Paul McCartney uncovered some photos he’d taken long, long ago: Although this bit of news might be old hat already (it was first revealed in January this year), McCartney’s photographs will be on display at London’s National Portrait Gallery starting at the end of this month. Reportedly, he took the pictures between December 1963 and…
While we wait for the slow-moving Senate to vote on the debt ceiling bill passed by the House yesterday — after some idiotic series of votes on amendments to the bill (all to fail) it will be featured for a full Senate vote this evening, with Chuck Schumer vowing to stay in session: ‘“We will…
Clear, bright sunshine and coolish temperatures in the shade this noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — does feel way-warm in the sun, however. Just another pre-summer, glorious day to enjoy before it’s too late. Meanwhile far to the east in New Hampshire this morning, the supposedly number-one not-Trump Republican aspirant for president revealed…
Sunshine galore and still on-the-cool-side temperatures this mid-day Wednesday here in Californnia’s Central Valley — a few more days of similar weather, where then the heat and bluster of summer will be upon us.

Sunshine and early-spring-like temperatures this near-midday Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — these days are the ones we’ll fondly remember in about another month or so. Or maybe earlier. I’ve got a feeling summer’s going to be a hot bitch, and not the good kind either. Also, a bitch still this morning is Ron…
Multi-whammy news day as politics got sadly tapped to the back burner by the death of a musical icon — all over the InterWebs cycle: Tina Turner passes at 83. She carried some talented weight for a long, long time on a number of brilliant levels. I’ve been infatuated with her since the early 1970s…
Sunny yet with cool temperatures this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — a most-pleasant daily episode as we await summer’s drastic measures.
