Clouds at our feet

Jan. 3, 6:57 a.m.

Sometimes the clouds reach down to us, other mornings they are at our feet. Technically it is fog that nestles in the East County valleys when conditions such as this morning’s are in place. Yet to come is a photo – can’t say when – of the entire valley cloaked in fog except for treetops poking through. That happens four or five times a year.

The sun rises relatively early in San Diego, just before 7 a.m. in January, because we are in the eastern range of the Pacific Standard Time zone. Compare this to West Texas, which is in the western extreme of the Central Standard Time zone, and where it is still dark at 7:30 a.m.

Mike/Karen,
The photos that have accompanied your last three postings are just spectacular.

The Write Outsource

About me

  • I am a journalist, educator, writing consultant and author, living in La Mesa, CA. I am a native of Texas, which shows in most of my work. I believe that anything is possible. When I was 35, I realized that the ideal life would be to have the imagination of a six-year-old, and the wisdom of a 65-year-old. I can still get to the imagination (as you can, simply by cutting away all the data you’ve learned from first grade on) and I now possess the wisdom of a 65-year-old. Being 65 can be unsettling – too late to plant trees and enjoy the shade – but the wisdom that comes with it is terrific compensation. I learned in 50th grade that, no matter how bad things get, there is always compensation. Now I am in the 60th grade, and I am learning things that I didn’t know in 59th. This September, I’ll start 61st grade, and learn things I don’t know now. To find what grade you’re in, start with the year you started 12th grade, and count up. My newest book is “Warbirds – How They Played the Game.” My new company is The Write Outsource, quality media writing on deadline, at www.writeoutsource.com. I am working on a book about the media, and I am about to revise my cookbook about home cooking on a tight budget, such as so many of us face at this time.
