Foggy and chilly again this early Wednesday morning on California’s north coast and the weather sure feels like winter’s already here — the wet cold clings to the body-frame all day long. In this type situation, the chill on the coast is better than frost and real cold landward. America is currently in a struggle…
Another school-shooting horror yesterday in Sparks, Nevada, and once again no one can figure it out. Via the Seattle Times: “Everybody wants to know why — that’s the big question,” Sparks Deputy Police Chief Tom Miller said. “The answer is, we don’t know right now.” Indeed, why would a 12-year-old boy bring a Ruger 9mm…
Foggy and chilly again this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as we move swiftly through another work week — just think, Friday is now a day closer. And President Obama has a work week cut out for him, too, but there’s absolutely no weekend waiting for him. He’s catching flak-shit from just about all…
Sparkling starlight this way-early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and a bit on the chilly side, too. We’ve been forecast for some frost in the internal valleys this morning, but out here next to the Pacific Ocean, it’ll be cool but way-pleasant.

Crystal-clear and a bit chilly this Friday morning on California’s north coast with a majestic full moon hanging mega-bright over it all — despite that, we’ve a 90 percent forecast for rain later today, maybe with some thunderstorms tonight. Weather is as peculiar as life nowadays. Apparently, in this humanistic, modern age, guns are king:…
Drizzling rain this way-early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and the weather matches the mood. Horror once again yesterday via another gun massacre at DC’s Washington Navy Yard — 12 dead and eight wounded. And not a motive in gun-sight, beyond some guy armed to the teeth and pissed about something. The nightmare shits: The…
(Illustration found here). Further tales of the NSA — this one on the Dr. Strangelove character, NSA chief Gen. Keith Alexander, and the good general’s Star Trek obsession, and on our dime. Via PBS: “When he was running the Army’s Intelligence and Security Command, Alexander brought many of his future allies down to Fort Belvoir…
Finally, it’s Friday! Still overcast and a bit warm this early morning here on California’s north coast as we continue our falling way into the fall season — we did get some sunshine yesterday, but it was well into the late afternoon.
