Bright sunshine, just a whisper of a breeze and warming-quickly-up temperatures this late-morning Friday here in Californai’s Central Valley — lately, we’ve gone from a ‘heat dome’ hot to the now-normal ‘summer sizzle’ for the region as triple-digit numbers continue to make outdoors near unbearable. However, I think we have a while to go before…
Super-shock to the system this Saturday afternoon. Snap-minimum update via The Washington Post: Former president Donald Trump was rushed off the stage at a campaign rally in Butler, Pa., about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh, after shots were heard near the beginning of the event. He put his hand to his right ear and ducked…
Hot, bright, and uncomfortable again just past the noon hour Friday here in California’s Central Valley — abnormal just a few years ago is now the daily normal.

Hot, heavy-thick air this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re right now at 104 degrees, with all indications tomorrow will be much higher (112) — and maybe working our way to the end of this nasty, cruel heat-domed influenced boil for the past couple of weeks.

The view from our political/media system is freaking f*cked. Despite ongoing contrary notion, The New York Times this morning tapped it out…
Awaiting the sound of fireworks this late-afternoon Thursday, July 4th, Independence Day, here in California’s Central Valley — explosions in stifling heat are wondrous. We’re sitting at 105 degrees right now with darkness and the fireworks still a couple/three hours away. In the wake of the SCOTUS immunity decision and subsequent shitstorm this week, and…
Blistering hot just short of the noon-hour Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, and has been the whine for days, we’re in the middle of a heat-domed boil burbling across not only my state but scalding the entire US southwest — records will fall (you can count on it) the next week or so. The…
In the sharp shape of modern American life, there’s always room for a real-good, high-pitched scream, and this morning is an example. Our SCOTUS just shit our country’s mess kit. Via The Washington Post: The Supreme Court held Monday not only that Donald Trump could not be prosecuted for official acts but that those acts…
