Heavy marine layer shrouds California’s north coast this Tuesday morning, with the weather services calling it ‘overcast,’ but here along the shoreline the moist-mist is basic fog. Supposedly, the effect is to last into the afternoon. Good news as there’s a fairly-decent chance of rain this Saturday, though, like all other pronouncements in that regard,…
Sunshine this Monday afternoon on California’s north coast with a fog bank drifting in place just down the street, creating cooler temperatures than yesterday — overall, however, we’re shooting mostly for good weather for awhile. In the context of shooting, hard to fathom the National Rifle Association actually existing, one of the most-horrid organizations in…
Seemingly unusually-warm, at least to me, this Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast — just a bit earlier, taking my daughter’s dog for her afternoon constitutional also carried a sense of close-to-hot. On a news surf just now, the Guardian‘s front page gave my shoreline-spot temperature as 83-degrees. I figured no-freaking-way. According to the Eureka…
Warm sunshine tempered by a chilled Pacific breeze this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, with nearly-clear skies and a sunny look to the weekend. In the ongoing enlightenment of the wonderous marijuana plant, another study on its health benefits, too. Via a news release from McGill University Health Centre last Tuesday: They found that…
Shocker and non-shocker: Another school shooting today at a community college in Oregon, reports currently differ on those killed, CNN says 10, NBC with 13, with more than 20 injured — the shooter, a 20-year-old kid was killed by police. In this latest horror, President Obama conveyed the sense: “Somehow this has become routine. The reporting…
Overcast with thick fog this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, and with the month of October, the fall season is apparently becoming more settled, with winter a short, hot-tamale away. Heat the chart-topper: According to WXshift, the autumn season for our shoreline region up here has been warming-up since the early 1970s — in…
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—…
Overcast skies highly-influenced by a persistent marine layer this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — a hint of sunshine every-once-in-awhile, but mostly just a gray landscape. Internal perkiness, though, is easily swallowed as today is supposedly National Coffee Day, albeit I celebrate it on all days ending in ‘y.’ Add to the caffeinated observance…
Crystal-clear with way-bright sunshine and a chilly air this Monday morning on California’s north coast and the next few days are forecast for the same. Supposedly, temperatures should be warmer today, but a cool Pacific breeze will keep the lid on any heat. Our view of last night’s “blood moon”-lunar eclipse was extraordinary as predictions…
