War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast-foggy this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — occasional faded-yellow sunshine blinds, but quickly fades into gray. Chance of rain maybe on Friday, but the summer moves along… Last night sounded like a war zone. Outside my window as I attempted sleep, the sound reminiscent of downtown Fallujah — small weapons fire meshed with…
Sunshine with a bit of cloud cover this Monday morning on California’s north coast, allowing a clear, bright-light every so often, a change from the recent gloomy, overcast of the last few days. The NWS did warn about fire hazards in the area, retrieving the old adage: ‘Avoid throwing out cigarette butts out the window while…
Fog-bound again this early Friday on California’s north coast — temporary if the recent past reflects the current future. Most-likely sunny and breezy in a coupe of hours. Climate-wise the past is killing the future (via Scientific American): ‘Climate change has claimed its first confirmed mammal extinction. The tiny Bramble Cay melomys (also known as…
Drizzly-fog and gray skies this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and our weather continues its predictable unpredictability — yesterday, no sunshine until way-late in the afternoon. Most-likely today will be the same… Despite our air-wetness up here, last week’s Drought Monitor reported all of California still covered in some-type dry, and getting so bad California…
Deep-gray on California’s north coast this early Monday, and damp with patchy-drizzly fog — if trends continue, however, by mid-morning we should be awash with sunshine. Environmental concerns across the pond — amidst Britain’s Brexit chaos is the danger for climate research (National Geographic): ‘“It’s depressing, but the uncertainty doesn’t help,” says Philip Jones, research…
Bright sunshine and near-clear skies this early Thursday on California’s north coast, reversing trends of early-morning gray. Beyond US politics, after a recent binge-watch of all four ‘Jurrasic Park‘ movies, I realized nuclear power plants should also carry that same ‘Park‘ warning — All’s cool, “Until something goes wrong…” Case in point, Japan’s Fukushima Diiachi…
Overcast and gloomy-looking this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — a temporary gray as way-most-likely the sun will dramatically appear soon and wash away the sad. Dry for at least the next 10 days, maybe longer as the summer cranks itself into gear. A perfect pitch for a searing fire season ahead for California,…
Fog mingled with low clouds overcast this early Monday on California’s north coast — a chilled ocean breeze indicates the marine layer is yuuge… Today, too, is the beginning of Summer Solstice, reportedly actually starting at 3:34 PDT this afternoon, and also supposedly the longest day of the year. If interested, there’s a handy, localized…
Surprise sunshine this early Thursday on California’s north coast. Forecasters had predicted overcast-showers for last night and today — as I fell asleep, sure enough, drizzle pecking at the roof. Expecting a dreary-gray AM — but alas! A bright, near-glaring glow to the morning. The wet maybe swooshed back to this early afternoon — according…
Sunshine burning-off some misty, thin coastal fog this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast as we continue unabated through some gorgeous weather — maybe tripled-digit temperatures away from the shoreline. Despite bullshit-asshole The Donald proclaiming last Friday: ‘“They don’t understand — nobody understands it,” he said, declaring at one point: “There is no drought. They turn…
