Latest update on the still-evolving disaster of Fukushima: ‘Interestingly, researchers found that instead of outright killing or obviously harming organisms, the low-dose radiation effects were insidious. In rice, for instance, low level gamma radiation in Fukushima Prefecture began to alter healthy seedlings on a genetic level in only three days, hampering the activation of self…
Foggy and chilly this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we wind-down the work week — seemingly, not fast enough, though. We closing in on the weekend, but at a snail’s pace. In a couple of weeks, I will ‘retire’ (“…do not think it means what you think it means.”) and what happens next…
Blanket fog again this Sunday on California’s north coast — and if the shit remains the same (and it’s forecast to do so), in a couple of hours, sunshine and a cool ocean breeze. Conditions that make for a nice afternoon. An absolute-not-so just a few feet inland. Beyond the coastal environs, which could be…
High overcast and some ground fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — dark and quiet. A normal, natural cover for us, but a blanket on stargazing, and catching a fleeing glimpse of the Delta Aquarid meteor shower going on right now, supposedly popping down to earth 15 to 20 meteors an hour, if…
Here we are with another Monday, and the last two days are just a much-faded memory — seems last Friday afternoon is now just a finger-snap in the past. This coming Friday? Way-the-fuck down the road. Madeleine Albright yesterday responded to Bob Schieffer’s question on how uniquely screwed is the world right now: “We all…
Overcast and way-dark this early Friday on California’s north coast as we look forward to the weekend, now within earshot. Hairy week past with airplanes falling out of the sky at an alarming rate — blown up or just blew up, a horror by any other name. And what’s really hairy is the misplaced fountain…
Foggy and chilly this way-too-early Monday on California’s north coast as the weekend officially comes to an abrupt end without much fanfare. An ugly morning is a Monday. And speaking of pure ugly — on Friday, US House GOPers passed a ludicrous, dumb-ass business tax-cut measure ‘with no effort to pay for or offset that…
Ground fog and a bit warm this way-too-early Monday on California’s north coast as another work week starts whether we like it or not — not! Those last two days appear much-much shorter than those other ones — why? The weather up here has been super great the last month, and the upcoming week appears…
A foggy and chilly Saturday morning on California’s north coast — normal as the word ‘standard.’ Last week, as anyone paying just a gist-amount of attention would know, results from a Quinnipiac University National Poll showed President Obama the worse US president since WWII, and also included this question to respondents: How much of the…
Another normal early-morning here on California’s north coast — foggy and a bit warm even for the middle of the work week, though, this particular Wednesday is sucking up this nation’s birthday. Friday is the famous July 4 — our Independence Day (with aliens, too, but of the Hispanic variety) — but Arthur might strike…
