As BrilliantEditor and I drove home tonight, we passed through thick fog and the kind of sprinkly rain that makes it quite difficult to see out of the windows. BE was driving. I asked how he was feeling. He said, "Weird."
I never quite know which direction "weird" is going to go. Upon asking, it became clear that there were circumstances that were contributing, but much of the weirdness was the fog. I thought, "Huh. How do you like that? It's a pathetic fallacy, as I learned in high school. The weather reflects what's going on around people."
Fog suggests mystery and secrets and confusion and subterfuge. Apparently BrilliantEditor was the star of tonight's show. A few foggy thoughts, a lot of foggy weather.
