Clapper Claps (Another) Cop-Out

Ground fog and damp this way-too-early Saturday on California’s north coast — seemingly the most-dead time zone of all, that period of deep quiet and isolation marking a weekend’s pre-dawn hours. Everybody else most-likely asleep, like normal folks. In the wake of a federal appeals court ruling last week the NSA’s mass collection of phone…

Gas Melt

Overcast, gray and a bit on the chilly side this afternoon on California’s north coast. Sunshine aplenty this morning, all gone now.

Although not a ‘new‘ environmental…

So far into this new year, the weather up here has been pretty delightful — some days warm and clear. Wind makes…

Slow Load

Bright and bold this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast, with the wind giving the air a crisp, spring-snap here not too far from the Pacific. Not-too-much of a snap earlier this morning — in fact, there was no loading to snap. As I later learned, my Internet provider’s apparatus apparently encountered some kind of…

Solar Flare

Overcast with scattered drizzle this Saturday here on California’s north coast — some weak, pale sunshine occasionally does temper the air, so it ain’t all bad. Rain coming this afternoon, supposedly pretty heavy by morning and on into Sunday. Short-lived, though, as the system is expected to be gone before Tuesday. A sort of news…
