I thought about replacing the calendar yesterday, but realized I hadn't bought one for 2026 yet. So I decided to go out to the bookstore and pick one up this morning. I went outside about 7:00 to due some weeding. (We've had warm weather, and plenty of rain lately, including about half an inch yesterday.) It was damp out but nothing you wouldn't expect the morning after a rain here. About 8:30 I got in the car to go to the store, and backing the car out of the garage I noticed it was misty on my street. That doesn't happen very often here. But I pulled out and went the short distance to the first intersection, still in the subdivision, and looked down hill. There was full blown I-can't-see-a-thing-fog just a few feet away. In the twenty odd years I've lived in AZ I've never seen that in my neighborhood before. Doesn't mean it hasn't happened. On the news, I heard of fog in the lower parts of Phoenix when I was there, but wasn't close enough to experience it. I don't live in the lower part of Tucson, but with all the rain yesterday, the air must have been really saturated between here and the mountains not far to the north. It's downhill most of the way. So that's where the fog was. When I got to the bookstore I could look back, and the dense cloud looked like it was slowly rising up the mountain itself. If I'd lived on the next street downhill, I certainly would have waited to go till the fog was gone
