A surf through the foul scent of the news this morning reveals a machete can be gruesome and the fabled sequester Read More ...
Clear with a slightly-chilled breeze this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast as the work week grinds onward, and maybe downward.

In the midst of all the shit, Grist in a video report had a most telling headline: “Watching a tornado victim Read More ...
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.

Foggy and overcast this way-too-early Monday with another work week staring me straight in the face — the only consolation is it will be Friday again before anyone really notices.

A gentle spring rain this morning on California’s north coast, quiet and soft like a baby’s bottom — warm, too, like a full diaper. If this was the weekend, good sleeping weather. But it’s only Thursday and it’s just wet.

Patchy cloud cover this early Wednesday allows a few twinkling stars to peek through and later maybe the sun will arise like thunder — up here on California’s north coast, however, the shine will most-likely be only a squeaky peek. The weather’s been quiet around these parts lately, but that don’t mean it ain’t screaming somewhere. In the flow of the powerful news cycle these days concerns ‘scandal,’ which means Read More ...
Clear and warm this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — the low-roar sound of the peaceful Pacific seems to come from afar, though, the ocean is only a mile or two away. Noise depends on the air. And in DC, the din has become nearly oppressive. President Obama has most-likely shit in his mess kit, even if he doesn’t know it yet.
