I would say most mornings here lately are thickly overcast if not foggy. Unless it's raining. In fog aspect, the summer here is a bit like in California. But the rain is what makes it different. A lot of rain, this weekend – yesterday was just sheets and sheets of it in the morning.
Despite not sleeping well last night, I woke up at dawn, which seems to be becoming my habit. I had a sore neck – sleeping on it wrong or something. There was fog out my window… but when I looked up, the sky was pale blue, and streaked with gold and pink. The forested hills are deep green, and there are shreds of mist across the peaks. It's like a postcard. Except for the three dumptrucks arrayed at the gas station in the foreground.
As you might guess from the title of this blog, however, I feel OK about dumptrucks – Korea's national vehicle.
