Dense-damp fog again this early Monday on California’s north coast, and although supposedly temperatures are warmer inland, we along the shoreline keep it gray — until the afternoon, then way-nice. Beyond bombers and T-Rump, the lede this morning in of all places, Forbes: “Dude, where’s my fat?” Attention, daily marijuana users: according to a recently…
Heavy-deep fog this early Friday on California’s north coast, and damp, too, with a chill announcing an approaching seasonal-change. Warm inland, though, as the weather continues… Also relating to a persistence of environment is our drought — a ghastly new study shows the dry is here for the way-long haul with emission levels fueling the…
Overcast in a thick-gray mist this early Thursday on California’s north coast, and although the NWS forecasts ‘Mostly Sunny‘ for today, we’re way-most-likely still hours away from sunshine. In an odd year for way-many reasons, this presidential campaign tops even all the weird, and has become more a black hole of fright than anything else — yet…
Sunshine and clearing skies this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — the NWS reports a surface low pressure system has moved offshore, bringing southerly winds into the area for a few days, supposedly creating some nice weather. As if the last few weeks haven’t been nice… Bright, too, are lights shining on T-Rump’s ass, exposing…
How can the GOP spin this — ‘Thanks, Obama!’ Via Quartz this morning: In 2015, the median household earned $56,500, adjusted for inflation, according to the US Census Bureau (pdf). In real terms, that’s equal to a $2,800 rise compared with 2014’s median household income—growth of more than 5 percent. That 5-percent jump is the…
Thick fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, maybe the most-dense in awhile. Meanwhile, the plot continues — from Climate Central yesterday: ‘In what has become a common refrain this year, last month ranked as the hottest August on record, according to NASA data released Monday. Not only that, but the month tied July as…
Fog and a chilled air this early Monday on California’s north coast, and although the near-interior is under a NWS ‘Fire Weather Warning,’ we’ll most-likely bask in another nice day, starting closer to the noon hour. This morning in recognition of public-health issues, arising maybe off Hillary Clinton’s supposed ‘medical problems‘ yesterday, an item that…
Reflective glimpse back 15 years ago, and sort of unknowingly encapsulates our current state of affairs: “The president was in a great mood. He had that George W. Bush strut that morning.” –Andy Card, chief of staff Also an indicative response to Sept. 11, 2001, was the widely-spoofed, idiot-influenced Homeland Security Advisory System coming online…
Today 15 years ago was a Monday. Unemployed at the time and living in San Luis Obispo, down on California’s Central Coast — left the local newspaper in a downsizing/single-option dispute-episode three months earlier — and was still without a job (I re-joined that same newspaper three months later) and so usually drove my oldest…
Bright sunshine again this early Friday on California’s north coast as we get more-warm than usual for the next few days.
