It was in London that it was worse; I think it's because all the grime and dust of the city gets gaught up in it. That's why it was yellow as well. The old-fashioned pea-soupers smelled terrible, I can remember my parents telling me. And of course, in Dickens's day, you could add to it the foul odour from the Thames, but nowadays the river is pretty clean.Ansley Vaughanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612940001065210915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6058477014639617228.post-68561507855864534352006-12-29T22:31:00.000-08:002006-12-29T22:31:00.000-08:00LOL Emily.

So thick that when the lot of us crazy 11 year olds went outside into the fog, we had to hold hands because we couldn't see each other at all despite the lone streetlight a mere twenty-five yards away.<br /><br />MarciMarci Baunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01850775917897362922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6058477014639617228.post-27634986744961180482006-12-29T19:17:00.000-08:002006-12-29T19:17:00.000-08:00"The Fog of My Youth" is SO a book title.

LOL Then again, the smog has worsened over the past several years, so there tends to be a smog smell. What's that? I can't really describe other than chemical-ly. It's not very pleasant, and certainly not the fog of my youth. But if you travel out to the country, this disappears a bit more.<br /><br />KitKit Wyldehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431719780675494597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6058477014639617228.post-64642131326894491742006-12-28T19:45:00.000-08:002006-12-28T19:45:00.000-08:00I had no idea fog brought a smell with it!

I live in the San Joaquin Valley in California. Although the fog has not been as bad this year as some years, it's still pretty hazardous to drive in. One year, we had to pull off the road at the last minute as someone didn't see the center line and was driving on our side. Luckily, we were doing about 15-20 mph at the time, and the other car wasn't going much faster. It could have been ugly.<br /><br />KitKit Wyldehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431719780675494597noreply@blogger.com
