Sunshine in between large, fluffy clouds this late afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — supposedly no rain featured on the weather front for at least 10 days or so. Hip-hip-hooray. And in the hip-hip-hooray category and as the entire InterWebs has gathered — the T-Rump was indicted this afternoon in the Stormy Daniels…
Drizzling rain this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — it’s been gray just about all day (a little poetry, there) with a bright streak of sunshine around noonish, then back to overcast, finally at near dark, rain again. Another post-thingie on guns and mass shootings and why we can’t collect some common sense…
An outside gray environment complete with some steady rain this late afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — supposedly wet only today and tomorrow, then we’re back to some sunshine for at least a week before any more rain is on the schedule. In a vernacular, emotional twist of rain that’s sad — the…
Clear skies and sunshine galore this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley. One of those as-good-as-it-gets kind of days — bright and warm. Against that particular grain of bright and warm as the events this morning at an elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, blows the air out of that dreamy balloon — another freaking,…
Overcast and warm this late afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central valley — rain expected tomorrow, or maybe even tonight, but supposedly (hopefully) not as disastrous as in the immediate past. Less than a week, reportedly, and we’re back to sunshine again. Probably the big story today occurred this morning — and I’m sure you’ve…
Cold this early-evening Saturday here in California’s Central Valley. Another near-typical seasonal day with our shitty tule fog heavy in the morning and burning off into a nice, sunny afternoon — weather the weather. A major concern is whether we can. Beyond the weather outside, the tempo of America’s social/political environment is channeled through one…
The chilled end of the work week quickly approaches this Friday evening here in California’s Central Valley and the season continues in fashion — a New Year hastily coming quickly around the cold-ass corner! In the shadow of the Elon Musk bullshit on Twitter, the T-Rump might be going beyond his superhero cards and might…
Dark-thirty already this early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley. Today was the opposite of forecasts, which does happen, as our outside was sunny this morning, but heavy fog in the afternoon — an exact reversal of what the local weather predictions had indicated earlier, a primarily regular routine. Fog in the AM, burned off…
Bright sunshine and chilly-willy temperatures this early Tuesday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley — although a bit crisp, outside right now is another ‘good-as-it-gets-around-these-parts’ episode. Usually too hot, or too something. Nice this morning. however. Today marks a full week since the midterms and the euphoria still lingers in the air. Despite the gains,…
On the eve of maybe the last weekend of American, old-school-real democracy. a big chunk of those Americans are scared of political violence, primarily as spewed by Republicans. If the tide runs against us, we are indeed f*cked in the dark. Sunny and chilly this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley, but the lifestyle…
