Temps still in triple digits this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re at 110 degrees right now, and still a couple of hours of daylight left, and with it maybe some cooling. Heat is normal in the times of the abnormal. In a news day shaded near-completely by all kinds of stories…
Major-crater story this Thursday noon, and probably for a few days hence — Queen Elizabeth II has died, aged 96. Typical of the stories to be posted — per the Guardian‘s Iive blog: Standing outside the gates of Balmoral as the sombre news of the Queen’s death was announced were two accident and emergency nurses…
Already in triple digits this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — extremely hot outside in the sun right now, such as even a sojourn in the shade sucks. All record-breaking shit. Supposedly ‘cooler‘ today (forecast high of 110, so ‘cooler‘ is way-relative or non-existent) as compared to yesterday: Even in this, I beg…
Although idiotic, the T-Rump has been a tight-fisted asshole with his lawyers for a long time. Beyond the creepy judges he appointed, and the bullshit legal, half-witted maneuvers in the Mar-a-Lago documents scandal, this item on paying one of his attorneys in horse flesh instead of real cash takes the nightmarish horror-cake. Another revealing T-Rump…
Super hot — 112 degrees — this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley, and knowledge we’ve still got probably another week of this shit, makes the whole scene more blistering. Weather on the weather. Also on a hot streak is Joe Biden, swinging back at the nefarious, asshole-lingering Republicans with another go around on…
A quick move past ugly and focus on rain — Annie Lennox and rain. Instead of news-related shit to bring you way down this Sunday late afternoon, a quick focus on Annie and what an incredible set of pipes she has, especially with my most-favorite song of the last three/four years — an unplugged version…
Hot as shit outside this near-noon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re forecast for boiling-scalding temperatures through the middle of the month at least, with 115 degrees predicted for this coming Tuesday. In the heat of cruel idiocy: Beyond the idiots lies the lying. In this world of heavy-duty ‘alternative facts‘ of T-Rump…
Beyond the norm in hot this late-afternoon Saturday in California’s Central Valley — right now it’s 108 (with a ‘feels like’ factor of 110 degrees), which is maybe tempered just a bit by a soft wind. I don’t think so — ‘soft‘ is way-too ‘soft‘ a word to describe the outside of my air-conditioned apartment.…
In the downer toilet-flush of a Friday news dump, I’ve gone to do a bowl — pipe bowl, that is. Here are some cannabis/marijuana news bits to refresh the mind to what ails it outside of just about every fucking thing. Marijuana has been a part of my life for more than 48 years now…
Hot and heavy this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — although one degree short of triple figures, the ‘feels like‘ gauge on my local weather site cites 102-degrees, which when I was outside a just a short while ago, is an understatement. We’re in a multi-day, statewide/region-wide ‘heat dome’ experience where baking-hot is…
