The T-Rump is becoming more and more like an escapee from a mental institution, and today, rasped-out a true stupid: ‘In an ill-tempered series of tweets sent Thursday morning, he said he “had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected.”‘ Of course, a way-short-time later he tried to deny: ‘“You know who…
Overcast and gray this Wednesday evening here on California’s north coast — nice dog run about mid-day at Little River Beach, even experienced a bit of sunshine, which later evaporated into the color ash.

And warm, too, not much of a breeze. The NWS calls for ‘Showers‘ the…

(Illustration: M.C Escher’s ‘Scholastica (Full Moon),’ found here). Dark gray skies, overcast/low clouds,and a near-gloomy Saturday evening here on California’s north coast — rain forecast for Tuesday, so there’s that… Add to the ash-like attitude, a real-scary craziness of the T-Rump amplified in an interview published yesterday at CBC/Radio-Canada with Jonathan Greenberg, a journalist for…
Sunshine finally this late-afternoon Thursday on California’s north coast, though, chilled fog/low clouds for most of the day. In a month, more Americans figured the T-Rump ought to be impeached (Reuters this afternoon): The number of Americans who said President Donald Trump should be impeached rose 5 percentage points to 45 percent since mid-April, while…
Sunshine and breezy this Wednesday evening on California’s north coast — earlier, dog-walking at Little River Beach was also warm, too… House Speaker Nancy Pelosi this morning opened a mystery paradox, via Fortune: “Every single day, whether it’s obstruction, obstruction — obstruction of having people come to the table with facts, ignoring subpoenas,” Pelosi said…
