I couldn t live out there in all that fog.
This comment, so often offered when someone found I was a resident of the Avenues used to puzzle me. I thought it wasn t foggy enough.
Sure it s often overcast in the Richmond and Sunset, but that isn t real fog. As opposed to the dull slate of overcast skies, fog is a sensual banquet. You can taste fog, feel the wet mist on your skin, see how its cottony skein erases the world halfway down the block. And fog, so silent, is always accompanied here by the doleful bellowing of foghorns.
As kids we knew the foghorn variations. We mimicked the cadences and dropped pitches to salute each other. When we got separated in our games in Mountain Lake Park, we found each other in the thickets using foghorn calls.
