Fog

Berkeley, Saturday, November 7, 2025 1Ñ15 AM

Fog is formed when the air temperature reaches the dewpoint. It disappears when it is evaporated by the right temperature, which can be next day.

Dewpoint is the point of condesation? Describe dewpoint.

What else did I read or did in the last minutes:

I skimmed the news. But I do not recall specific news that I read in detail.

I made a counter of the government shutdown. We are on day 39. wow.

I skimmed that through NPR. But I also skimmed New York Times.

There were bloody chronicles in the East Bay Times. Unfortunately, there were two people dead by shooting near a gas station or so, in East Oakland.

OK. From skimming the news I got that Congress woman Nancy Pelosi might be retiring.

I reviewed the score of Deportivo Cuenca. They lost 2 against 0 against Macara. What a bad momentum in the last 7 games or so.

What happened?

I skimmed through the news of palyers that are doing well and players that are doing bad in Real Madrid under Alonso management. Interesting team. So many media coverage which might feel close to home. But I have never been in Madrid. So why I would care about that news. I was in Barcelona once. Still, probably same argument.

I replied a few messages. I read about Pedro Claver, and provided information.

I watched for brief minutes the history of Afro Ecuadorians.

I learned that between 1500s, probably even earlier, and 1700s ish, between 9 million to 12 million African slaves were sent to the Americas.

I need to learn more about the conquest of Europe by Africans. Is that the Muslim Spain?

I might need to learn more about their prolific work in infrastrcuture.

I ended up not taking a shower, not doing sports today. I might go for a brief walk. It is odd not to move that much on the day. I drove today and did a bit of grocery shopping, and a topic cream in a pharmacy.

A day ago I watched part of an interview to Max Verstappen and Bortoletto. It was conducted probably by Fitippaldi and other ex formula one driver, Piquet… Plus the podcast main host, who was not a F1 driver.

Other random videos showed that Leclerc was engaged.

I can say who is Leclerc but I do not know him.

I watched 5 minutes or so of an interview of Megyn Kelly to Tucker Carlson, of why he interviewed a controversial person. I also do not know anything about any of them.

A or two days ago, I watched part of The View interview to Andrew Cuomo and to Z. Mamdani.

The only relevant news, which I talked later, I meant relevant because i was talking about insurance, was how affected people in Palisides and Altadena, were removed from their house insurances a few months before the large fire from last January. Or something like that. They were asking for help to the government.

I was discussing with someone from Glendale about the need of a new delineation of the wildlife-urban interface map of fire risk. How? Would development happen again on top of the burned area? It has happened in other places, including Berkeley, after the fire print from 1923. Or in Oakland, upland or uptown, or something like that after the Tunnel fire from the 1980s or early 1990s. Including the place where Green Day front man Billie Armstrong built an expensive house.

I still have notes to check.

But I watched one, two, or three videos about rip currents to clarify a point.

I skimmed through a book written by the father of a Peruvian professor who I met 8 years ago. The search was to remember his name.

I forgot if I opened Facebook. probably no. At least there is not something that I recall.

I did open Instagram. I saw a pretty picture of someone who I met there and her friend, which I liked. That for accountability to say I was there. Then, there were videos of people falling on swimming pools. Other stuff, the point is why so much stupidity and distraction.

Why did I was so stupid to take all those random routes to still not write a page on my dissertation.

On one note it might help to be present on those online profile environments. I know the reason for the longer presence there this year, but it is so stupid, and terrible.

It is like walking on the street and taking all the possible flyers from vendors, or following them to take flyers. A walk for oscio or hobby is OK. But it is much better to walk with purpose. And if one takes those distractions then it is harmful in terms of time.

I did, though, a novena, and a brief rosary. I will walk a bit, and do some reading. It might take two hours.

But I answered my question regarding fog dissipation.

Oh, I look to the other question I saw.

Bye.
