The ‘Leaf-On’/’Leaf-Off’ Out-of-Sync Boogie

Clear and cold this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, sunshine and just a few degrees above freezing — we’re under a Frost Advisory again, too. Tilting through a little dry spell right now it seems, and from the NWS anyway, the immediate-future forecast looks rainless until at least the end of next week. And…

‘Personally Morally Obligated’

Dawn’s rain this early Friday on California’s north coast — the heavy stuff arriving earlier with a good downpour after midnight. Dark and wet and gloomy as we quickly finish-off February’s rapid exposure, and attempt to become primed-and-ready for beware-middle-of-the-month March, which makes an entrance on Sunday. A week later, we’ll make sure shit goes…

Gas Cavities

Rain spatters on the back patio this afternoon on California’s north coast, but only a little bit at a time, way less than a drizzle, and really not much more than a damp wind. Supposedly, the real stuff is forecast to arrive later tonight, or early in the morning — less than a tenth-of-an-inch predicted.…

Fuk-Up, Again

Bright with a stiff chilly wind this afternoon on California’s north coast — another day in the retired life. The ongoing science-reality, horror-saga of Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant continues, now approaching the fourth anniversary of its infamous earthquake/tsunami meltdown. And the situation still sucks, bad. (Illustration found here). Via Newsweek this afternoon: The operator…

Krazy Speak

Overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and the NWS claims right now we’re just a few degrees above freezing — before sun up, clear and cold, which morphed into the current cloudy and cold. Early riser I am, but that’s a sleep habit, nothing to do with the actual outside temperature — idiot!…

Polar Heat

Clear with a wisp of ground fog this early Friday on California’s north coast — and a cold chill accompanying a brightening sky to the east. We’re set supposedly for ‘mostly sunny’ through the end of next week before any chance of rain — yesterday afternoon blossomed into another warm, amicable episode in a mostly-dry,…
