Looking like maybe some rain this Friday evening here in California’s Central Valley, it’s warmed-up a bit and the air feels moist, but we’ll wait and see. Meanwhile, life has become a lengthy disaster movie. Coronavirus is like a whatever-the-fuck that won’t go away. And when it does appear to be slowly, possibly, going away,…
The entire T-Rump operation is one of lying and double-blabber (Raw Story): Story at Mediaite this evening: During Wednesday’s White House press briefing, Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany was confronted over comments she made weeks ago downplaying the threat of the coronavirus to the United States. In late February, McEnany spoke with Trish Regan — a…

Just when shit is getting shittier with the T-Rump’s impeachment trial and all, and rolling all the shit into up clump of asshole ugly, now the timer’s reset — from NPR this evening: Two years after moving the metaphorical minute hand of its Doomsday Clock to within two minutes of midnight —…
In a new location, seemingly in a new life. I’ve moved to Merced, down in California’s San Joaquin Valley and in with a daughter who’s working on her PHD at UC Merced. A short, but complicated narrative found me here, a day’s drive south from the North Coast. One never knows what can happen next.…

Sunshine with near-cloudless skies this late-afternoon Monday on California’s north coast, and warm, too — the comfortable heat mainly due to very little wind flow. In the morning all haggard-inducing overcast as been the norm for days and days, but a dog run just before noon at Little River Beach found a wonderful burning-off effect,…

Sunshine and breezy this early-evening Monday on California’s north coast — dog-running this morning at Ma-le’l Dunes was way-cool, though, a bit on the sharp-breezy side. ‘Breezy‘ the word next few days… In the rash of ugly news on the T-Rump and the state of the union —…

Clear and a bit on the cool side this Thursday evening here on California’s north coast — a beautiful day, and even with a chilled wind, the afternoon was gorgeous with bright sunshine and blue skies. A few puffy, white clouds were…

Chilly-cold and wet this Tuesday evening here on California’s north coast, and with a forecast for more rain tomorrow, at least there’s hope for sunshine on the horizon — the NWS is calling for ‘Mostly Sunny‘ on Thursday, and maybe Friday, too. Although rain is scheduled…

Cloudy and gray this Wednesday near-evening here on California’s north coast — although bright and beautiful for most of the day, got overcast and somber by late afternoon. Not bad at all, however.
