America is not immune to political/illegal shenanigans — and the criminal enterprise that was the T-Rump era in the Oval Office looks to have been the most corrupt, good-grief awful governmental operation in our history. And apparently, he became increasingly way-more villainous and ignorant toward the end. Here it is late in the afternoon, and…
Maybe some good news out of Ukraine this Tuesday morning — peace talks progressing and Vlad Putin’s incompetent, crazed army might lighten up to encourage a possible ‘off-ramp’ to the horror show: Details via CNN late this morning: Russia said it would “drastically reduce” its military assault on the Ukrainian cities of Kyiv and Chernihiv…
Rain and some wind this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central valley — some heavy downpour last night but just a few sprinkles most of today; was somewhat dense earlier this afternoon but didn’t last long.

Cloudy with rain showers on the horizon this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley.

Warm late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley as time continues unabated no matter the shitstorm. In just about every news crevice there’s a large wedge-like object keeping life in small tatters. Beyond the national horror of Republicans acting like cruel, tasteless buffoons — Ketanji Brown Jackson is a treasure — the war in Ukraine…
Bright sunshine and warm temperatures still this early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — another early hint of summer as it supposedly climbed into the 80s late this afternoon. Apparently, too much shit is going on as 2022 is rightfully hurdling right along — time flies when you’re having fun, amirite? One horrid, festered-sore…
Sunshine and warmth this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley. Spring has sprung so summer won’t be long in coming — words to weed. Meanwhile. Ukraine has tragic consequences beyond its borders. Today, UN Secretary General António Guterres, in a video address to a conference on sustainability run by the Economist newspaper in London,…
Clear and windy this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — winter’s officially over! Earlier this morning (8:33 AM PDT) there sprang the March equinox — also called the vernal equinox — and the first day of spring.
