Off this frightening news: MIT geophysics professor Daniel Rothman released new data on Monday showing that carbon levels today could be fast approaching a tipping point threshold that could trigger extreme ocean acidification similar to the kind that contributed to the Permian–Triassic mass extinction that occurred about 250 million years ago. … But the most significant…
Sprinkling sunshine this late-afternoon Monday here on California’s north coast, beyond some patchy-fog here-and-there, our daytime weather should supposedly stay this way for awhile. Although the NWS does forecast a 20-percent chance of showers tomorrow, we’re in summer mode along the coast, hence, no one really knows for sure the real shit. First dog run…
Tomorrow will be the 12th anniversary of the Great Recession’s fiscal origin moment: ‘On June 22, 2007, Bear Stearns pledged a collateralized loan of up to $3.2 billion to “bail out” one of its funds, the Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Fund, while negotiating with other banks to loan money against collateral to another fund,…
Bright sunshine and a cool breeze this early-evening Tuesday on California’s north coast — another good-as-it-gets episode. According to the Northern California Weather Blog, posted yesterday, there’s another High pressure system along the shoreline, making temperatures 5-to-10-degrees above normal, though, gusty north winds created a cooler feel to the air. Little River Beach with the…
Bright late-afternoon/early-evening Monday here on California’s north coast, closing another gorgeous episode of sunshine and warmth, but not too warm. Good dog run this morning at Little River State Beach — fog bound at first, then burn-off near-perfectly for a nice time. An opportunity to witness the T-Rump as an asshole douche in just a…
Overcast-gray this Friday evening with occasional faded-yellow sunlight shifting through — back to normal here on California’s north coast. This Sunday four years ago — June 16, 2015 — the T-Rump took that infamous, caricature-like, narcissistic escalator ride in Trump Tower, down he glided/slithered into shameful history. The artwork, ‘Basic Shapes,‘ by caricaturist/illustrator Chong Jit…
Darkly overcast to the east this Wednesday evening on California’s north coast, but sunshine still from over the ocean — near the end of another record-breaking day, as temperatures soared all over the area, triple digits inland, in the 80s along the shoreline. Little River Beach with the dogs was near-about-almost too hot… Off-weather question…
Sunshine and hot this early-evening Tuesday here on California’s north coast, balmy it be — the NWS reports 82-degrees right now in Arcata, and will supposedly stay way-warm until dark. Although not really what you’d call ‘hot,’ but for us coast people, it’s ‘sweltering.’ Yesterday from the Northern California Weather Blog: A high pressure ridge…
Still bright and warm this early Monday evening here on California’s north coast, a gorgeous sunshine day with a summer’s heat. Supposedly, 74-degrees forecast tomorrow for Arcata, triple-digits interior temps, and fairly-much the same through the rest of this week. Dog run to Little River Beach was hot… Also today in faraway DC, the US…
Sunny-bright and windy this early-evening Thursday here on California’s north coast, another good-as-it-gets day, with an added benefit of some sweeping sea breezes. Artwork, Pablo Picasso’s ‘Agonizing Horse’ (found here), is a bite into the horror of nationalism, an optimistic prediction of its downfall. In sequence, today marks 75 years since the D-Day invasion, June…
