New York City, February 7, 2017

★★ The fog didn’t really hide the river, but it made the landscape continuously gray with the sky. The early rain, thin but constant, was of a piece with the whole. The daylight was too depleted for judging the difference between a black shirt and a navy one unless they were held up against one another. A full downpour lasted not quite long enough to interfere with going to lunch, then departed, leaving not a true change of situation but ongoing intermittent rain.
