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.

A hazy-white glow peaks light from the east, filtered by high, wispy clouds, and so far a weather-facsimile from yesterday. Warm the word just about all day Thursday, so maybe we’ll get some of the same today — all way-good. And further…
