(Illustration: M.C Escher’s ‘Three Spheres II,’ found here). Cloudy and cold this early-evening Tuesday here on California’s north coast. Bright sunshine for most of the day, and real-chilly breezy, too. Started darkening-up late this afternoon, with rain forecast for tonight and tomorrow. Sunshine back supposedly on Thursday for a couple of days, then the cycle…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Seated Pierrot,’ found here). Cloudy and damp this early-evening Saturday on California’s north coast, though, I could see the three-quartered moon out my bedroom window a little while ago, but probably not now. Showered on-and-off all today, with some heavy downpours mixed in for good measure. More rain forecast tonight and in…
In some regard to our current state of life — one of the most-inflictive musical sounds coming via a sensual-philosophical motif from long, long ago, but not-all-that-far away: During the mid-to-late 1990s. I was first a customer, then worked as a barista, and even at one point managed one of the greatest public business/entity ever, the…
(Illustration found here). One good ground-gainer in all this horrifying news-life cycle-shit, and something which not too long ago would be considered a major no-no, especially while running for president of the United States, and apparently, the casual words denote a large (maybe majority) number of people who now think nothing of it: Democratic White House…
Odd-off Sunday here on California’s north coast, and now in early evening there’s maybe just a tiny fraction of snow remaining from last night’s storm — earlier today south Arcata’s infrastructure-structure operation of house and porch roofs, car roofs, sidewalks, lawns, flower beds, everything was covered in surreal puffs of snow. Did I go to…
(Illustration: MC Escher’s engraving, ‘Old Oliver Tree,’ found here. Cold and dark this Thursday evening on California’s north coast — there was passing faded-yellow sunshine during late morning, early afternoon today, then later on, occasional bursts of bright between dark-gray clouds onward to right now. Rain expected tomorrow. And tomorrow being Friday, maybe another crazy…
(Illustration: Salvador Dali’s ‘Baby Map of the World, 1939,’ found here). Sunshine-warm this early Saturday afternoon on California’s north coast — drizzled a bit earlier, but still managed to take the dogs to the Ma-le’l Dunes awhile, but apparently should have stayed longer as it’s been dry for the last couple of hours. However, the NWS…
(Illustration: Salvador Dali’s ‘Soft Watch at the Moment of First Explosion,’ found here). The dark-gray sense of storm apprehension this early afternoon Friday on California’s north coast, supposedly a decent-rainfall storm starting today and lasting though Monday. Forecasts for big rain totals for inland, with freezing temperatures and snow. Reportedly, however, good sunshine Tuesday-thru-Thursday next…
(Illustration: Donald Trump, ‘Basic Shapes,‘ by caricaturist/illustrator Chong Jit Leong, found here). Cloudy and a bit chilly this Monday evening on California’s north coast, dark and overcast all day, though, some faded-weak sunshine appeared later in the afternoon, and more sun forecast for tomorrow — decent rain storm scheduled to start on Friday, supposedly lasting…
(Illustration: Salvador Dali’s ‘Hell Canto 2: Giants,’ found here). Overcast and foggy this Wednesday evening on California’s north coast, forecasters claimed maybe some drizzle, too, but none yet. In a short little time frame, we did get some sunshine in mid-afternoon, but the bright spell didn’t last long. Pretty cold, though… Another aspect of cold is…
