Clear half-moon hanging out over the Pacific Ocean this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as we spiral on into the work week. There some chance of rain the next few days, but if anything, the precipitation will be misty drizzle — heavy rain is not our forte here on the coast. And yesterday, California…
Clearly not an optimistic view of the near-future — last week, from the best news source up here on California’s north shoreline, the Lost Coast Outpost: When a security alarm went off a little after 10 p.m. on Saturday, May 10, at Trim Scene Solutions, she says, there were no Humboldt County Sheriff deputies available…
Bright and clear, a bit on the chilly side, but still a most-suitable Sunday morning here on California’s north coast. And a high pressure hanging out over the Pacific will supposedly keep us in ‘most-suitable’ conditions through Wednesday — yet who knows? Not when involved in a tale told the wife of Reginald Hargreaves. Yesterday,…
Up until just about an hour ago, I was feeling good — the weekend with the sun shining and the air up here on California’s northern coastline warm and fuzzy. Until Greg Mitchell at The Nation reminded me that yesterday was the 11th anniversary of George Jr.’s horrifying stunt of “Mission Accomplished” jet landing on the…
Overcast with some ground fog this early Friday on California’s north coast, and still a bit on the warm side. Yesterday was another gorgeous outing — bright sunshine and way-‘hot’ temperatures, like maybe in the 70s. Whoa! And the weekend is near-about on us! Also falling fast upon us is the coming end of the…
Clear and nice this early Monday on California’s north coast — the start of a new work week without much fanfare. There’s a lot to hate about Mondays, but the best hatred should be way-directed to just how short the weekend. The last two days were absolutely no exception. Too fast for comprehension — this…
Quiet with a deep, and low overcast this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — a situation which blocked us from the famous “blood moon” episode, seen just about everywhere else this morning. The total lunar eclipse supposedly painted the moon a coppery red, and everybody rejoiced — so says a Tweeter from Missouri: “It’s…
Low overcast and ground fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and a bit on the warm side, too. Another typical Humboldt County weather situation — fog with splashes of sunshine. Beyond the continuing news cycle of about the same thing — still searching the pings in the Indian Ocean; Russia warns of more…
(Illustration: The Dick, George Jr., and Rummy posture-preen serious — found here) As a sixth-grader, I was near-about convinced the United States of America was the greatest country in the history of the world. In 1960, we Americans figured our shit didn’t stink. Mainly and just-about all due to our elders telling us so, inbred…
Overcast with a slight chill in the air this early Friday on California’s north coast, and the most-important item floating in the atmosphere is it being Friday. Yes, Friday! Although feeling of a seemingly long work week, the time reality is like a snap of the fingers. Or the touch of shit — in the…
