The Fog


One of my favorite things about San Francisco is the fog. Some people find it dreary and depressing, but I think it’s comforting and mysterious.


I love how the fog slowly creeps into the bay through the Golden Gate Bridge on a sunny day. In a matter of minutes it can blanket the city with its chilly breeze.


And there's something so soothing about the fog horns. It's like listening to a lullaby.


It rarely gets hot in San Francisco, but when it does, you always know nature’s air conditioning will soon return to cool you off.

    Hi Mariam,

    I'm writing from StoryCorps, America's largest nonprofit national oral history project. I thought you and your readers would be interested in listening to StoryCorps' latest story to broadcast on NPR this morning. Ironworkers Kerry Davis and Ken Hopper, who have been working together for 25 years, talk about rescuing suicide jumpers on the Golden Gate Bridge. You can take a listen here: http://www.storycorps.org/listen/stories/kenny-hopper-and-kerry-davis.

    StoryCorps is an independent nonprofit project whose mission is to honor and celebrate one another's lives through listening. Since 2003, tens of thousands of people from across the country have interviewed family and friends through StoryCorps. Each conversation is recorded on a free CD to take home and share and is also archived for generations to come at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. Millions listen to the award-winning broadcasts on public radio and the Internet. Select stories have also been published in the New York Times bestselling book, Listening Is an Act of Love.

    I hope you take the time to listen and share.

    Thanks,
    Amber Leigh
