Clear skies and bright sunshine this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — a preview for summer as temps kicked in at close to 80 degrees, though, a ‘cooling trend‘ is expected for tomorrow and Thursday. And proper, too, to celebrate the first day of Spring today — officially starts tonight at 11:06 PM…
(Illustration found here.) Overcast skies cool the air this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley as we’re entering a small respite for the next few days from the on-charging heat from the approaching summer days ahead. Temperatures are in the high 70s right now compared to the high 90s at the same time yesterday…
Sunny and still just after the noon hour here in California’s Central Valley — we’re in the low 80s right now and forecast for the 90s tomorrow as the full range of the season starts to become apparent as the summer heatwaves are upon us. There’s not much we can do about it. Except stay…
Sunshine-warm this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — another work week getting ready to bite the dust of time as 2023 continues to zoom on down the calendar road. As an add-on to my post from last Wednesday on an Antarctic ‘heat wave’ and the impact on sea-level rise and the overall climate…
Our environment here this late-afternoon Sunday in California’s Central Valley is the future of the right now — musty hot with a forest-fire tinge of burnt wood. In the real scheme of things, despite some heavy shit scattered over a wide subject area, our biggest, most-hugest problem is climate change. A crisis seemingly moving slow,…

In an attempt to escape the depressing horror show of America losing its democratic roots and way of life, let’s turn this afternoon to a way-bigger depressing horror show that will eventually eclipse all other problems, troubles and sources of ruin in all of history — climate change. I know it’s not as immediate as…
Not too hot this near-noon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — a spot of nice in a country heating up drastically, from LA to the desert-like southwest, further on eastward to the deep south, and then upwards into midwest America, all in a boiling sweat with temperatures way above normal. A precarious situation with…
(Illustration: Art by Matteo Farinella, written by Jeremy Deaton, and found here). Once again putting aside guns and war and nasty Republican asshole politics this early-evening Saturday here in California’s Central Valley, maybe focus for a moment on probably the biggest-by-far threat to humanity, coming faster, too, eventually to engulf everybody’s neighborhood — climate change.…
