The surrealistic nightmare called T-Rump continues, just this morning he nominated three assholes for top-tier jobs in his administration, and has self-created a fake-news presidency.

Clear and chilly this Thursday morning on California’s north coast — sunshine way-bright. A long cycle of rain storms starts tomorrow, so I must enjoy the ‘shine.

Even national weather will ‘keep the mood positive‘ at polling spots across…
Heavy-duty marine layer this dawn Friday on California’s north coast — the fog thick and wet, and eased about by a chilly breeze. Supposedly ‘Sunny‘ today, but right now the world is gothic gray.

Enjoy… One week from today however, just-about any enjoyment will vanish — a presidential election of historic…
Halloween in the late afternoon and raining — frightful times all around. An Op/Ed yesterday in the LA Times by Leo Braudy, professor of English and American literature at USC, focused on the ‘monster‘ aspects of this crazed election cycle — key note: The monster strategy, with its shorthand depictions of dread and terror, has a…
