Lazy-warm late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — despite boiling-like scorching temperatures just about worldwide (especially tight now in the Eastern US), we’re experiencing a cooler-than-normal summer-into-fall transition, and it’s nice. Although our situation right now doesn’t necessarily mimic the reality of Earth — climate change is no-shit a full-bore danger upon us —…

Overcast and humid this near-noon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re awaiting the impact from former Hurricane Hillary, now categorized a tropical storm, in the maybe form of rain and wind.

Humid and hot this near-noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — hopefully this will be the final triple-digit days for at least a while as we venture into less warm episodes, though, in no way could it be categorized as anything approaching ‘cool,’ just less scorching.

Although it’s gotten really hot the last few weeks hereabouts, it’s been nowhere nothing…
Hot but so far bearable this Tuesday mid-day here in California’s Central Valley — we’re at or maybe just below 100 degrees, but sweetly assisted by a cool-feeling breeze, which however will most-likely simmer down before late afternoon into quiet, motionless, though well-heated air, thus allowing sunshine to straight-away bake all our brains, if of…
Quietly roasting this Sunday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley — we’re just at triple digits without much movable breeze to stir the heat away or at minimum create a non-searing glaze to the air as we continue to swelter in temps fairly normal for our time and area. Reportedly, maybe dropping below 100 (into…
Once again — like a broken record it seems — it’s hotter-than-shit this noon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley. And once again, too, we join a huge chunk of the rest of humanity. The earth is boiling in record temperatures from America’s sea-to-shining-sea and all across Europe, Asa, and beyond — the whole, entire…
