Early-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley. Warm, but not bad with a gentle, cool breeze which keeps the air pleasant and comfortable. We can feel the summer coming, though. Forecast for the next 90 days or so plays out first warmer (today), hot (next week) and then hotter (next month). No shock. Also shouldn’t…
A sunny and breezy early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Big, white clouds, too, and a cool-ish temperature (70-degrees right now) and an unfamiliar feel to the air — we had some fairly-heavy hail yesterday afternoon, and looked like rain this morning. Blogging outside again with a pix of the scene. I’m retired, so…
Overcast and damp this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley. Humid, too, after raining on-and-off nearly all day. Better than the heat and we need the rain. Major news of the day, so far, comes of course from the T-Rump — per The Washington Post this evening: President Trump announced Monday that he is…
Cloudy, humid and a bit of sprinkles this early-evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley. Another end to a two-day event, which not too long ago was called the ‘weekend,’ but now a week is measured just by days not seeming to end. Idiotic, insane character — the T-Rump tweeted this last night: Today, Bill…
Late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley. Sunny and a bit blustery right now, though, overcast and chilly for most of this morning. A lot of cloud cover lately, which keeps the heat down. And outside, beyond the apartment walls America has become some type institution. In the midst of a crippling, deadly pandemic, comes…
Overcast and breezy this late-afternoon Wednesday in California’s Central Valley. Never got real hot today, not bad weather-wise and pleasant. Did go shopping this morning, which is always a treat. Most people wore masks, and the store carried plenty of shoppers, but they all seemed to carry-on in a freakish ‘normal‘ sort of way and…
Occasional sunshine near mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Cloudy most of the morning, earlier even looked like rain for awhile, but appears the afternoon will sunny and warm, as normal. Weather-wise, of course, not much normal about the nowadays. Top-of-the-news today was in the US Senate where occurred a medical/scientific push-back of the…
Nutty as the world spins along — we are indeed caught in some Twilight Zone episode, flavored with a bit of Outer Limits, where I’m no longer in control of the TV. Two/three times a day, I receive e-mails from the County of Merced titled, ‘COVID-19 Notifications’, updates on the local situation with regards to…
Early afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley.The world keeps chugging away, and making headway on this crazy coronavirus, but the US has been unmasked as one fucked-up place (h/t Susie): Use of the masks has been a sticking point for idiots protesting lock-down orders, deadly delusional, as the use of masks has always been…
Ghastly but accurate (via Raw Story): Ending caught me by surprise — Joe? The video is from the UK — it works, though. And I spied the clip yesterday, but this morning I came across a must-read companion piece to it from the June issue of Rolling Stone by Tim Dickinson, a detailed survey of…
