Avez-vous souvant le brouillard en hiver?

Yes, apparently they do.  There is no rain today - so far; and the blue sky, sun, and snow on the Dent as I drove on the autoroute to work was terrific view.  However, by the time I had arrived at work, the fog had obscured the more distant mountains; and I have to look our the men's room window to see the Dent.  Yesterday and today will end up being long days at work; but at least the drive home is not too bad when there is no rain.  Apparently French traffic death rates are quite high - of course, that should be no surprise to me having witnessed some of the driving.  We plan to stay close to home this weekend due to inclement weather; and are busy making plans to go to Dusseldorf for a couple of days on the 18th.  The Weinachtsmarkt (Christmas market) there is world famous; so I can hardly wait to show it to Nancy.  Our room reservation ended up being on a cruise boat in the harbor - all of the hotel rooms are long since booked for Medica - the world's largest medical trade show.
