Tomorrow will be the 12th anniversary of the Great Recession’s fiscal origin moment: ‘On June 22, 2007, Bear Stearns pledged a collateralized loan of up to $3.2 billion to “bail out” one of its funds, the Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Fund, while negotiating with other banks to loan money against collateral to another fund,…
Bright sunshine and a cool breeze this early-evening Tuesday on California’s north coast — another good-as-it-gets episode. According to the Northern California Weather Blog, posted yesterday, there’s another High pressure system along the shoreline, making temperatures 5-to-10-degrees above normal, though, gusty north winds created a cooler feel to the air. Little River Beach with the…
Bright late-afternoon/early-evening Monday here on California’s north coast, closing another gorgeous episode of sunshine and warmth, but not too warm. Good dog run this morning at Little River State Beach — fog bound at first, then burn-off near-perfectly for a nice time. An opportunity to witness the T-Rump as an asshole douche in just a…
Overcast-gray this Friday evening with occasional faded-yellow sunlight shifting through — back to normal here on California’s north coast. This Sunday four years ago — June 16, 2015 — the T-Rump took that infamous, caricature-like, narcissistic escalator ride in Trump Tower, down he glided/slithered into shameful history. The artwork, ‘Basic Shapes,‘ by caricaturist/illustrator Chong Jit…
Darkly overcast to the east this Wednesday evening on California’s north coast, but sunshine still from over the ocean — near the end of another record-breaking day, as temperatures soared all over the area, triple digits inland, in the 80s along the shoreline. Little River Beach with the dogs was near-about-almost too hot… Off-weather question…
Sunshine and hot this early-evening Tuesday here on California’s north coast, balmy it be — the NWS reports 82-degrees right now in Arcata, and will supposedly stay way-warm until dark. Although not really what you’d call ‘hot,’ but for us coast people, it’s ‘sweltering.’ Yesterday from the Northern California Weather Blog: A high pressure ridge…
Still bright and warm this early Monday evening here on California’s north coast, a gorgeous sunshine day with a summer’s heat. Supposedly, 74-degrees forecast tomorrow for Arcata, triple-digits interior temps, and fairly-much the same through the rest of this week. Dog run to Little River Beach was hot… Also today in faraway DC, the US…
Sunny-bright and windy this early-evening Thursday here on California’s north coast, another good-as-it-gets day, with an added benefit of some sweeping sea breezes. Artwork, Pablo Picasso’s ‘Agonizing Horse’ (found here), is a bite into the horror of nationalism, an optimistic prediction of its downfall. In sequence, today marks 75 years since the D-Day invasion, June…
Sunny and windy this early-evening Wednesday here on California’s north coast — overhead all day were big pieces of fluffy clouds pacing across the sky, the movement creating dramatic, on-and-off different shades of dark to the air. I sat outside for awhile in early afternoon — terrific in a wind-break, pretty warm. too. Dog run…
Sunshine with near-cloudless skies this late-afternoon Monday on California’s north coast, and warm, too — the comfortable heat mainly due to very little wind flow. In the morning all haggard-inducing overcast as been the norm for days and days, but a dog run just before noon at Little River Beach found a wonderful burning-off effect,…
