Fog again this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we quickly work forward — today is the fall day toward the weekend. Hip-hip hooray! Although the NWS calls it “patchy fog,” the shit here on the coast feels like a soft, wet rain. Yesterday morning walking to work I could nearly feel the individual…
Fog and silence this early Friday on California’s north coast and we finally have the weekend staring us in the face. Weather is typical summer here — fog in the morning, sunshine and wind in the afternoon, though, yesterday was more fog than shine. And in new yearly rainfall totals for us was reported this week,…
Fog and a warm breeze this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — and warm is not like in hot, but more like in not-so chilly. And so it goes. Short and literary-dramatic, direct and to the point — yesterday from UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: “We know that we are not on track, and time…
Ground fog and a bit warm this way-too-early Monday on California’s north coast as another work week starts whether we like it or not — not! Those last two days appear much-much shorter than those other ones — why? The weather up here has been super great the last month, and the upcoming week appears…
Truth always trumps — no matter an impossible-case reporting what’s right. Case in point: Glenn Greenwald, in an interview last month: “The key to the social control was the possibility that they could be watched at any time.” Published 64 years ago last week, George Orwell’s “1984” has been the ultimate/universal code for bad-government juju.…
(Illustration found here). Just as everything got worse, it did — dust blown thousands of miles is darkening ice on earth’s glaciers and in the Arctic, eliminating “albedo,” the process of ice reflecting sunlight, adding heat in the environment, and further/faster climate change. From the Guardian today: The phenomenon of “dark snow” is being recorded from…
Overcast with a bit of ground fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as we pass the halfway mark for 2014 — time flies, period. Fun or not. Although we’ve had some gorgeous weather here, another product of the times — a derechos — had formed in the US Midwest and last night churned…
Heavy ground fog this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and beyond the mist, we’re forecast for some rainfall today, maybe. Weather on any shoreline is pretty-much unpredictable in a local, predictable way. A couple of weeks ago, President Obama delivered the commencement address at the University of California and jumped on climate change as…
Ground fog again this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and warm, too. And speaking of heat — Dr. Christopher Keating, a physicist who has taught at the University of South Dakota and the U.S. Naval Academy, has offered $10,000 of his own money to anyone who can disprove climate change. A kind of back-slap to…
Overcast with a chilly breeze here this Sunday on California’s north coast as we mingle the single days left in summer, which by the way, officially cranked-off yesterday. Although we’ve been experiencing ‘summer‘ for the past six weeks or so — bright, windy and a lot of sunshine. And warm for the most part. Especially…
