Overcast with an occasional slice of sunshine this near-noon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — a last day or so of cool, wondrous weather until we run headfirst, smack-dab into a furnace environment by this weekend. Despite the onrush of higher temperatures for our area, we’re just following in behind the rest of the…
Clear, gorgeous skies and tepid temperatures this late-afteroon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — the first day of the end of a wonderful pre-summer blitz of great weather. Heat rolls in the next few days with triple-digits expected by the weekend. Today has carried a rigorous news cycle — among the items were a…
Bright, shiny sunshine with thick, warm air this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — although a bit chilly earlier this morning, right now we’re in the mid-80s on e summer-infused environmental road to triple digits supposedly to be plaguing us by the end of next week. Finally, the season is coming to a…
Sunshine and a cool, gentle breeze this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — another weekend ahead with even more agreeable weather. Summer is nice and soft, so far. Beyond the terrible news dump today — the sad demise of the Titanic submersible (with even a Joe Biden conspiracy theory now somehow attached); wrapping…
Another gorgeous, sunshine-filled, low-temp episode shortly after the noon hour Thursday here in California’s Central Valley. Reportedly, another 10 days or so of this chilled-type weather (abnormal for the time) and summer is then expected to start kicking in with triple-digit air temperatures, so enjoy while you can. We all take notice of ‘special days‘…
As we await news on the submersible, known as “Titan,” missing since Sunday on a sight-seeing trip to the deep-sea-sunken Titanic, there was a couple of incidents in the House today that kept the interests nauseatingly viable — both stories on the shittiness of House Republicans and their wayward agenda of spite and arrogant ignorance.…
Bright sunshine and chilly temperatures this mid-day Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — the summer solstice today, the opening round of summer. The clock spun from spring to summer reportedly at 7:58 this morning PDT, and we’re now well into the cycle. Except summer is nowhere to be seen/felt here in California. Unlike a…
Just near-sleep-scrolling through the InterWebs the last couple of days without the energy, drive, or literary desire to post on anything, from all our environments, be it one-sided horror politics, genocidal war, or the-becoming hothouse weather. Reality nowadays is wretched. So far today, the only real pass-along item I spied is a deep-dive into the…
(Artwork: ‘Landscape of Change,’ by Jill Pelto, and found here.) Sunshine and heat this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — today is one of the steps on a rising-temperature stairway we’re going to experience in the next couple of days. Although we’re in the high 80s right now, maybe triple digits by Saturday.…
(Sketch-image of T-Rump in court by Jane Rosenberg/Reuters, and found here.) Although scenes today of the T-Rump entourage in Miami appeared at first look as normal, low key and, maybe, a bit bland, but in reality the scene was surreal as shit. One of the most despised, despicable, dipshit assholes on the planet took a…
