Overcast this afternoon on California’s north coast as we await a ‘significant rain event‘ later tonight or tomorrow by virtue of a large, heavy-duty storm which could drop maybe a foot of rain on us. Batten down the hatches! In a related climatic note, a recent study has revealed the American Pika rabbit/hare is disappearing…
Sarah Palin has always been the poster-gal for bat-shit crazy, which lead obnoxiously to fame and reality TV, but her trademark aura of non compos mentis has finally lost its fruit flavor. Last week, via the Guardian: Sarah Palin’s eccentric speech to a Republican conference in Iowa last weekend, which has been criticised even by…
Thick, gray clouds, hanging low this early Friday on California’s north coast — and a bit on the cold side, too, with a slight, chilled breeze. Supposedly, though, we’re to receive heavy sunshine sometime today, and on into tomorrow, maybe rain by late Sunday. Weather forecasting, however, and like a lot of other assorted shit,…
Just as it was announced the US will deploy this week an additional 1,000 soldiers to Iraq, a couple of episodes from the Canadians, also in country to ‘only‘ train the national army, on how shit changes color — they’ve been in firefights already. From Canada’s The Star this morning: ‘Forget said the incidents mark an evolution…
Overcast and cold with a hint of light to the east — early Tuesday here on California’s north coast, and what’s the NWS-difference between ‘mostly cloudy,’ and ‘partly sunny,’ and who/what makes that subtle distinction? Meanwhile, and right now, a huge, monster storm is bashing the US eastern seaboard, and although New York City “dodged…
Thick overcast of deep gray this afternoon on California’s north coast — sunshine aplenty this morning, but quickly replaced first by a dense ground fog, which lifted a bit to form a dull, depressing sky. Another space rock encounter/near miss tonight: ‘A massive asteroid, roughly twice the size of the Rose Bowl stadium, will safely fly…
Bright and still this afternoon on California’s north coast, but there’s still a chill in the air. This morning, a symbolic-metaphoric event based on figured-reality — the fabled, iconic Doomsday Clock, created and maintained by the Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists since 1947 was moved two minutes closer to the also-iconic-but-frightful…
Once again clear and cold this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — in the mid 30s right now, and as expected, we’re supposed to be ‘nearly the same‘ weather-wise as yesterday. Yet change is the norm nowadays, anything-wise. Tonight, the original, ‘Mr. Change,’ President Obama, postulates the State of the Union speech just in…
A clear and cold early Monday here on California’s north coast, a few wispy clouds scattered about a whitening sky, otherwise, appears plenty of shine a-coming. Supposedly, rain free until at least next week. In the gritty news cycle this morning, amongst war, politics and the Super Bowl match-up, one stand-out is indeed a pisser,…
Rain and dark this early Friday on California’s north coast — according to NWS prelim totals we’ve gotten more than an inch of the wetness already, and all less than 24 hours into this new weather front. Feels a little warmer than yesterday. This morning, however, an odd, sense of copy-cat crazy with a violent…
