Overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, supposedly the rain is gone until the weekend, but those thick, gray clouds hovering overhead right now look more than just a little rain-threatening. The NWS is calling today ‘mostly sunny,’ which is way better than mostly good, as I’m currently without wheels, two-footing it to Safeway…
Mostly-hazy sunshine this afternoon on California’s north coast, but on occasion the air is way-bright, and warmer than chilly, which is good. Some bad climate news today (nothing new) with droughts now plaguing the American Southwest predicted to get worse — real worse, like out of the Middle Ages worse. Via Scientific American: But a…
Orange-white light brightens the eastern skies this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — we’re forecast for overcast, increasing clouds and another rain front coming supposedly tomorrow, but for right now, there’s sunshine mingled with a bit of ground fog. Nice, but cold, though. Maybe another day like yesterday afternoon — most-likely one of those…
Bright sunshine and clear skies this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast, and really warm — right now the NWS claims it’s 71 degrees, nearly summertime weather. Windows are open to a soft breeze that feels nice. Not nice is extreme fear. In the shadow of that Paris terror attack today, was this bit of…
Bright and full of sunshine this Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast — still a bit on the chilly side, though. White, big-fluffy clouds paints a wind-blown sky looking-like winter. On occasion, when those clouds pass between the sun and my apartment window, the air itself appears to get darker real fast. Also this particular…
Cold and clear, and tons of sunshine this early Saturday on California’s north coast — supposed to be sunny through next week. Wait-and-see, of course. Another story I’d seen a few days ago, and just now comes back to mind — the think-tank RAND Corporation just published its “Blinders, Blunders, and Wars: What America and…
Stars and a mist-shrouded moon, looking like a nicely-trimmed toenail, hanging above a little section of California’s north coast, and here early Tuesday, another day in the life. In-and-out of the crazy-weird world of journalism nearly 40 years, plus as a writer, I’ve easily become a way-more-than-an-enthusiast for current events, especially in this techno-peculiar age…
Dark with a thick overcast in mid-afternoon here on California’s north coast, ‘rain likely’ so says the NWS and most-likely it will, but who’s to know? Beyond/besides just a warming planet, this yesterday in the Guardian reveals humanity’s plight hinges on more than climate: A stark depiction of the threat hanging over the world’s mammals,…
Sunshine finally this afternoon — and for more than just a few minutes. A factoid known in reality, but yet proven. Via the LA Times: New research has rigorously tested Male Idiot Theory, which posits that, well, men are idiots and are driven to take ridiculous risks despite the clear prospects for self-harm, and for…
Thick overcast this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as rain continues its work, though, the NWS calls it ‘showers‘ and not actual full-blown rain. Drizzle? Down south in the Bay Area this morning, however, precipitation is considered ‘heavy rain,’ and has already caused a shitload of ‘crashes, traffic hazards and flooding,’ and should lighten…
