Hi Lance!
Just yesterday, I subscribed to Kristin's RSS feed. I love her blog!
So, I got my first RSS feed today, and lookie, lookie who's here, YOU! One of my favorite bloggers! How cool is that? (Kristin, great job here!)

Anyhoo, I loved your story about the fog. Having recently relocated to San Francisco, the fog is new to me. So, part of my answer to your question is that #1 I'm connected to natural occurrences of water (ocean, rivers, streams, etc.) but lately, I've grown a connection to the fog. 

This is quite an unlikely feeling, since the first 1/2 dozen months, I HATED it. I mean, really, really disliked the shroud and relentlessness of it. But lately, it has become something different. Like  a blanket wrapping me in comfort. It is mysterious. It is alive. It is, well, simply beautiful.

Thanks for you story here today, Lance. Cheers to you.
