New Year’s Friday

Heavy-overcast and chilly here this Friday morning along California’s northern coast, starting off the last weekend of 2012 — a year quickly, darkly. And don’t expect things to get better in three days — only worse. Faithful words via Mr. George Carlin: So the next time some asshole says to you, “I have a right to…

Grease

Another wet early-morn here on California’s northern coast and it appears it’s storming all over the US — back east, seven people have been killed, including two little children, as big winter-generated weather chaos churns through the region. And this is only the start to the cold season. In the overpowering ring of ugly in…

One Ammo clip in hand is better than two in the classroom

Raining again this morning along California’s northern coast — nothing to see here, let’s move along.

New bit of Americana: ‘active shooter scenario’

When a wee-young lad, I was subject to the now-ludicrous “duck and cover drills” in school where all us students practiced what to do in case of a Soviet nuclear attack. The whole scenario was way-stupid: The huge destructive power of hundreds of H-bombs along with the growing knowledge of the dangers of radioactive fallout…

Love’s Labor lied

Crazy-ass world we now inhabit — although it’s wet and chilly this morning up here along California’s northern coast, the weather across the US is odd-ball at best. An indication is snow fall — last March, Chicago got some snow, but now have gone 281 straight day without the white stuff, while slightly to the…
