Just turning dark this early-evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley, a soft ending to a gorgeous day of sunshine and warm temperatures — we’re whiplashing daily between deep fog and clear skies, but at least there’s a break from the thick gray every other day or so. Weathering the weather is still a thingie.…
On top of all the other shit we got going, today/yesterday a big-ass volcano/earthquake: (Illustration found here).

Once again going beyond the horror of America’s one-sided democracy workshop, we are moved by another dire report on our collapsing environment and worsening life situation — one more heads-up to a code-red warning light for a five-alarm fire which already might be unextinguishable. A note on the subject: ‘About 71 percent of the Earth’s…
(‘Increasing Forest Fire Activity‘ (watercolor and colored pencil) by climate-change artist, Jill Pelto). Beyond the pressing business of political ugliness, our weather is still taking a climate-changing whiplash. Although today here in California’s Central Valley was again full-on sunshine and warm, the eastern US was a freezing, snowbound madhouse — the climate crisis is bad…
Just turning dark this Sunday evening here in California’s Central Valley, a beautiful, sunshine-splashed day with some chilly temperatures earlier, but got warm in the dazzling sun.
