A quick skid off the rails this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — hot again, so what’s new. Maybe a bit off the beaten path for a couple of items, both a look at self-serving assholes, both creepy, both dangerous. First, a robot displays side effects of humanoid-like devices keeping the machine’s idea…
Another end to another workweek this Friday early evening and the start to a couple of days to reboot. A post on reflection about the TV audience for those Jan. 6 hearings — the last in the original series last night, supposedly more hearings most likely set for September as more evidence and testimony fill…
We’re warming up this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — another hot day already, yet it’s become normal for the time. Later this afternoon, triple-digit temps are supposedly scheduled, but since this has been a long hot streak, we’ve used to the heavy air blister, and know to stay inside. If we had…
Summer continues this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley. — hot but soothed by a gentle breeze, making it not really all that unpleasant in the shade. As we await the start of the Jan. 6 hearing this evening, I doomscrolled the InterWebs and amidst the shit-stories from all over, I did encounter some…
Despite all the vaccinations and safety protocols, the COVID virus has turned into a bitch, apparently mutating into various variants that make it hard for everybody/anyone to escape its touch. Here in California (as in many parts of the country), we’ve got a current surge that might top last winter’s Omicron outbreak. What’s happening? Kent…
Another melting-away heat episode this near mid-day Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, with sunshine full-on hot and temperatures slated for triple-digits. Although it’s already hot as shit, we’re not alone as waves of unprecedented high temps are spiking across the globe in a fierce display on the cutting edge of a way-sweaty-steamy future for…
Along with earth experiencing blistering heat coming from a blistering sun, some more ugly news might also be on the agenda today with a possible major solar flare/storm striking our planet, hopefully, low on the danger zone with maybe some device disruptions and some great night skies. Although it’s pointed toward today it could happen…
Hot but not yet unpleasant near mid-day Monday here in California’s Central Valley, the big plus-factor is a nice breeze, which keeps the firestarter temperatures down a notch or two. Once that gentle wind evaporates, though, the air will get heavy as shit with a heat that will be near-impossible to handle. We’re forecast for…
Boiling hot this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — right now nearing 6 PM PDT and it’s 108 degrees with evening and darkness just a short burst of heated time away. Real-hot times. This morning started hot and it has stayed hot as shit on an anvil all day. In this atmosphere, the…
Another scorcher near mid-day Friday here in California’s Central Valley — one in a week’s worth of hot, blistering heat across the western US as the summer of 2022 continues unabated. Although we haven’t had the smoke skies yet, not far away from my location, giant sequoias in Yosemite National Park are burning in a…
