our noses are in the corner off everything we look at but our brains have learned to ignore it. Same with whatever conflicts with our opinions and values.

Go through the winepress where life's grapes are crushed, struggle to get at the expression you need, and a time will come when that expression will be the very wine of strength to another. If instead you say, “I’m not going to struggle to express this truth for myself; I’ll borrow what I say,” the expression will be not only of no use to you but of no use to anyone. Try to restate to yourself what you implicitly feel to be the truth, and you will have a chance to pass it on to someone else through you.
Always make a practice of challenging your mind to think out what it accepts easily. Our position is not truly ours until we make it ours by struggling, examining, and understanding. The author who benefits you isn’t the one who tells you something you didn’t know before; it’s the one who gives expression to the truth that has been struggling for utterance inside you.

Brazil’s former president was temporarily released from prison for a second operation to rid him of persistent hiccups.
And:
In Ghana, a self-declared prophet, who solicited money from his followers to build arks ahead of what he said would be a Christmas Day rapture, announced that the apocalypse had been postponed and used the donations to instead purchase a Mercedes.

Fun fact with respect to the quietness of fog. Sound actually travels slightly faster in humid air, but fog is fundamentally different as the H2O in fog is actually still tiny liquid drops, while in humid air it is gaseous. The tiny liquid drops disperse and absorb sound. Snow has a similar effect, but it is because snow is solid (ice crystals) with a ton of air trapped around and in it, which also absorbs sound. I love the quiet. . . .

To say nothing about cars
The California Highway Patrol confirms 59 vehicles were involved in the crash.

Investigators believe fog is a factor and estimate there was between 100 to 200 feet of visibility when the crashes happened.0 -
People tend to drive faster in the fog. Something to do with less visual feedback of speed.

...between 100 to 200 feet of visibility...
I wonder how fast the traffic was moving.
Under perfect circumstances, a passenger vehicle traveling at 55 miles per hour requires a minimum of approximately 419 feet to come to a full stop. This figure represents the shortest distance achievable under ideal conditions, which include a dry, flat road surface, good tires, and an alert driver. This distance is derived from standardized physics formulas used by safety organizations to establish minimum safety parameters. For perspective, 419 feet is longer than a standard American football field, including both end zones. This minimum number is a theoretical benchmark, representing a best-case scenario rarely replicated in day-to-day driving."

Nobody remembers it because if they're old enough to remember that far back, they don't remember anything else.
