Clear and really, really cold this early Thursday on California’s north coast, and yesterday we had some record low temperatures, but still not as chilly as other parts of the Western US. For instance, Texas had one drastic weather swing: Wednesday’s official high in Dallas was 80. Thursday night brings freezing rain, sleet and a…
Cold and bright sunshine this mid-week afternoon on California’s north coast — and it’s supposed to really get cold around here tonight. Winter’s knocking hard, and I don’t want to let him in. Kicking in the news cycle this PM seems to be another ditty via Eddie Snowden — and it’s a nasty one: The Washington…
Clear and really-cold this early Wednesday here on California’s north coast with the air getting colder the closer to dawn. Away from the ocean and into the interior, temperatures could drop into the single digits, but even with us on the beach, it’s going to be a record-setting cold snap. However, since I leave for work…

And it’s a bit on the chilled-side, too. So the effect/affect is not altogether pleasant. In the news this PM, an…
Ground fog with a drizzling rain this way-early Monday on California’s north coast, and the end to round one of a not-so-fabulous holiday season. This year might be a crazy yuletide. Despite the expansion of Black Friday, and the swell of people in stores, the end result wasn’t so hot: Overall spending was expected to…
(Illustration: A little Iraqi girl contemplates horror, Basra, Iraq, March 30, 2003, found here). Pushed further and further back in current history, the nightmare that’s Iraq is way-off the anywhere-near mainstream news cycle these days — a mention, maybe, if the death toll of some bomb blast is more-than-normally excessive. Amongst a shitload of frustrations,…
