Overcast and chilly this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — supposedly a break today from continuous rain the last few days, and tonight, maybe tomorrow, a big river-express storm should precipitate perpetually for a good while. Seemingly, planet earth has gone topsy-turvy with violence, even beyond a cruel norm — yesterday there were two fatal…
Drizzling rain this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — we’re supposed to catch a short break this afternoon and tomorrow before another river of rain is expected by Thursday and on through the weekend. Meanwhile, Boston had the heaviest one-week snowfall in its history, more than 40 inches — average for a whole winter, 47…
Steady rain this early Monday on California’s north coast — been banging hard since the wee hours, and doesn’t seem to want to lessen up a bit. Although one forecast calls this morning ‘cooler‘ than yesterday, the air definitely feels warmer. Both US coasts are about to get weather-hammered — back east it’s an Arctic…
As the earth continues to warm, oceans especially, the higher temperatures create strange, sometimes horrible glitches in the system, the natural order of living is thrown out of whack — up here along Humboldt County’s shoreline, we’ve also seen the effects. Along with the “sea star wasting syndrome,” a disease attacking ‘star fish‘ in Pacific waters…
Overcast with a sense of rain in the air — early Sunday here on California’s north coast is quiet with just a hint of bright coming from the east, a narrow slice just below the clouds. Seemingly, rain is indeed in the forecast, though, only a ‘chance‘ today, and a bit more maybe tomorrow, but toward…
Sarah Palin has always been the poster-gal for bat-shit crazy, which lead obnoxiously to fame and reality TV, but her trademark aura of non compos mentis has finally lost its fruit flavor. Last week, via the Guardian: Sarah Palin’s eccentric speech to a Republican conference in Iowa last weekend, which has been criticised even by…
Thick, gray clouds, hanging low this early Friday on California’s north coast — and a bit on the cold side, too, with a slight, chilled breeze. Supposedly, though, we’re to receive heavy sunshine sometime today, and on into tomorrow, maybe rain by late Sunday. Weather forecasting, however, and like a lot of other assorted shit,…
One sort-of bright light amongst the dark — car wrecks are claiming less Americans, but it’s still economics. Via SFGate: ‘The riskiest models also were mostly lower-priced, small cars, while the safest models were all mid-sized or large vehicles.’ Chances of dying in a car crash fell a third over three years, but that’s in…
Cloudy and a bit on the chilled side this early Thursday on California’s north coast — supposedly another ‘partly cloudy/sunny’ day expected. Responding yesterday to marijuana not being ‘more dangerous than alcohol,’ President Obama’s AG nominee Loretta Lynch nit-twitted: ‘“Well, senator, I certainly don’t hold that view, and don’t agree with that view of marijuana…
Partly cloudy and still this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast — enough sunshine, though, to maybe make it also more-than partly sunny. Despite my first sense earlier this afternoon while attempting to catch a nap, I dozed off to sleep — that initial reaction came from a weird feeling, and a perception of earthquake.…
