Bright sunshine sprinkled twixt clouds and fog along California’s north coast this Saturday morning, and onward into the weekend. Most of what humans do in order to continue civilization has great effect, even a small touch here could create calamity/catastrophe over there, produce strange, not-so-pretty shit. (Illustration found here). I vaguely remember reading a brief…
Clear and sunny this afternoon on California’s north coast — a mild-kind of chilly, though, which ain’t too bad. Nature is too weird even for smart people: When I heard about the aquifer, I had almost the same reaction as when we discovered Lake Vostok [in Antarctica]: it blew my mind that something like that…
A pleasant surprise this afternoon at my local Union 76 station — regular is at $3.69 a gallon, down six cents in three weeks, the last time I put gas in the Jeep. Despite a suicidal side-effect, we’re loving our oil. From the New York Times on Monday: The report predicted that the increase in…
Clear sunshine and warm this afternoon, though, not as nice as yesterday, but of course, yesterday’s gone — the sun is right now slipping down upon the Pacific up here along California’s north coast and shadows linger. We’re in the mid-50s range at present and apparently tipped 60 degrees sometime this afternoon. Warm after the…
Monday again and there ain’t much I can do about it — chilly and a bit overcast this morning on California’s north coast with a near-full moon (Waxing Gibbous, 99 percent illuminated) hanging majestically out over the Pacific Ocean. Weather is returning to about normal for these parts, but some US residents are still feeling…
Cloudless skies this afternoon on California’s north coast and abundant sunshine — but still a bit cold, but nothing like the past few days. We’re at about 53 degrees right now with a low tonight forecast to be well-above freezing. Enough weather, already. In the precarious events-cycle this PM, a quick surf indicates a semi-slow…
One great wonder of nature is a clear, clean and cold sunrise — here this Sunday on California’s north coast light approached in a ever-expanding wave of bluish-white. And did I say, cold? Record low temperatures all over the area last night and this morning, and bringing all the assorted frigid conditions these percolating icebox-like…
Clear and really-cold this early Wednesday here on California’s north coast with the air getting colder the closer to dawn. Away from the ocean and into the interior, temperatures could drop into the single digits, but even with us on the beach, it’s going to be a record-setting cold snap. However, since I leave for work…
Overcast and warm this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — looks like it might rain, but that’s just near-natural. Clouds, but no rain in the forecast — typical for up here. News movement in the PM is much-about the same as this morning, though, one item appears to be gaining momentum — the bewildering…
Cold and clear this hard-to-handle Monday — having some InterWebs problems for some reason this morning, but we’re trying again. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous this past few days up here on California’s north coast, with more of the same forecast for this week. Not so for a big chunk of the US —…
