One of the guys here at work has started a word of the day mailing list and today;s word was þoka, and it was very foggy this morning.

It was interesting biking down into the fog. Hand to watch the cross streets for traffic.

The weekend was a quiet one for me, (and other blogs I watch) it must have been the þoka dampening everyone's energy.

ooo! is the pronunciation phonetic? if it is that þ symbol should sound like english ´f´or ´ph´right? and ð is the beginning of ´the´? sooooo interesting! how do you say 'I don't know?'
