At the bottom of our street the neighbourhood changes. The houses are bigger and more modern than immediately around our house. Their lots are larger. And the houses are set way back off the road. Walk a few steps and it's like a different town.

This was the view down there a few minutes ago in the fog.

A friend of mine calls this "generic weather" -- a few degrees above freezing, socked in with fog and a light drizzle falling. It's "generic" because we can have it almost any day of the year.
