12/10/2003: "Fog horns"
music: Nonemood: Contemplative .... relaxed
Do you live near the coast? Does the sound of a fog horn drive you insane or does it somehow make you feel happy and content knowing you are inside and safe ....??
I haven't been able to see the sea today ... the fog horn has been blasting away all day. For some reason, I like the sound of the horn .... In my imagination its bringing people in safely from the sea.
Toot .... toot .... toot .... toot (then a wait of approx 30 seconds)
Did you know that the sound of a foghorn can provide sailors with their location around the coast? Each port has a different sequence of toots .... A great invention, before radar!
