Three Ticks to Midnight

Bright and still this afternoon on California’s north coast, but there’s still a chill in the air. This morning, a symbolic-metaphoric event based on figured-reality — the fabled, iconic Doomsday Clock, created and maintained by the Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists since 1947 was moved two minutes closer to the also-iconic-but-frightful…

Priorities

Hazy and chilly this late afternoon on California’s north coast — sunny and bright for most of the day, however, and supposedly rest of the week.

Terror Fries

Rain and dark this early Friday on California’s north coast — according to NWS prelim totals we’ve gotten more than an inch of the wetness already, and all less than 24 hours into this new weather front. Feels a little warmer than yesterday. This morning, however, an odd, sense of copy-cat crazy with a violent…
