’30 Seconds Closer to Midnight’

Beautiful Friday morning here on California’s north coast, glaringly-bright sunshine and barely any wind makes for a most-comfortable environment. Although such weather could lull one into thinking all is good with the world, but one would be so fucking wrong. Hillary Clinton nailed it last July: ‘“A man you can bait with a tweet is…

T-Rump Gags

Overcast-gray and chilly this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and beyond the cloud layer, supposedly no decent rain till next week. Despite weird weather, T-Rump yesterday okayed the Keystone XL and Dakota Access projects: ‘“We will build our own pipeline, we will build our own pipes, like we used to, in the old days.”‘ An…

Guarding a Hot Hen-House

As we’re pelted with cold, way-wet gusty winds here on the North Coast, the way-outside world is getting warmer, still. Just this morning at Scott Pruitt’s Senate confirmation hearing came this from T-Rump’s choice to the head the EPA: ‘“My personal opinion in immaterial.”‘ Near-about at the same time, the NASA and NOAA ‘jointly declared 2016…

Lamenting the Deplorable

Slivers of faded-yellow sunshine this early Thursday on California’s north coast — big rainstorm due this afternoon, and will supposedly drench-over into all day tomorrow. Weather the system, but not the climate — an unpresidented gloom in the T-Rump atmosphere: It is about the candidate who was picked as president by the electoral college on Monday.…

Solstice of Winter’s Discontent

Crystal-clear with bright sunshine this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and cold, too. Frosted rooftops in the neighborhood this morning as temps right now just a few degrees above freezing. No rain until sometime tomorrow afternoon, decent-sized storm expected, though.. Today is also the ‘Winter/December Solstice,’ which actually occurred at 2:44 AM, and “officially”…

Raining Reality

Overcast with occasional sunshine this early Monday on California’s north coast, as more rain expected starting tonight. Even as the Electoral College does its shitty thing today, T-Rump and climate change don’t mix — especially with the midlands of the US now engulfed in a winter where temperatures are below -50°F at times. Warmth bringing…
