Ashen-gray overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast with fog and cloud together again to produce a dreary-looking morning. Now retired nearly two years, I’ve joined a growing cadre of baby boomers without the finances for a ride into the sunset, or anywhere. We’re in a mob-pickle… (Illustration found here). Old age for me…
Overcast with occasional bursts of bright sunshine this Friday morning on California’s north coast. We had a goodly downpour for a couple of hours starting just at first light, more than an inch it appears, according to the NWS thingy. And then just quickly throttled way back — still heavy-cloudy, but with some gorgeous sun…
Buried beneath continuous news awash with death, destruction, and The Donald, events in the oil industry are low-key, but financially catastrophic on many levels. Good nutshell-analysis at OilPrice.com: This downward spiral will lead to further credit downgrades and bankruptcies within the oil patch. All the while, access to credit is shrinking across all sectors due to…
Just when you figured the freaked-out plate was full, from global warming to ISIS to Trump/Palin, now comes the cash-flow event — from NASDAQ this afternoon: ‘The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 376 points, or 2.4 percent, to 15640, after earlier dropping as much as 565 points.’ Rapidly-tanking oil prices are sucking everybody down the drain-hole…
Overcast and gray this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast as real-rain has given way to misty drizzle and sparse sprinkles — the big storm supposedly for today was quiet for us along the shoreline. Forecasters call for a slight-period of semi-dry until Thursday. In another type respite, yesterday I put $20 worth of gas…
‘Heavy rain‘ forecast for this early Friday on California’s north coast, and indeed, all morning on-and-off deluges –accordingly, we’ve already nearly two-inches in rainfall so far off this system. Nice to pluck weather information from the InterWebs — however, this week a shitload of local people, including some government agencies of Humboldt County, lost Internet…
Overcast, dark and chilly this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, a natural stage set for fairly-heavy rain due sometime this afternoon — according to the NWS, we could get more than half-an-inch before tomorrow. Supposedly, the rain-front is expected to be quiet through the weekend, with the next go around forecast for next Tuesday,…
Clear and chilly again this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast as a cycle of nice weather keeps the sunshine coming — next rain scheduled for this weekend, if not sooner, so enjoy the ride. Although much has been reported about the medical benefits of marijuana, a new study just released indicates what I’ve known…
Wet outside this Sunday morning on California’s north coast with rain becoming drizzle, then back to actual rain again — heaviest rainfall earlier in the dark, and now this particular storm-front appears fading away. And seemingly-maybe the season be upon us, more rain forecast for Tuesday night, or sooner. Weather-related: Another climate-change study — this…
Bright sunshine and nearly-clear skies this Thursday morning on California’s north coast and supposedly will continue the rest of the week, the seemingly always present fog bank notwithstanding. Rain this weekend — 20-30 percent, and looks a front spread out over a few days. Marijuana back in the news with studies on use/abuse, or the…
