About a half dozen times every year we have a morning with fog or a mist that makes visibility a challenge. For some reason people driving on the interstate don’t want to slow down. Without fail, when one of those fools hits the patch of highway in front of the dam, they slam on the brakes because they can’t see and then they slide into the guardrail. All I can say is, they are lucky the state put guardrails up, because without the guardrails those vehicles would slide right off the road and end up in the river.
Fog is nature’s way of telling us to slow down, look a little harder at what is in front of you. Sometimes you let your mind take over in autopilot and you don’t take enough care. I welcome the fog and the mist – and I respect the message.
