Drizzle and cold-breezy this late-afternoon Thursday on California’s north coast — supposedly, rain later tonight, continuing tomorrow and on-through the weekend. The NWS, though, calls the precipitation ‘Showers,’ so it may not be such a heavy downpour. Sunshine perhaps on Sunday and hopefully-bright days to mid-next week. Right…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Agonizing Horse,’ found here). Clear and chilly this early-evening Friday on California’s north coast, a beautiful way to end our last few days of dry — gorgeous-bright and warm this morning without much wind at all, but cooled-off by mid-afternoon with the arrival of a sharp, crisp breeze. Yet still ‘good-as-it-gets’ for…
(Illustration: MC Escher’s engraving, ‘Old Oliver Tree,’ found here. Cold and dark this Thursday evening on California’s north coast — there was passing faded-yellow sunshine during late morning, early afternoon today, then later on, occasional bursts of bright between dark-gray clouds onward to right now. Rain expected tomorrow. And tomorrow being Friday, maybe another crazy…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Weeping Woman,’ found here). Near-about all sunshine and seemingly much warmer this Wednesday late-afternoon here on California’s north coast, and once again the Ma-le’l Dunes were a wonder — sort of like walking on the moon, but not at all. The State of the Union last night by the T-Rump was dark…
A tragic, sad story to fold into a shit-load of others — five people died yesterday down in Orange County when a plane blew apart in the air, falling pieces struck a house. Killed were the pilot (flying solo) and four people in the house. Around the block: This morning, authorities identified the pilot as Antonio…
(Illustration: ‘Pinocchio,’ by Enrico Mazzanti (1852-1910), found here). Quietly wet this Sunday evening on California’s north coast — rain-showers and clouds all day, and although maybe a little undramatic, getting soaked is still no fun. Some real-foul weather though, down in the LA area, and along the Central Coast with heavy rain, mudslides and wind. Weathering…
(Illustration: Salvador Dali’s ‘Baby Map of the World, 1939,’ found here). Sunshine-warm this early Saturday afternoon on California’s north coast — drizzled a bit earlier, but still managed to take the dogs to the Ma-le’l Dunes awhile, but apparently should have stayed longer as it’s been dry for the last couple of hours. However, the NWS…
(Illustration: Vincent van Gogh’s ‘Old Man in Sorrow (On the Threshold of Eternity)‘ found here). One wonders in heartbreak if the T-Rump could somehow be driven from office before 2020, or resign because legal shit got so deep, he’d be forced to go, or risk jail. Despite the obvious, an op/ed at Bloomberg yesterday noted the…
(Illustration: Salvador Dali’s ‘Soft Watch at the Moment of First Explosion,’ found here). The dark-gray sense of storm apprehension this early afternoon Friday on California’s north coast, supposedly a decent-rainfall storm starting today and lasting though Monday. Forecasts for big rain totals for inland, with freezing temperatures and snow. Reportedly, however, good sunshine Tuesday-thru-Thursday next…
(Illustration: ‘President Trump,’ by Jonathan Bass, found here). An outstanding Thursday here on California’s north coast, bright, warm sunshine and clear skies for just about all day, and now in early evening, a bit of the winter chill, but nice outside. Rain still forecast for tomorrow, and accordingly drizzle/showers/rain through the middle of next week.…
