Early-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley. Warm, but not bad with a gentle, cool breeze which keeps the air pleasant and comfortable. We can feel the summer coming, though. Forecast for the next 90 days or so plays out first warmer (today), hot (next week) and then hotter (next month). No shock. Also shouldn’t…
In the midst of shit falling everywhere, one of my more-favorite songs the last year or so: And maybe, too, from one of my all-time great metaphysical sounds: And a shine… ‘Show me where to look…’ (Illustration: M.C. Escher’s ‘Tower of Babel,’ found here).
Another buzz in California’s Central Valley this Wednesday afternoon, and once again a-walking Leroy along a portion of the Rascal Bike Path here in Merced, located in that self-same valley. Also another example of Leroy not really wanting to walk, especially maybe too early in the morning, but off we went anyway for a short…
A sunny and breezy early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Big, white clouds, too, and a cool-ish temperature (70-degrees right now) and an unfamiliar feel to the air — we had some fairly-heavy hail yesterday afternoon, and looked like rain this morning. Blogging outside again with a pix of the scene. I’m retired, so…
Overcast and damp this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley. Humid, too, after raining on-and-off nearly all day. Better than the heat and we need the rain. Major news of the day, so far, comes of course from the T-Rump — per The Washington Post this evening: President Trump announced Monday that he is…
Cloudy, humid and a bit of sprinkles this early-evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley. Another end to a two-day event, which not too long ago was called the ‘weekend,’ but now a week is measured just by days not seeming to end. Idiotic, insane character — the T-Rump tweeted this last night: Today, Bill…
Hot and still Saturday here in California’s Central Valley. Another adventure of walking my daughter’s dog, Leroy, along a small portion of the Rascal Bike Path here in Merced, which during the hike this morning was seemingly way-cooler and a bit overcast. An ambiance easily burned away upon our return leg, always quicker, and hotter.…
Late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley. Sunny and a bit blustery right now, though, overcast and chilly for most of this morning. A lot of cloud cover lately, which keeps the heat down. And outside, beyond the apartment walls America has become some type institution. In the midst of a crippling, deadly pandemic, comes…
Overcast and breezy this late-afternoon Wednesday in California’s Central Valley. Never got real hot today, not bad weather-wise and pleasant. Did go shopping this morning, which is always a treat. Most people wore masks, and the store carried plenty of shoppers, but they all seemed to carry-on in a freakish ‘normal‘ sort of way and…
Occasional sunshine near mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Cloudy most of the morning, earlier even looked like rain for awhile, but appears the afternoon will sunny and warm, as normal. Weather-wise, of course, not much normal about the nowadays. Top-of-the-news today was in the US Senate where occurred a medical/scientific push-back of the…
