A bit of ground fog and high overcast this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — and quiet, too. Weather, though, ain’t the same everywhere. Yesterday in Oklahoma: The preliminary rating of the tornado that hit Moore at 3:17 p.m. CT (4:17 p.m. ET) was put at EF-4, which means wind speeds from 166 to 200 mph, the National Weather Service said. Latest reports indicate at least 91 people have   Read More ...

Crystal clear and warm this Wednesday morning on California’s northern coast and the near-full moon dominates the western sky, creating a sun-up look albeit from the opposite direction. A full moon due tomorrow — called this month, a “pink” moon, which also will take place on the same night as a lunar eclipse, but will be seen mostly everywhere else except the US. A most-disturbing, pink-eye aspect of the Boston   Read More ...

Doc: Why do you let this cracker follow you around? Troy: He’s a good kid. Doc: He’s a wall-eyed cracker. Troy: He’s got no high school, man, he’s from a group home in Jackson – Doc: I don’t give a shit if he’s from Johannesburg. I don’t want to hear dune koon or sand nigger from him or anybody. Vig: Captain uses those terms. Troy: The point is, Conrad, ‘towel   Read More ...

Clear and a bit chilly here on California’s northern coast this early Tuesday, though, when that wind kicks up later in the morning, the environment will get downright cold. Yesterday was kind of a shit day, huh? Authorities still have no clue to who and why of that Boston marathon bombing — although in reports this morning from CBS News has countered police searched an apartment in the Boston suburb of   Read More ...

Raining and warm this Thursday morning along California’s northern coast — water and heat is the jeux de position of living on this spring-loaded, explosive planet right now. We’re in some pitiful dire straights, but laughing all the way to the end. And I’ve been living on the fault line for years: Men going thin on top may be more likely to have heart problems than their friends with a full   Read More ...

Fog-in planet this Wednesday morning up here along California’s north coast, and in extremes, mirrors the horrible, sad fixation of mankind with war. War and whores have been around a long time — which one is the oldest profession? Let’s see here: The shit in Syria, the doo-doo in Mali, the crap in Afghanistan, the re-bubbling cesspool on the Gaza strip, the never-ending poop-fest in Iraq, and that’s just to   Read More ...

Personally, I’m pretty-much sick and tired of the fuckin’ public. As manager of a liquor store, I’ve seen just about every kind of asshole, listened to way-too many deplorably-sad stories, and encountered a general mass of people who in recent times have become so delusional, and so fucked-completely-up, it’s really hard to fathom. And it ain’t just the characters ingesting cheap booze and cigarettes, this public includes educated, seemingly-intelligent readers of the   Read More ...

Middle of the week — ya-hoo! Unless it’s that Yahoo, and then it’s get thee to the office you lazy home workers! Clear and cold this morning — the moon slightly less-than-round — and the whole sky along California’s north coast has a full dose of white light outlying life in this land of the not-so-fast lane. After this Friday, the dark way up there could get even darker, much to our   Read More ...

Another Sunday morning, the last one of February, and the next few days will lead up to a new month but the same-old shit. On Friday, a legislative trigger will automatically snap back, force the hammer down and pop a cap at who/whatever’s in the vicinity – unfortunately, just about all regular Americans will catch at least a bit of shell fragment, a ricochet maybe, pieces striking mostly in the neck area.   Read More ...
