‘Fcked at a Certain Point’
August 8, 2014Fog and overcast again here on California’s north coast, but the ordinary is punched out of significance by it being Friday — yipee, yipee. Days seem to get shorter and shorter — weeks and months…
Scared of Fright
August 7, 2014Fog bound Thursday morning here on California’s north coast, and quiet. Only folks up right now are insomniacs, meth-heads and me. At least the weekend is only hours away. Life nowadays appears as if on…
Rain and Fire
August 4, 2014Another morning and another early Monday here on California’s north coast, and another fog-shrouded start to another work week — apparently, Saturday and Sunday never happened. Or did they? California is going through a rough…

‘Fire Storm’ Monday
July 21, 2014Ground fog again this way-too-early, and way-too-soon Monday as we climb out onto the limb of a work week. Saturday and Sunday appear to pass in a flash — and here we are! This can’t…
