Treat from the skies starting tonight — the annual Perseids meteor shower. Anthony Lydgate back-grounding at the New Yorker this afternoon: The Perseids keep their annual schedule so well that in the nineteenth century they were known as the Tears of St. Lawrence, since they stream through the sky most abundantly around August 10th, the holy…
Once again a dense and damp marine layer blankets the north coast of California this early Thursday, accompanied by a moist-chill to the air — foggy now, but in just a little while, most-likely bright-sunshine and warm temperatures. The grey was burned-off well-before noon yesterday, and maybe could today, too. In the wake of last…
Patchy-sunshine mingled with patchy-fog this early Thursday on California’s north coast — a fairly-good chance of some rain showers starting late tonight and light-wetness possibility on/off through the weekend. And we summer along… Beyond the madcap news cycle this morning — there’s so much shit going on worldwide even as I type, it would take…
Gray-overcast again this early Thursday on California’s north coast — sunshine supposedly later, but tempered with some expected gusty winds. Another day in the life… And ugly it can be — Donald Trump continues. A display of the overall repugnance of Republicans, this from Sen. Mike Lee of Utah: ‘“Hey look, Steve, I get it. You…
A dog’s life. The Corgi pictured at right is my daughter’s, Kuru, after a romp on the beach here in Mckinleyville — I wrote the backstory on Kuru last November. Read it here if you’d like, a dog’s tale. Point of interest for this particular post is tomorrow’s biannual Nor Cal Corgi Con 2016 Summer…
Fog already starting to burn-off this early Friday on California’s north coast as we continue our merry way through some way-nice weather — no rain for an-apparent long while, and sunshine afternoons. Dan Rather’s catch on the presidential season — bad news: ‘“This is a dirty, nasty election. And it is only going to get…
Warm sunshine soothed by a chilled breeze this near-noon Thursday on California’s north coast, supposedly becoming overcast later today as rain is expected to arrive tonight and linger-around into Friday. The NWS doesn’t use the word ‘rain‘ in its forecast, however, instead opted for the less-wet, ‘Showers,’ to indicate precipitation levels. And today, of course, is…
Gray fog quickly displaced sunshine this Friday morning on California’s north coast — bright sunrise, which vanished into the ‘normal‘ mists of a thick marine layer. The sun is expected later, but for now it’s all gray matter. Words for brains: Today is April Fool’s Day in an attempt to change gray to black. Last…
In the black-comedy/traveling-horror show of the GOP, the actual set-piece of the production occurred last night. The vacuum idiot-stare of crazed ignorance tells the tale. (Illustration: Chris Christie’s lost look and Internet reaction found here). In first viewing, the clip from last night of The Donald’s victory pontification-gibberish appeared average for the asshole, same twisted…
Overcast with a chilly breeze this early Monday on California’s north coast, the morning flavored with an occasional flash of faded sunshine. Pretty much the picture for the next couple of days with a big block of rain forecast to start on Friday and last a few days — in the meantime, small spurts of…
