Sunshine in a near-cloudless sky this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley. And continuing so, the T-Rump indictment in the Stormy Daniels hush-money case is still exploding across the InterWebs. There’s no Friday news dump that could upset the rolling on-it-track train of T-Rump finally getting some kind of justice for 50 years of…
Sunshine in between large, fluffy clouds this late afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — supposedly no rain featured on the weather front for at least 10 days or so. Hip-hip-hooray. And in the hip-hip-hooray category and as the entire InterWebs has gathered — the T-Rump was indicted this afternoon in the Stormy Daniels…
Drizzling rain this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — it’s been gray just about all day (a little poetry, there) with a bright streak of sunshine around noonish, then back to overcast, finally at near dark, rain again. Another post-thingie on guns and mass shootings and why we can’t collect some common sense…
An outside gray environment complete with some steady rain this late afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — supposedly wet only today and tomorrow, then we’re back to some sunshine for at least a week before any more rain is on the schedule. In a vernacular, emotional twist of rain that’s sad — the…
Clear skies and sunshine galore this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley. One of those as-good-as-it-gets kind of days — bright and warm. Against that particular grain of bright and warm as the events this morning at an elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, blows the air out of that dreamy balloon — another freaking,…
Clear-blue skies and a shitload of sunshine this midday Friday here in California’s Central Valley — a bit of a cold wind, though, but still way-enjoyable more than an avalanche of atmospheric rivers that’s poured onto the state the last couple of months. A dozen ARs since December to make a fine weather point with…
Today is the first day of Spring 2023, and also the 20th anniversary of the Iraqi invasion. (Illustration: US Marines in northern Kuwait assembling to invade Iraq; photograph found here.) How those two events combine is anyone’s guess. On March 20, 2003, the US did a bad, bad thing. And despite a shitload of people…
Overcast and warm this late afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central valley — rain expected tomorrow, or maybe even tonight, but supposedly (hopefully) not as disastrous as in the immediate past. Less than a week, reportedly, and we’re back to sunshine again. Probably the big story today occurred this morning — and I’m sure you’ve…
Sunshine and warm temps this late afternoon Friday in California’s Central Valley — another most-gorgeous day. In the opposite direction, another spin here into the upcoming 20th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq — on Monday marks the shit point where a lot of ugly history started, and the repercussions continue right into the right…
Clear skies and tons of sunshine this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — a nice respite from all the rain, snow, and just plain shitty weather. The situation reportedly back to the norm on Sunday when more rain is forecast to wet-on the region again. Enjoy while we can. Beyond the horror politics…
