Just to keep the weather again in the forefront with news items displaying climate change exacerbating our overheating planet meteorology. The truth is shit-scary: Bill McGuire, professor emeritus of geophysical and climate hazards at UCL and a climate activist, in an op/ed at the Guardian this afternoon — if you think it’s hot now, just…
Hot but not yet unpleasant near mid-day Monday here in California’s Central Valley, the big plus-factor is a nice breeze, which keeps the firestarter temperatures down a notch or two.

Rinse and repeat, but with really, really hot water. Another heavy-air experience this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley; we’re in a dangerous zone with high-ass temperatures and without any hint of wind.

Cool and nice this late-afternoon Sunday — the in-between day of the holiday weekend — here in California’s Central Valley as we await the sounds of fireworks exploding in the minds of our dog and cat population, and probably other animal types, too, but I’m only familiar with them. Anyway, slow news day, and came…
Exciting life nowadays. In the midst of shit, a glimmer of positive news — via SciTechDaily: ‘Just in time for worldwide Asteroid Day: a threatening space rock lingered at the top of risk lists around the globe for months, with a real chance of striking Earth on April 2, 2052. Now, ESA’s asteroid team working…
Cool and comfortable this near-noon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — guilt-outlandish considering a few other places: The video above has most-likely been viewed a shitload of times this past week as weather across the US has been way-out-there, as an old saying goes, but horribly-sad becoming the ‘new normal’ as our environment heats…
