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. Encapsulating the situation came via the visit with T-Rump yesterday by Japan’s PM Shinzo Abe — the Japanese are concerned by insanely-dangerous bullshit (CNN): ‘A top aide to Abe, Katsuyuki Kawai, said…
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. Not bright is T-Rump and climate change — US Secretary of State John F. Kerry, speaking at the UN climate talks in Marrakesh, pleaded with the orange-tinted asshole…
Sunshine briefly this Wednesday morning here on California’s north coast — bright gaps in an otherwise rolling weather system churning northward, bringing mostly just heavier-than-drizzle precipitation. And continuing to weather the T-Rump age — already lost in transition. Philip D. Zelikow, a former director of the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of…
Overcast and chilly this early Monday on California’s north coast — rain supposedly starting this afternoon, with the NWS forecasting in their All-Caps fashion, ‘PERIODS OF INCLEMENT WEATHER‘ for the next couple of days, meaning the old rain-on-and-off routine for awhile. And some gusty winds, too… Speaking of ‘inclement weather,’ one week ago today appears as…
Hints at sunshine still eastward behind a broken-overcast sky this early Friday on California’s north coast — rain expected this afternoon, and through the weekend. Veterans Day, and an oddball Friday ‘federal holiday‘ in a country recovering from a most-likely fatal stroke. A few days before the election, the Guardian published a most-observant piece on…
Bright sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — a great ambience-setter for Election Day 2016. And supposedly warm, too — yesterday was the hottest Nov. 7 on record in Eureka, topping 72-degrees, knocking down a nearly-20-year standing mark (Lost Coast Outpost). 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. And fading to black — a mass-chunk of US people express fear and loathing for this election cycle (New York Times):…
Gorgeous Tuesday afternoon here on California’s north coast — bright sunshine and a mild breeze, though, on the slightly-chilled side. Supposedly, clear until tomorrow night when maybe some rain, but no strong, wet-weather system forecast until the weekend. 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…
High overcast with occasional stretches of blue sky, but no sun yet. We’re supposed to be clear this afternoon… In living with natural weather, we’ve also had to ‘weather,’ as in ‘cope,’ with a terrifyingly-horrible presidential election cycle — all despite the reality.
