Clear and chilly this early Thursday on California’s north coast — a light, moist vapor apparently seems to be thinly to the east, making an otherwise explosive sunrise a bit on the muted side, hazy and undefined. According to the weather folks, no rain on the horizon until the middle of next week, and pretty…
Near-crystal clear this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, the bright-white moon, now just a sliver of a fingernail, hangs mid-way up in the brightening eastern sky. And cold, too, earlier just a few degrees above freezing — supposedly sunshine through next week, maybe a high of 70 tomorrow. Today, though, is heart-stopping Tax Day.…
After a most-excellent soaking during the night, the rain has ceased and most of the clouds have fluttered eastward, as the early light this Tuesday comes to California’s north coast — hopefully, ‘mostly sunny’ for the rest of the day. I’ve some errands to run this morning, via two feet, and maybe the clouds will…
Overcast with some hazy sunshine this afternoon on California’s north coast, but the light is fading, maybe indicating rain a-coming. Our pot and our pets; today via Quartz: With marijuana flourishing into a big business in the US, a new segment of the market catering to aging and ailing pets has been growing under the…
Thick and gray, layered-looking clouds cloak my little view along California’s north coast this early Monday — creates a gray, unimaginative wet perspective. Indeed, the NWS says maybe some light drizzle later today, and rain maybe tonight, but all rests on the word, ‘maybe,’ as weather is not way-totally predictable, especially this close to the…

Meanwhile, back far to the east, an aging sun made some noise, too — Hillary Clinton in the techno-granny guise of the tweet: “I’m running for president. Everyday Americans need a champion,…
Hazy sunshine this afternoon, and windy, too, here on California’s north coast — there’s also a bit nip in the breeze. And off our shores, a changing-warming environment has also led to the arrival of marine life seeking cooler waters — most recent discovery, the Janthina janthina, the common purple snail. Apparently part of an…
A thick, rolled cloud layer hangs to the east this early Friday on California’s north coast, dulling the light into a gray haze with a decent-chance of some sprinkles maybe to complete the picture. The NWS says ‘mostly sunny’ expected today, but we’ll wait and see. Meanwhile, out in America’s flat heartland, a picture with…
Hazy-bright sunshine the early Thursday on California’s north coast — supposedly more rain due tomorrow evening, and maybe on into the weekend. Mostly light drizzle expected, though, the NWS calling for a ‘slight chance’ of rain Friday night. No atmospheric river to be flowing forth. Apparently, the only thing flowing forth is warmth — figures…
Spied this article last weekend from Psychology Today, which explained somewhat the perpetual narrative in my own brain, and current, actual state of my mental state — keynote: One of the original pieces of research on the subject of mind wandering was completed by psychologists Matthew A. Killingsworth and Daniel T. Gilbert of Harvard University,…
