http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/eyeofbakersfield/19563 People rag on Bakersfield for all sorts of things, not the least of which is this alleged heat in the summer and the hick town reputation. But as I was driving to work this morning, I realized what I like least about this town is the fog. As for the heat, that is why God invented swimming pools and rivers. When we get the tule fog it is more than a pain the drive in, and it chills you to the bone. So far we haven't had bad fog this year, but I'm sure it's coming. And school kids love the fog because it gets them out of school. That too is a pain for parents. But I'm saying if I wanted to dump on Bakersfield, I would dump the fog. Posted by Steve E.

I drove north on hwy 99 for&nbsp;6 years at midnight&nbsp; to go work the grave yard shift at a refinery in my late teens and early 20's..you get used to it. Just ride the white lines with your low beams on and watch for red lights in front of you. I think worrying about it prior too climbing in your car is more stressful than when your actually doing it..However I did miss my off ramp a time or two!! http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/eyeofbakersfield/19563/#c_181376 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/eyeofbakersfield/19563/#c_181376 I drove north on hwy 99 for&nbsp;6 years at midnight&nbsp; to go work the grave yard shift at a refinery in my late teens and early 20's..you get used to it.

It is when you can't tell where the fog ends and the air pollution begins that I feel like ragging on Bakersfield. The fog is refreshing ( yes, even as it chills ) but the air pollution has nothing going for it in my book. http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/eyeofbakersfield/19563/#c_181379 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/eyeofbakersfield/19563/#c_181379 Bring on the fog!
