Fog Over SF

It is not a secret that San Francisco is covered by fog often, esp. in summer. I love fog esp. when they are over Golden Gate Bridge or over the mountains. In a way, I have been "lucky" that I am not in the fog ALL the time as I live in the sunny side of the City. But in the past week or so, I have noticed more fog in the evening/night.

Like right now, the downtown is completed covered by the fog and I can not even see any tall buildings. Talking about tall buildings, there is this glass building that my pilot likes. It looks different during the daylight vs. nighttime. I have paid particilar interest to that building and it is also complete in fog now. Whenever there is fog, I think about my pilot, wondering how the weather looks like wherever he is...

Tomorrow is the 5th year anniversity for 9/11. This is the 1st time I am not in the air on 9/11 since past 4 years. I have made a point to fly on that day in the past either for business or for pleasure... But not this year. I will be thinking about all pilots though, and of course the world since 9/11. It has changed my life in a way no less singificant than the "event" on June 4th, 1989 in TianAnMen, Beijing when I was young student. Both "events" changed me as a person forever and to this date, my tears would come out whenever I am thinking about those two days...
