Next Friday — the snap-cut heard all around DC. Despite Village headmaster Bob Woodward’s assertion President Obama “owns” the up-coming sequester, Republicans are the source. Obama called ’em out in his speech this morning: “Are Republicans in Congress really willing to let these cuts fall on our kids’ schools and mental health care just to protect…
Clear and cold again this Friday morning and the big winter storm expected from earlier this week hasn’t panned out as bad as originally figured. Of course, nothing like the horror show now engulfing middle America — Wichita, Kansas, hit with a record 14-inches of snow, and more to come. Across the US this morning, there’s…
Overcast, dark and gloomy this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, but not as cold as yesterday. No matter our weather, it ain’t nothing like the big storm getting ready to blanket Middle America with more than a foot of snow, and along with that, added into the mix will be lightning and sleet showers — whoa!…
(Illustration found here). Clear and cold this early Wednesday morning on California’s north coast and although we experienced hail, snow flurries and rain yesterday morning, the sun came out later on and life was nice. Supposedly in the midst of a big winter storm right now, here along the Pacific rim weather can be strange…
Rainy and cold this early Tuesday on California’s north coast and we’re forecast to get thunderstorms later today — the golden days appear to be over for awhile. Weather, however, never sits still. Seemingly, time is of the essence this morning as the chore of surfing the news has left me kind of empty to…
High overcast this early Monday morning on California’s north coast with no stars and a chilly wind. The last few days have been near-gorgeous, but we’re expecting a fairly-good size storm for Tuesday or Wednesday and sunshine might be gone awhile. Oil and water don’t mix, and so should it be with climate change as…
“I think things have gotten so bad inside Iraq from the standpoint of the Iraqi people, my belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.” — Dick Cheney, ‘Meet The Press,’ March 16, 2003 Nowadays, the Iraqi people really, really don’t like their shit of a life. Near absent from any USÂ news coverage,…
Although right now California’s north coast is engulfed in thick fog, most times of darkness here lately have been near-crystal clear, hence a couple of near-locals had the opportunity to spy some fascinating remnants off Friday night’s meteor pop seen most-brightly over the Bay Area. Via probably the best news source hereabouts, The Lost Coast…
Thick fog this Saturday morning here on California’s northern coast — too dense to see anything happening skyward. Nuts — in all the noted excitement yesterday on a close-call asteroid and the exploding, dramatic meteorite in Russia, folks just south of me also picked up some space debris last night. First, via USAToday: A bright…
Clear and a bit chilly this early Friday morning along California’s northern coast and a good wrap-on-the-knuckles to start the weekend. We gotta get through this day first — our little, blue planet will get a close fly-by this afternoon by a 150-foot piece of space rock, and although scientific brainiacs say we’re safe, the Russians…
