Humid-hot this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — the first day in a few weeks we didn’t see triple-digit temperatures. California has been cooking and we’re now forecast for mild weather for a while. Odd environment in southern California tonight, going from a dry-bake to flooding is a matter of hours. Amid news…
Already in triple digits this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — extremely hot outside in the sun right now, such as even a sojourn in the shade sucks. All record-breaking shit. Supposedly ‘cooler‘ today (forecast high of 110, so ‘cooler‘ is way-relative or non-existent) as compared to yesterday: Even in this, I beg…
In the downer toilet-flush of a Friday news dump, I’ve gone to do a bowl — pipe bowl, that is. Here are some cannabis/marijuana news bits to refresh the mind to what ails it outside of just about every fucking thing. Marijuana has been a part of my life for more than 48 years now…
Although it’s still fairly pleasant in the shade this near-noon Wednesday, the direct sunshine is hotter than shit here in California’s Central Valley as we encounter another ‘heat dome‘ driving temperatures to triple digits. Not only just us, but the entire SW US will have a boiling Labor Day weekend. And it will only get…
Cool and way-pleasant this near-noon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — well under triple digits as apparently we’re right now in a real-short lived (two days!) episode of crisp temperatures and comfortable ambiance when outside. However, hot shit hits the fan starting Wednesday (but probably tomorrow) with another deep-dive into a furnace-like heat wave…
Once again hot as dog shit this Thursday late afternoon here in California’s Central Valley — if the heat of dog shit can be measured — (it’s 104 degrees outside right now). Summer blisters the anvil (WTF!). In the midst of the scorcher, our state today made a nice gesture for our future weather (Vox):…
In the politics involved with climate change — the House should sign off on the Inflation Reduction Act tomorrow, with its $369bn allotted to reduce America’s greenhouse gas emissions and invest in renewable energy sources, and maybe Joe Biden could sign it into law before the weekend — the governmental movements in this calamity might…
Yes, indeed. It is a Big Fucking Deal. The value/impact comes not only from what’s in the Inflation Reduction Act itself but that the bill actually passed the Senate, despite the notorious Manchin-Sinema one-two franchise (both stayed true-Blue in this particular case) and repulsive Republicans continually acting the shits — again down to a 51-50…
Not an unpleasant late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley as temperatures are in the low 90s, and a gentle breeze even softens the air. Especially refreshing after a week’s worth of triple-digit heat — nice is way-better than shitty. Speaking also of maybe not so shitty, about this time back in DC the Senate…
Mid-summer’s nightmare as heat and fire together in a deadly, dangerous mix — in California, the McKinney fire near the Oregon border has burned 56,000 acres and killed four people so far, further north in Washington and Oregeon, a massive heat wave which killed more than a dozen recedes a bit up there to move…
