Clear-blue skies and a shitload of sunshine this midday Friday here in California’s Central Valley — a bit of a cold wind, though, but still way-enjoyable more than an avalanche of atmospheric rivers that’s poured onto the state the last couple of months. A dozen ARs since December to make a fine weather point with…
Sunshine amidst billowing, white clouds this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — reportedly some nice weather (i.e., sunshine and warmth) for the coming weekend and beyond. As they say, about time. Doomscrolling the news (you don’t have to seek bad, ugly news, it’s everything, everywhere, all at once), I came across a couple…
Overcast and windy with way-little or no rain this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — rain not forecast until at least next Monday, which will be a relief from all the wet and wind we’ve experienced seemingly forever. Weather continues to plague our state, although it’s toasted by irony — we need the…
Apparently, as we head into the evening, Trump was not arrested today or booked or indicted or much of anything, except for the case of not many of his MAGA-hatter mad-hatters paraded; some did in Flordia, but in New York City where the legal action is supposed to take place was fairly quiet. This offering…
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…
Rain and cold wind this early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley as we engage in the front edge of a supposedly massive storm cruising our way out of the south Pacific — an ‘atmospheric river,’ or ‘Pineapple express,’ will reportedly crash into So Cal later tonight and tomorrow soaking the region. Including us here…
Another round in the Fox News lying escapade which has now spanned decades. In a rare action today, Joe Biden’s administration put a hard knock on Tucker Carlson and the obvious repugnant lies on the Jan. 6 insurrection — White House spokesperson Andrew Bates late this afternoon (CNN): “We agree with the chief of the…
Sunny and cold this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — nearly-exact the opposite of our forecast. We were supposed to at least have some rain by now, and for a while, it looked like it would happen, and then seemingly, and suddenly, sunshine reappeared (it’d been gorgeous in the morning) and the day…
In further ado of Randy’s delightful visual essay, via Dictionary.com: ‘Alternative facts have been called many things: falsehoods, untruths, delusions. A fact is something that actually exists—what we would call “reality” or “truth.” An alternative is one of the choices in a set of given options; typically the options are opposites of each other. So…
Windy and chilly near-about to sunset Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. A turnaround from a way-warm and sunshine-splashed morning — big storms coming, reportedly starting tomorrow. Rain forecast for maybe a week. Beyond Joe Biden’s gut punch of Vlad Putin and Russia’s working outside reality in Ukraine — Biden in Warsaw said the war…
