darkness descending
parking lot wreathed in ice fog
locked cars still running
It was January. I had just arrived in Edmonton on sabbatical. This was the scene I encountered when I went to the local Safeway to stock up on food--a lot full of parked cars all with their engines all still running. It was minus 20, and the wind was blowing. I didn't know yet that if you turned the car engine off, you might not be able to start it later. I would learn.
Prompt was smoke/fog.
