Once again, Argentina doesn’t cry: Something moronic and oafish comes our way, represents us on a literal world stage: After pausing for a couple photos, Trump is seen on video shaking Macri’s hand and then walking off stage. Macri tries to beckon him back, to no avail, and an aide is seen pursuing the confused…
Another Monday here on California’s north coast, and another lark of sorrow — the T-Rump’s hard-headed, bat-shit-crazy take on that devastating climate-change report from last Friday (HuffPost): “I don’t believe it,” he told reporters outside the White House before boarding Air Force One for a flight to Mississippi. The president also attempted to place the…
Insult to injury sort of, climate change continues unabated — new report yesterday on greenhouse gases from the World Meteorological Organization Bad bottom line per Common Dreams: “The last time the Earth experienced a comparable concentration of CO2 was 3-5 million years ago, when the temperature was 2-3°C warmer and sea level was 10-20 meters…

Cloudy, foggy, smokey here on California’s north coast this Tuesday evening — all the characteristics of the state right now, the natural tempered with some terrifying wildfires raging both north and south. Amazing how and where smoke can travel… A crazed wildfire of horror in DC — Rolling Stone talked to some mental health professionals…
Way-appropriate emotional point on this eve of the big-bang Ballot Day:: Just the gut feeling — you want to feel optimistic, you want to lean-into the wondrous polls calling for a Blue Wave, but the anguish-horror of failure — if Republicans keep the House, and Senate, or even if the midterm is a return to…
Orange-tainted air this early evening Monday, Labor Day, here on California’s north coast, and still fairly warm. Weird weather continued today, heat persisting, even shrouded in a fog-like overcast of low-clouds infected with smoke off forest fires all over the Northwest — two biggies, one in Siskiyou County, another over in Trinity County, is fueling…
Overcast mingled with patchy ground fog this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast — short weather version, ‘AM Fog/PM Sun,’ reflects our normal in the face of extremes elsewhere.
