Another blurb of Leroy and me on a hike along the Rascal Bike Path here in Merced, a city of a bit more than 80,000 about an hour north of Fresno on the 99, heatedly-blistering in California’s Central Valley. This morning, however, our walk was really nice — we’d started early, missed the up-driving temperatures…
In the mishmash of shit flowing through the airwaves nowadays, some words of wisdom from 17-year-old climate-change crusader, Greta Thunberg, who ignites the slender, but strong-adjoining thread between the coronavirus pandemic and the way-crisis in earth’s environment: Image found here. She speaks reality in an interview this morning via the Guardian: Greta Thunberg has said…
An open-ugly side of hiring nasty, dip-shits: A few details via The Hill this afternoon: “The president makes hiring decisions based on the fact that he likes to have countervailing viewpoints,” McEnany told reporters during a press briefing. McEnany said she spoke to Trump specifically about his decision to hire John Bolton, his former national…
Hot and breezy this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, and although 94-degrees right now, reportedly the last ‘cool‘ day for awhile as starting tomorrow triple digits for the next seven to 10 days — summer’s way-here. One more time, backyard blogging in progress and even in the shade it’s warm — but not…
Most-excellent view of positions in the chain and empathy (great h/t Miss Cellania): A little together in diversity as shown by this study on integration in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2002 (Washington Post this morning): ‘When the share of minorities grew in schools by 10 percentage points during the formative elementary and middle-school years, white…
Breezy and not all-that-warm this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley. Compared to yesterday (101-degrees), today has been a snap — it’s 77 right now and with cool gusts the ambiance is near-comfortable. Another irregular/regular post of Leroy and I strolling along Rascal Bike Path here in Merced. Although we walk every day, only…
Hot this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, a few tiny gusts of much-appreciated wind flows occasionally through allowing it to be manageable, but most-definitely on the ‘right‘ or ‘left of comfortable. Only 95-degrees right now, so it’s not that ‘bad.’ Backyard blogging again today — ‘backyard blogging‘ occurs when there’s a picture included…
Another near-lost most-ominous piece of particulars on the infestation of a “nightmare” — Dr. Anthony Fauci (CNN today): “Ebola was scary, but Ebola would never be easily transmitted,” Fauci said speaking at the BIO International Convention. “HIV, as important as it is, was drawn out and over an extended period of time,” added Fauci, who…
In the disarray in full display — from this afternoon’s Washington Post update on shit just happening so far this particular day was this real shitty note: ‘After video showed law enforcement in Minneapolis slashing the tires of protesters’ cars, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety acknowledged that State Patrol troopers at times “strategically deflated…
Breezy and nice this late-afternoon Friday in California’s Central Valley, though in the mid-80s the air is way-cooler than the last two/three days, which saw temps in triple digits close to sundown. And we’re getting a little overcast right now, so the cooling-off factor will most-likely heighten. Once again blogging in the backyard, but this…
