Tule Fog raises up out of the ground, thick and white.
So far there has not been a bad enough fog to delay school, but when it gets really bad the school buses run an hour or two hours later.
I usually rode a motorcycle to work for about 12 out of 45 years, and the fog was always my bane.
When I was commuting down Country Roads, from Fresno to Fowler on a motorcycle at 6 a.m., I remember the fog sometimes being so bad you could not see the lines on the road.
People would come up behind you too fast in the fog, driving faster than they could actually see to stop if they had to. I often found myself suddenly riding on the shoulder of the road.
I don't miss commuting to work and I certainly don't miss this Tule fog!
But I would like to go out and ride the motorcycle today. I just think I should avoid it until my second eye surgery next week. Driving the truck with one eye closed is difficult enough but I don't think I want to bother trying to ride the motorcycle with just one eye.
I have enough trouble with depth perception as it is. Hopefully a lot of that will clear up after the second eye surgery.
I am supposed to stay away from any wind & blowing dust, so I will probably just hang out today in the Sacred American Mancave and putter around on various little projects.
