Election day 2021 with mostly all-eyes on the Virginia governor’s race, along with contests for mayor in Boston, Atlanta, Minneapolis, New York, and Buffalo (NY), with horrible one-sided races — Democrats want to govern, Republicans want to lie and whine about the evils of all kinds of shit without a thought on voters real concerns.…
Overcast with an occasional splash of faded-yellow sunshine this late afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — scary-boo night coming, so all is not well. And in a split-screen effect today, just as the meeting of the G20 in Rome ended, the UN’s 26th Climate Change Conference opened in Glasgow, Scotland, and the weight…
Skies will supposedly light up for Halloween this weekend thanks to a sun-stroked solar flare: (Video of yesterday’s solar activity found here). A bit of whimsy this morning in the face of ugly planet-bound news — a colorful sparkle for Sunday. Details via Space.com this morning: A massive solar flare from the sun could lead…
As we approach a year after the election, T-Rump’s push on the Big Lie continues to burn brightly and coupled with the shameless anti-democracy shenanigans of the entire Republican party puts America at the end of a short fuse — the assault on our constitutional government norms is led by a vile, horrid orange turd…

Partly cloudy with an occasional glimpse of sunshine here in California’s Central Valley — our version of the first big storm of the season was quick and short with hard rain ending this morning. Although we didn’t seem to catch the blunt impact of the system, we did see some heavy wet stuff earlier, and…
Sprinkling a bit this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley as we await the oncoming gush of rain off maybe the biggest set of storms to hit the state in years — some forecasts call for up to 10 inches in various areas with the north supposedly getting the full blast. Here in the…
A lot of DC news today, but most-likely one which will have repercussions both good and bad down the line if the way forward is through justice and accountability and not ‘sitting president’ bullshit. In a House vote, Steve Bannon was held to be contemptible: Details per The Washington Post late this afternoon: The House…

Overcast and maybe a bit on the warm side this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — rain could be coming. Meanwhile, up on the state’s north coast, a “bomb cyclone” system will strike this weekend, with advance…
