Dark, gloomy overcast this early Thursday on California’s north coast. This rain will seemingly never end… Just one day away and like the weather, also darkly through the looking-glass — via The Hill yesterday: President-elect Donald Trump said in an interview published Wednesday that he doesn’t like to lie. “I don’t like to lie, no,” the…
As we’re pelted with cold, way-wet gusty winds here on the North Coast, the way-outside world is getting warmer, still. Just this morning at Scott Pruitt’s Senate confirmation hearing came this from T-Rump’s choice to the head the EPA: ‘“My personal opinion in immaterial.”‘ Near-about at the same time, the NASA and NOAA ‘jointly declared 2016…
Heavy rain and gusty winds this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — supposedly, we could get 2-inches of rainfall today. On Sunday, the Times of London published T-Rump’s first interview with a Brit newspaper — here a source-creation of way-high anxiety (HuffPost): “I don’t want it to be a disruption — I love the…
As we await the first of a series of heavy-wet weather starting maybe this afternoon, the driver of how our environment operates is getting hotter — global warming is supposed to be worldwide, right? The actual heater depends on location… Via the Guardian this morning: This type of question is answered in a very recent…
Red sky to the east this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, portending the heavy rain storms coming the next few days.

The study’s lead author, David Furman, consulting associate professor…
Bright and cold this early Monday on California’s north coast, the last day of pure-sunshine for at least a week or more — a series of three ‘atmospheric rivers’ are inbound, maybe starting tomorrow afternoon, and ‘a vigorous cold front‘ will accompany that first round Wednesday night. Rain make drought go away? Hopefully — Jay…
In a post from 2008 (titled ‘Media and the Brain‘), I quoted Seth MacFarlane, creator of “Family Guy,” and the “Ted” movies, amongst a whole lot of other shit, and an entertainment future: “I think what we’re seeing right now is a great cultural shift of how this country watches television. “Forty years ago, new…
Clear and bright this early Friday on California’s north coast — sunshine and cold temperatures, down to freezing before sunup. Accordingly, we should remain in similar conditions until Tuesday, or maybe not. Weathering unpredictably is a vital key nowadays — going beyond the horrid dumpster-fire of T-Rump’s shenanigans, new marijuana research indicates the weed needs…
Clear and sunshine this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we catch a break from the wet weather — supposedly ‘Mostly Sunny‘ through early next week. Surreal is a tip-top word to continue into 2017 — freakish, near-illusory fright of T-Rump’s press conference yesterday makes ‘surreal’ essential to understand this bizarre scene of an example…
Misty drizzle this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as the latest rainstorm winds down — maybe sunshine tomorrow. Big splash across the news-wires last night (BuzzFeed): A dossier making explosive — but unverified — allegations that the Russian government has been “cultivating, supporting and assisting” President-elect Donald Trump for years and gained compromising information…
