Fog starting to burn-off this mid-morning Friday on California’s north coast. Yesterday afternoon was about as-good-as-it-gets weather-wise around here, and I’m not being flippant, either. No joke, only “SARCASM” seriously folks (HuffPost): “In American history, we’ve never had a major presidential candidate who fabricated facts with the regularity of Donald Trump,” said Douglas Brinkley, a history…
Sunshine this near-noon Thursday on California’s north coast, another day in the normal. Abnormal, however, is seemingly the worst adversary of America is not from without, but within. The world as it is — The Donald’s most-current bullshit (the Guardian this morning): ‘The origins of Isis trace back to the aftermath of the US invasion…
Sunshine this afternoon, tempered with cool ocean breezes. Too much temperature — on Wednesday a crucial environment story, an anthrax outbreak in Siberia (via NPR): ‘Officials don’t know exactly how the outbreak started, but the current hypothesis is almost unbelievable: A heat wave has thawed the frozen soil there and with it, a reindeer carcass…
Sunshine, near-clear skies and warm this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — another in the summer series of wonderful shoreline days. Although the wind is expected to pick-up later, right now it’s gorgeous. Beyond the crazed world, and the even-more crazed US presidential election, new information on how long people have been getting stoned…
Once again a dense and damp marine layer blankets the north coast of California this early Thursday, accompanied by a moist-chill to the air — foggy now, but in just a little while, most-likely bright-sunshine and warm temperatures. The grey was burned-off well-before noon yesterday, and maybe could today, too. In the wake of last…
Sunshine briefly, then a fog attack this early Friday on California’s north coast, and now an overcast gray with a chill to the air. Ironic, Orwellian-genre style: “If you want to hear the corporate spin, the carefully-crafted lies, and the media myths — the Democrats are holding their convention next week. But here, at our…
Cloudy with a chilly air this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — the weather lately becoming like the old, monotonous standard, ‘shampoo, rinse, repeat.’ The days becoming really similar — gray and gloomy in the morning, bright and cheerful in the afternoon. Not a complaint whatsoever. We’ve one of the continual most-pleasant weather situations…
Foggy-gray again this early-afternoon Tuesday on California’s north coast, most-likely a repeat of the last several days — cloudy/overcast until way late, then an anemic bit of sunshine before dark. Standard fare for the time… Another standard to the norm, Melania Trump’s plagiarism last night at the RNC — a view from Michael Gerson, former…
Deep, thick and drizzly-fog this early Monday on California’s north coast, creating most-likely another gloomy, gray environment for awhile — yesterday, no substantial sunshine until way-late in the afternoon. Cooler temperatures, too, in the forecast. Also forecast for today, the crazed-crank-up to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland — and we’re already sick of the whole-entire…
Gray-overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, an air of moisture and fog. The NWS, though, calls today, ‘Sunny,’ reacting to all the sunshine and nearly-clear skies slated for this afternoon — nice, too, with a ocean breeze. Not nice at all, and maybe creates a bit of nausea (via Politico): ‘New swing-state polls…
