Thinly overcast with an occasional sliver of faded-yellow sunshine this late afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — deep, glaring sunshine earlier, but the outside all dwindled down to a brownish-gray ambiance as we’re getting now closer to evening. Tomorrow’s slated for a return to full sun, so we’ll wait and see. Despite other…
Drizzling rain this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — it’s been gray just about all day (a little poetry, there) with a bright streak of sunshine around noonish, then back to overcast, finally at near dark, rain again. Another post-thingie on guns and mass shootings and why we can’t collect some common sense…
An outside gray environment complete with some steady rain this late afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — supposedly wet only today and tomorrow, then we’re back to some sunshine for at least a week before any more rain is on the schedule. In a vernacular, emotional twist of rain that’s sad — the…
Clear skies and sunshine galore this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley. One of those as-good-as-it-gets kind of days — bright and warm. Against that particular grain of bright and warm as the events this morning at an elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, blows the air out of that dreamy balloon — another freaking,…
Sunset to another gorgeous day here this early-evening Tuesday in California’s Central Valley — we’re drying out in style. According to predictions, rain maybe this weekend, so all is clear until then. An update on my COVID situation, now approaching a full week. My daughter tested positive again today, so the wait continues. She appears…
Grayish-cloud overcast this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — and way-cooler, too, then the previous few days. Supposedly, we’re in a small cool space until next week when the fire of summer is rekindled again. I don’t look forward to the next 90 days or so, weather/environment/outside ambiance is concerned, and not just…
Overcast and breezy but still hot as heck this early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley. Away from the InterWebs for a good while today, I didn’t catch the initial reports of a law enforcement clusterfuck in the handling of the massacre Tuesday at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Tx, and then during my afternoon…
Cool and comfortable this mid-day Thursday here in California’s Central Valley as apparently-obvious we’re into the autumn season — if only it stayed this way. Winter, however, is now one day closer. Dying in the US has taken a sizeable upswing the last couple of years, not only with the COVID pandemic, but we as…
Once again today the continued aftermath-horror of an insane plague infecting our country — California Gov. Gavin Newsom earlier in the afternoon: “It begs the damn question, what the hell is going on in the United States of America? What the hell is wrong with us? When are we going to come to grips with…
Overcast with occasional faded-yellow sunshine this early Friday on California’s north coast. Started drizzling on-and-off last night, continued on into the right now. Despite the gray, most-likely another nice day ahead for this little section of the Pacific Ocean shoreline. An approach to handling Orlando — Max Lenderman, CEO of School, observed this morning: ‘‘There’s…
