Again sunshine and wind this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast, and despite the breeze, fairly warm. Weather uniformity, especially in our summer season of daily-days of first-fog-then-sun and wind momentum makes for a nice stretch of outdoors time. Dog walk earlier at Little River Beach was toasty, and successful. We’re in a crisis clusterfuck,…
Sunshine and wind-blown late-afternoon Tuesday on California’s north coast. Another gorgeous day with the obligatory fog this morning — a dog run to Little River State Beach was also foggy, but way-enjoyable. (Discovered no dogs allowed at Little River, a never-before-noticed sign right at the entrance is way-obvious now, most-likely to continue, though). Right now…
Bright sunshine tempered by a brisk ocean breeze this early-evening Monday on California’s north coast, been a gorgeous day all around, despite some fog in the AM, and the air’s been fairly warm, for this area anyway. Dog run mid-day to Ma-le’l Dunes was also foggy, but way-sunny enough to be on the warmish side.…
Sunshine right now coupled with a cool, brisk ocean breeze this late-afternoon Friday here on California’s north coast. Earlier mostly cloudy with just a little sun, but who knows… Pablo Picasso’s ‘Harlequin Head,’ (found here), from 1971, sure does resemble President Obama, in a surreal form, of course, and excellent art for a post about an…
During the T-Rump’s gibberish-talk after his social media conference yesterday: In this current time-frame, we’re most-likely in what’s called a ‘watershed‘ event: ‘Watershed is a geographical term, originally. The area that drains into a single river is the watershed for that river. Watershed can also mean a ridge, like that formed by a chain of…
Fog and low clouds this early-evening Thursday on California’s north coast — dog run to Little River Beach in late morning was also misty-gray, but still rambunctious comfortable. When I checked WeatherUnderGround just a while ago, we were at 64-degrees up here, while Merced down in the Central Valley at the same time was 96-degrees…
Overcast with a bit of chill this Wednesday evening on California’s north coast, and despite that right now, it was overall a real gorgeous day. Ran the dogs at Little River State Beach this morning, sunshine broke the clouds, and warmed the dunes, a splendid time. State-of-silly scenario: ‘“Before our decision to run, my wife…
Off this frightening news: MIT geophysics professor Daniel Rothman released new data on Monday showing that carbon levels today could be fast approaching a tipping point threshold that could trigger extreme ocean acidification similar to the kind that contributed to the Permian–Triassic mass extinction that occurred about 250 million years ago. … But the most significant…
Sprinkling sunshine this late-afternoon Monday here on California’s north coast, beyond some patchy-fog here-and-there, our daytime weather should supposedly stay this way for awhile. Although the NWS does forecast a 20-percent chance of showers tomorrow, we’re in summer mode along the coast, hence, no one really knows for sure the real shit. First dog run…
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,…
