El Niño — Daniel Swain explains: El Niño is the warm phase of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a semi-regular recurring cycle that transfers vast amounts of heat and momentum from the tropical Pacific to the global atmosphere. It is triggered every 3–7 years when the prevailing easterly trade winds weaken or reverse, allowing warm…
First post since the day before the start of T-Rump’s Iranian adventure. An image: My longtime blog favorite of all the T-Rump mugs. However, one must remember the word ‘favorite ‘ does not mean in any form or fashion, as in ‘my favorite movie’ or ‘my favorite song.’ It’s more of an anti-appreciation/like. Aptly titled,…
Sunshine and warmth this Thursday morning in California’s Central Valley — another fine fall day in the making. Weather we can appreciate, although the heat is man made. And despite the shit that is in the air squirted up by the T-Rump, the infamous Epstein files continue to generate asshole mouth sewage: Further via The…
Clear and a bit chilly this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — no matter how you look at it, in the morning we’ll face another Monday. If we survive the night, that is … And adding fuel to a shitlist of ugly shit from that stinky piece of shit, the T-Rump, the last…

A cooling down spell is scheduled to start tomorrow with temps expected under triple digits for a few days. Summer sizzles…
Just an afternoon’s glance at a small angle of our daily news cycle. First, Joe Biden’s team has a way with a red-hot poker burn as news the Dow Jones Industrial Average stock index touched 40,000 briefly for the first time today and Fox news hounds went to babbling positive: Next: Beyond wingnuts’ joy misplaced…
Once again throwing caution and good taste to the wind, I seek on a late-afternoon Saturday an indulgence as here’s another plea to please, please buy my novel, “Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona,” self-published two years ago by way of Outskirts Press. The Amazon/Kindle page is here. My author’s page at Outskirts Press is…
(Image found here.) In America 60 years ago today was a Friday. However, for me in the ninth grade, it was already Saturday. The assassination of JFK is a milestone in US history, and with us in the boomer-age crowd, the event was/is a kind of loud scream in the dark, tightly earmarked on all…
