Journal: 1/14/06

A dense fog slowly settled down across southern Connecticut yesterday. It was slightly hazy and damp in the morning, and grew more so as the day progressed. The grounds of the school seemed more shadowy and strange with each hour. Walking from building to building, I felt like I was part of a mystery story. I drove up to Westfarms Mall in the afternoon (to get an iPod), and that’s when I really noticed the fog. It had grown very thick, so much so that the headlights of other cars seemed to be advancing toward me out of an ominous cloud. I drove cautiously, guiding the car along the slick roads and squinting into the foggy darkness ahead. It was worth it, though, because I found the Apple store, purchased the iPod, and drove home anticipating many hours of happy listening. Interestingly, I barely noticed the fog on the return trip.
