Crazy-ass world we now inhabit — although it’s wet and chilly this morning up here along California’s northern coast, the weather across the US is odd-ball at best. An indication is snow fall — last March, Chicago got some snow, but now have gone 281 straight day without the white stuff, while slightly to the…
Overcast with a drizzly fog this morning along California’s northern coast with rain expected some time later today. Winter here is wet, and can get cold, but considering other parts of the country, way-mild. And considering climate, the worse is yet to come — according to New Scientist, weather forecasts for the way-near-future are looking…
Another clear and cold morning here on California’s northern coast, and, another way-too-quick Monday. Despite a stream of news-worthy bullshit over the weekend, especially in the highly-mis-valued “fiscal cliff” category, the American Psychiatric Association has concluded “sexual addiction” disorder does not include ‘a person who has sex frequently.’ Yipee, I qualify for treatment! Shoot first,…
Cold and clear again this morning on California’s northern coast with more the same expected for the upcoming work-week. In with the unimpeded and out with the dumb-ass. Woke up this morning more on the frustrated side, just observing the obvious. Everyone should be aware of the ‘Danger, Will Robinson‘ syndrome as an insight into…
Using the old phrase most-easily this morning, ‘the sun came up like thunder,’ a clear and quick-explosion of light greeted the day here on California’s north coast — in the wake of last week’s way-wet storm surge, came also the first inklings of winter. Cold, clear and crisp, but without the rain. This area just…
Drizzling rain this morning along California’s northern coast, with a slight touch of some ground fog, but the air feels warm — which is what really counts. Wet and cold don’t mix. This morning’s storm has apparently ended its series run on a quieter note: “The winds will be much lighter than over the weekend.…
Winds are howling just a bit this early Tuesday morning along California’s northern coast, though nothing like last week, the noise is still an ominous weather rattling. And rain is now heard tapping, tapping against the roof, trying to build to the onslaught of those previous storms, but forecasters prediction nothing like it — some…
Best quote in awhile — Porn actress Nina Hartley’s comment upon meeting major hypocritical shithead John Hagee: “I wasn’t sure I’d encountered firsthand the banality of evil, but I’d gotten a solid dose of the evils of banality.” Quiet and warm this early Friday on California’s northern coast, but the softness of the environment is only…
Here it is, day three of the infamous Thanksgiving holiday blow-bust, and the crowning glory of the bird is yet to show. Landfill we come: The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that Americans throw away 35 percent of the turkey they buy, and that does not include bones. That’s compared to only 15 percent waste…
(Illustration found here). Clear and near-cold this Black Friday along California’s northern coast, and though there’s a chill in the air, the environment is most-comfortable — mainly because I’m staying away from any department stores today with a conceited vengeance. Business people, of course, love this particular day, always have — Bloomberg estimates shoppers will…
