Seasonal heat fills this way-warm late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — this might be the actual, real first day of summer, though, the official first day is still an exact week away. Temps going up from here on out — that’s the start mark. Also on the mark, the aftermath of T-Rump’s arraignment…
(Sketch-image of T-Rump in court by Jane Rosenberg/Reuters, and found here.) Although scenes today of the T-Rump entourage in Miami appeared at first look as normal, low key and, maybe, a bit bland, but in reality the scene was surreal as shit. One of the most despised, despicable, dipshit assholes on the planet took a…
Smokey-overcast this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — warm, and seemingly a bit humid, too. Meanwhile, how do you handle what you don’t know? In the T-Rump indictment case, as he rolled into Miami today to await the perp walk scheduled for tomorrow, Republicans of every stripe, from Congressasses to sidewalk MAGA hatters,…
Overcast again this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — under skies without much sunshine, the temps are lower than normal as summer heat keeps being pushed further and further back into the short-range future. However, we’ll gladly take all the time we can before our seasonal air boiler gets really cranked up, supposedly…
End of the work week this late-afteroon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — yet just the beginning of the weekend and T-Rump’s nasty, shitty little dance with the law.

Wow, step away from the InterWebs for a couple of days — my son made a wonderful surprise visit and I had no time to post, or even barely follow the news — and the shit hits the fan. T-Rump was indicted by the DOJ in a mass of charges, 37 in all, on the…
(Illustration found here.) Overcast skies cool the air this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley as we’re entering a small respite for the next few days from the on-charging heat from the approaching summer days ahead. Temperatures are in the high 70s right now compared to the high 90s at the same time yesterday…
Another attempted swipe against reality this Sunday afternoon with a serenade of some sort of sound — today it’s music in a reflection of our conundrum made up nowadays that’s really not a mystery nor an enigma, but obvious and dangerous and frightening. Yet also includes a sensual aspect, easing the voyage. However, before we…
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…
