Despite some decent news today at the COP26 gathering in Glasgow, Scotland, the end results of this UN conference on climate change is up in the polluted air with a draft agreement looking good now, but shitty later — from The Washington Post this afternoon: The…
(Illustration found here). Despite a shitload of all kinds of nefarious events gripping like a snapping turtle at the brain, climate change continues to look like a horror story coming alive, as I’d bemoaned before, we’re watching the end of the world on our laptops. COP26, now in its second week in Glasgow, Scotland, has…
Couple of important, and deadly news stories this Monday morning (among a shitload, I know), which paint a terrible future. First and most immediate — COVID is now indeed a Red beast: (Illustration: Source: New York Times database, Edison Research; and found here). A real, hardcase reason we’ll seemingly never get rid of COVID, at…
Sunshine coupled with cool breezes makes for a fall-like late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — near perfect for tomorrow’s fall-back day. Meanwhile, on the subject of climate and its corresponding weather, COP26 continues in Glasgow, Scotland, where today there was more excitement and news from outside the conference rooms as thousands took to…
In an attempt this late-afternoon Tuesday to stay away from news on the Virginia governor’s race (too anxiety-like depressing), and the sad shenanigans in DC (Asshole Joe Manchin being an asshole, also down-deep depressing) as Joe Biden’s agenda and America’s future goes kaput, and latched onto some new shit on another depressing subject — climate…
Overcast with an occasional splash of faded-yellow sunshine this late afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — scary-boo night coming, so all is not well. And in a split-screen effect today, just as the meeting of the G20 in Rome ended, the UN’s 26th Climate Change Conference opened in Glasgow, Scotland, and the weight…

On the eve of the UN climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland, our environment is reeling from one catastrophe to another with recent studies painting an ominous, dire future picture of our one-and-only planet. In the look-alike squabbling taking place…
Sunshine and clear skies this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley as we return to normalcy after a brief-flair of a storm this weekend and yesterday — many parts of the state were slammed by heavy downpour and wind with record rainfalls recorded in several spots, but the Valley pretty-much missed the boat. However,…

I know, I know there are murderers out there, rapists, child abusers/pedophiles, killers in mass, yet most of these-pieces-of-shit are hopefully confined to a small space of horror-infliction and not in a…
Sprinkling a bit this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley as we await the oncoming gush of rain off maybe the biggest set of storms to hit the state in years — some forecasts call for up to 10 inches in various areas with the north supposedly getting the full blast. Here in the…
