(Illustration found here). Beyond the mournful images of Hurricane Harvey’s staggering-impact on southeast Texas, the narrative could spin into a scenario of the worse kind of nightmare. Along the coast are a way-shitload of chemical plants now underwater, or near-about, and possible explosive events that could be really, really bad. Charles P. Pierce at Esquire this…
Gray with a chilled air this early-evening Tuesday here on California’s north coast — contrast the way-ugly weather elsewhere. And a frame to the life under the T-Rump — Americans are swiftly-feeling the chill. Even well before all the ominous North Korean war news today, and before T-Rump’s ‘”fire and fury”‘ blather, a big chunk…
Foggy and growing darkly-gray this early-evening Monday on California’s north coast, cool as opposed to great heat found a couple of miles inland. Local, local, local — an old news story of interest, tapping into a report today on T-Rump-state TV (NBC News): ‘“More great economic news on Friday,” former pro-Trump cable news commentator Kayleigh…
Sunshine and warmth again this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — we’re sitting near 70-degrees here close to 5 o’clock, forecast for the high-70s along the shoreline for tomorrow and Thursday. Sweet here, but way-hot-shitty just slightly eastward from the beach — an example of our future. Research from the University of Colorado, published yesterday: Even…
Sunshine still this late Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast — another gorgeous episode of summer.

Warm and bright the late-afternoon Friday on California’s north coast, rain expected tomorrow and Sunday, clear again by the first of next week. Early summer… Weather-wise as opposed to the DC comedy-of-errors, the climate continues to weird-out, now close to home — the US Pacific shoreline under attack (via Climate Central last Tuesday): A new study…
Weak, near-pathetic sunshine this early-evening Wednesday on California’s north coast, trying hard to break through the merging marine layer, and previewing a wet-cloudy future the next few days. According to the NWS, ‘unseasonably heavy rain‘ will spatter the region starting tonight and continuing through Monday — an out-of-season ‘Atmospheric River,’ This afternoon, however, the huge…
Faded-yellow sunshine finally scuttling the overcast here this late-afternoon Tuesday on California’s north coast — pale light it is, as supposedly rain starting tomorrow night and mostly-wet through the weekend. Dreary this morning, and seemingly the last few days, weeks, and for at least a month. Life and the news has become so tedious, the…
Sunny and cool this late-afternoon Thursday on California’s north coast — high, sparse clouds shining through a smooth, crisp ocean breeze makes life along the shoreline more-than fairly nice. Anti-nice and horrifying was the scene earlier today in the White House Rose Garden — the T-Rump announced he was pulling the US out of the…
Sunshine and warmth this Wednesday evening on California’s north coast, a scenario of the good-as-it-gets category — not much wind helped the heat. According to the NWS, however, tomorrow a change of pace with a forecast of ‘Slight Chance Showers,’ but we’ll wait and see. And with climate change, we don’t need to wait any longer…
