Bright again and chilly this Friday morning on California’s north coast as we work our way toward the weekend. Rain is expected on Sunday and appears might last all through next week. Although mostly low ‘chance’ of rain, the forecast seems to indicate wet days ahead. Although it’s Friday the 13th, a mysterious object fell…
An encounter too-close of any kind. According to NASA: ‘Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) are comets and asteroids that have been nudged by the gravitational attraction of nearby planets into orbits that allow them to enter the Earth’s neighborhood.’ Quaint — and one of those NEOs is scheduled to give us a close-bypass tomorrow afternoon, and it’s…
Considered ‘partly cloudy’ just after the noon hour here on California’s north coast with maybe some sunshine for later. Rain forecast for the end of next week, but we’ll just wait and see… In the meantime, we’re up to our necks in what’s called ‘background ozone,’ and it’s not good. Via Capital Public Radio yesterday: Northern…
In a sense within my own personal space, cocooned as it were in time, knowingly-conscious right now in the nowadays, a reflective mirror via Miss Emily Dickinson: “Wonder — Is Not Precisely Knowing” Wonder—is not precisely Knowing And not precisely Knowing not— A beautiful but bleak condition He has not lived who has not felt—…
Sunshine burning-off the fog this Sunday morning on California’s north coast — clear sunrise earlier, but then a chilled-moist marine layer came cat-feeting ashore with thick vapor soup; now eastern skies are bright with sun, and today most-likely a repeat of yesterday as the fog bank melts away. Although the skies could get near-clear, the…
Overcast with occasional faded sunlight this afternoon, and feels a bit more chilly, too, than lately — the coastal fog bank seems to have hugged-tighter today, makes a huge difference. Also maybe a big difference tomorrow, and again, maybe not — Tuesday evening we’ll all receive an extra ‘leap second,’ due to a minor time desynchronization…
Overcast-gray this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast as we encounter another day in the life — supposedly either ‘mostly sunny,’ or ‘partly cloudy,’ depending upon which jaundiced eye is on the sky, and the time of day. Although we ‘down’ here won’t get the visual, but this from the NOAA this morning: ‘The geomagnetic storm that…
Bright and windy this afternoon along California’s north coast, coasting on through the week. Although a news addict, I didn’t spot this via NASA until this afternoon: ‘“Asteroid Icarus will safely pass by Earth at more than 21 times the distance of Earth to the moon on June 16. To put it another way, Icarus, one…
Overcast with thick-gray clouds this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, supposedly another episode in a mundane weather routine — fog tainted with sunlight, rinse and repeat. However, I do so-prefer here than the three-digit temperatures found in the interior, away from these shoreline breezes. We’ll top in the mid-60s today most-likely. Seems little Eddie…
Overcast once again this early Thursday here along California’s north coast, in a quiet, predawn dark — looks about the same as yesterday, fog-filled until it’s burnt away, sometimes not before late afternoon, and sometimes not at all. Summer along the shoreline… Due to my own sleep troubles/problems, I’m always on the lookout for shit…
