Lamenting the Deplorable

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.…

T-Rump, Climate Change and ‘Nobody Really Knows’

Some sunshine this Sunday morning on California’s north coast, but mostly overcast. Surreal darkly is T-Rump on TV, fork-tonguing on Fox News —  first on Russkies hacking the US election (Yahoo): ‘“I think it’s just another excuse. I don’t believe it…I think it’s ridiculous.”‘ And on climate change happening and the EPA (Washington Post): ‘“I’m…

‘Global warming and “an extraordinary departure from the norm”’

Overcast this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, with rain expected at any minute — supposedly rain until Saturday, at least, and some forecast to be fairly-decent in downfall. And cold-as-shit this morning, too. However, we on the shoreline are under an NWS ‘Frost Advisory,’ vs a few miles inland, and a ‘Freeze Warning.’ A degree-or-two…

False Denial

Sunshine bright and air that’s cold this Monday morning on California’s north coast, though, rain is forecast maybe by early evening. Temps dropping — the NWS calls for snowfall down tonight to 2,500 feet, with 1-to-3-inches for Berry Summit on 299, 1-to-3-inches at Collier Tunnel on 199. The season cometh, 16 days hence… In discussing…

Economy of Sense

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…

Journalism and T-Rump

Sharp, clean sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, way-chilly, though. As a former newspaper writer-person, reporting on T-Rump and his off-vibrates has got to be  weird as shit — for the first-time ever in public discourse, lying is the new reality. Journalism has a challenge — CNN‘s Christiane Amanpour nailed the bottom-line in…

One Week Unhinged Forever

Gorgeous Tuesday afternoon here on California’s north coast — bright sunshine and a mild breeze, though, on the slightly-chilled side. Supposedly, clear until tomorrow night when maybe some rain, but no strong, wet-weather system forecast until the weekend. Enjoy… One week from today however, just-about any enjoyment will vanish — a presidential election of historic…

T-Rump and ‘The Amygdala’ — Part Deux

Overcast, though no rain as of yet this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — howling, gusty winds earlier, but quiet right now. Update sort of on my post yesterday about T-Rump’s lying — CYA, as the asshole concocted a rant against truth Tuesday afternoon in Florida (via The Star): “These fact-checkers, they’ll check facts…
