Weird - today's the second day this week of crazy fog in Dubai (see Fog this morning).
Fog in Dubai

I wasn't going to take a photo and talk about it here, but it's sticking around longer than on the other day. On Wednesday by 7 am the fog was burning off at a pretty good rate, but today it's 9:30 and still very foggy.

So what exactly causes this fog? I'd assume it is the colder air reacting to the warmer water of the Gulf, but my science knowledge kind of trails off once I hit high school. Well, not as much as "trails off" as "completely blocked out". We had this overly mean science teacher and, quite honestly, the parts of my brain that cover Earth Science and Biology are pretty much completely trashed.

I try to remember the different types of mineral identification tests and I get something along the lines of "Your Brain Could Not Start Because of a Computer Disk Hardware Configuration Problem".

Seriously, I did a 10,000 word paper on "Leukemia" and I just had to Google "Leukemia" because I didn't know how to spell it.

For all I know it could be foggy because the God of Clouds is fighting with the Sun God ...

The latter idea makes sense.

FYI: THAT SCIENE TEACHER was the only request (not to be placed in any of his classes) that was made when your wife started LRHS. Crazy fog - it is really cold here.

I liked that guy, he was one of my favorites and he gave me a spectacular college recommendation. I may be the only one to ask him for a letter of recommendation in the 50+ years he was a teacher. Oh, and it has been foggy lately because of Hollywood. It is all a crazy promotion for that new movie.

But Tuan, that's not fog, that's THE MIST!

More on that this week ...
