Clear, bright sunrise this early Thursday on California’s north coast. Supposedly nice weather the next couple of days — no decent-sized rain expected until late-Saturday/early Sunday. Weathering the unease of the new year is mostly brown-eyes crying in the rain. Even among young people — a new study reveals use of multiple social media platforms,…
Glaring, bright sunshine this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and still well on the chilly side, too. Supposedly the next couple of days, the weather will cooperate in a similar pattern with ‘Mostly Sunny‘ days, and cold temperatures — no rain forecast until the weekend, but we’ll have to wait and check-it-out. Also on…
Overcast-gray with some layered ground fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — sprinkles/drizzle forecast for sometime this morning. In context of the coming new year, and a newly-minted/old word I’d never heard of until intrigued by a post a couple of weeks ago at Digby — the word, Kakistocracy, ‘…a term meaning a…
Slivers of faded-yellow sunshine this early Thursday on California’s north coast — big rainstorm due this afternoon, and will supposedly drench-over into all day tomorrow. Weather the system, but not the climate — an unpresidented gloom in the T-Rump atmosphere: It is about the candidate who was picked as president by the electoral college on Monday.…
Crystal-clear with bright sunshine this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and cold, too. Frosted rooftops in the neighborhood this morning as temps right now just a few degrees above freezing. No rain until sometime tomorrow afternoon, decent-sized storm expected, though.. Today is also the ‘Winter/December Solstice,’ which actually occurred at 2:44 AM, and “officially”…
Overcast with occasional sunshine this early Monday on California’s north coast, as more rain expected starting tonight. Even as the Electoral College does its shitty thing today, T-Rump and climate change don’t mix — especially with the midlands of the US now engulfed in a winter where temperatures are below -50°F at times. Warmth bringing…
Overcast-gray this Thursday morning here on California’s north coast, a respite from the rainstorms sweeping the area this week. Sunshine maybe tomorrow… Peculiar and frightful the chart to the right, Republicans have gone insane — via HuffPost yesterday: Russian President Vladimir Putin’s net favorable rating among Republicans has climbed by an astonishing 56 percentage points since…
Raining-darkly this Friday morning on California’s north coast. According forecasts, we should stay wet at least until Monday, and even then it’s still likely there’s going to be drizzle. Supposedly-maybe, near two-inches for the shoreline tonight and tomorrow, of course, higher amounts inland. Funny, how the word ‘weather‘ also means more than the environment —…
Death of history: a generation of memory — Greg Lake died yesterday at age 69: And today, John Glenn passed at 96: And so it goes… (Illustration out front: Vincent van Gogh’s ‘Old Man in Sorrow (On the Threshold of Eternity)‘ found here).
Overcast and cold this early Friday on California’s north coast, and supposedly maybe some sunshine later, with no rain forecast until Sunday. As T-Rump bumbles into control, Americans at least for the moment are in decent economic times. The Labor Department released some good numbers this morning — 178,000 new jobs in in November, and unemployment…
