(Illustration: ‘President Trump,’ by Jonathan Bass, found here). An outstanding Thursday here on California’s north coast, bright, warm sunshine and clear skies for just about all day, and now in early evening, a bit of the winter chill, but nice outside. Rain still forecast for tomorrow, and accordingly drizzle/showers/rain through the middle of next week.…

Cloudy and a bit chilly this Monday evening on California’s north coast, dark and overcast all day, though, some faded-weak sunshine appeared later in the afternoon, and more sun forecast for tomorrow — decent rain storm scheduled to start on Friday, supposedly lasting…

In a short little time frame, we did get some sunshine in mid-afternoon, but the bright spell didn’t last long. Pretty cold, though… Another aspect of cold is…
Cold and bright this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast with lots of sunshine, but chilled-out temperatures — high supposedly just 51 and down close to freezing temperatures last night, and probably again tonight. No rain forecast until a week from tomorrow… Way-way ahead of its time — sadly ‘only‘ two years ago: Some old near-forgotten…
(Illustration: Edvard Munch‘s ‘The Scream,’ lithograph version, found here). Dark and gloomy this Thursday evening here on California’s north coast, in the middle of a two-day storm, rain and lightening this morning, sunshine this afternoon — the second half of this weather encounter supposedly tomorrow with more rain and thunderstorms. Next week’s forecast is sun,…

As far as our environment goes, it’s getting way-close to the now-or-we’re-fucked point — the Guardian yesterday: The study found that if all fossil fuel infrastructure — power plants, factories, vehicles, ships and planes — from now on are replaced by zero-carbon alternatives at the end of their useful lives, there is a…
Dreary, outside a bit of waiting-for-the storm weather this mid-day Wednesday on California’s north coast — the sky a deep and seemingly up-close ash-white, dusted with blustering winds, slashed on occasion by rapid-fire drizzle-droplets, heavy with anticipation. Yet the air cuddled within a pleasant warmth — all ominous ingredients for a bigly disturbance a-coming. Reportedly,…
(Illustration: M.C Escher’s ‘Three Spheres II,’ found here). Faded-yellow sunshine — a surprise — this late-afternoon Tuesday on California’s north coast, as we were expecting some rain, though, there was a drizzle much earlier, the skies have been fairly dry. Big storm, however, expected starting tomorrow — check out the NWS dramatic forecast: ‘Gale force…
Early-evening Sunday here on California’s north coast, another gorgeous day with sunshine and warm temps (or the lack of hardly any wind) all day long — again to the dunes with the dogs, and then some house cleaning — a good time had by all. (Illustration: Artwork by illustrator and portrait painter, Tim O’Brien, found here).…
(Illustration above: M.C Escher’s ‘Scholastica,’ found here). As the work-week comes to a close this Friday evening, the natural momentum of our terrifying times-of-history doesn’t have weekends off, so the ruthless grind of weird shit will keep on trucking — an iconic phrase there, ‘keep on trucking,’ first poised in the jazz-music scene of the…
