W — Peter Principled Set of ‘Unintended Consequences’
March 19, 2015High overcast with sunshine this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast, though, a porous/moist gray blanket hanging just in sight west of my apartment indicates most-likely heavy shoreline fog closer to the ocean. Rain still…
