Thickly overcast with just a slight sprinkle this near-noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, and although we got rain-hammered last night, hopefully, the most-potent downpour is gone for a while.

Blustery, boiling winds this mid-morning Saturday here in California’s Central Valley, as we’re on the leading edge of a supposedly massive winter storm just now crashing into the West Coast — so far, we’ve just mostly caught the wind (some right showers last night), but in a bit, maybe by early afternoon, we’ll catch the…

Splashy sunshine on a late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — a nice turnaround from drizzling rain this morning. Tomorrow now is just an evening away. We’re forecast for more rain on election day, which should do justice to the anxiety building, accelerating over the last week or so. Maybe for months, and from…
Cloudy this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — a preview of winter. And a change of pace with some music to serenade the anxiety building to Tuesday as so much shit from democracy to the actual, physical environs of our living spaces is on the line in the election. Shitty to have to…
Chilly with increasing sunshine here in California’s Central Valley this near-noon Wednesday. It should play out as another nifty autumn day as we approach the darkening gloom of winter in just a few short weeks. We should hold onto these fleeting good environmental episodes — as apparently not-nice shit is coming faster than we can…
Sunshine savored by a cool breeze this near-noon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, a welcomed turnabout from the awful summer heat, especially the blister from the last couple of weeks — temperatures right now in the mid-70s with maybe a high of 85 later on this afternoon.
