I apologize for having a Wuss-out Wednesday after my rather silly post on Monday. Um, and Sunday. Oh, I’m not going back and looking at how many lame posts I’ve had recently; the fact is today I haven’t written anything yet and I don’t have much to write about.
I drove through a lovely thick fog on my way to work today and thought I would write about that. We’ve had a lot of fog recently. I like fog. It is usually thicker in Ilion (where I work) than it is in Herkimer (where I live). This morning as I went out to my vehicle, I saw that the fog was pretty thick in Herkimer. I thought, “Awesome! It’ll be really thick in Ilion.”
Steven and I got lost in the fog on Higby Road once, but that is a big hill out in the country. I felt it was doubtful that I would get lost on my eight-minute commute to work. I drove at a careful speed (slower, but not too slow), looking around. The irony was not lost on me that I was enjoying looking at what I was not able to see. I took extra care as I went out German Street by the cemetery. I’ve often seen deer in that area. I would not care to hit a deer.
It was not too hard to see even once I got to Ilion. Walking from my vehicle to my place of employment, I continued to enjoy looking around, where I usually see buildings but this morning could only see streetlights.
Then I was at work, the sun came up, and the fog was over. I thought, “Huh. That wasn’t such a much.” So I didn’t write a blog post about it. And now I just did.
Sufficiently wussy, I trust.

I wondered where you live. I grew up in Ilion and worked in Herkimer right after high school (Woolworth’s making bows for Christmas wrap among other things. I still can’t remember Higby – must have had another name 60 years ago or my memory is as foggy as your weather.
My geography is foggy at best. Still, I’m pretty sure it was Higby Road I was on. Perhaps it was called something else once. I saw the Woolworth’s store, but I believe it was an auto parts store when I first moved here. It is, alas, empty now. Hard times in Herkimer, but as Mohawk Valley Girl, I try to stay upbeat. Thanks for commenting.
Nothing stays the same anywhere. You’re probably right about Higby – the map shows it as a main thoroughfare. It was probably renamed years ago.
