Closing in on sunset Saturday here in California’s Central Valley, bringing approaching darkness to another gorgeous day, though, some deep, wet fog earlier this morning was a bit problematic weather-wise, but it turned into a best-as-it-gets episode for this time of year. Rain forecast for tomorrow — however, just ‘showers‘ predicted, no heavy downpour or…
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…
A tight, chilly wind near sunset in California’s Central Valley this Sunday, drawing close to the end of another gorgeous day in a week-long respite from those ghastly atmospheric rivers. It’s been a time of drying out for our state and of counting the loss and the dry of a ‘whiplash weather’ pattern set to…
Occasional bright sunlight amidst thick, fluffy-white clouds this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, our second-in-a-row full day in a long time of luminous shine without any kind of a hint of rain. Although apparently, it did rain last night, the feeling today is near-awesome. Meanwhile, some shitty news — yesterday my daughter tested…
Another T-Rump White House tell-all book offers up the starling news the Orange Turd is a horrible, horrible human being and way-fucking mentally disturbed. Surprised? Of course not. Yet it’s still way-unbelievable that this mean, nasty, unhinged asshole was the most powerful man on earth for four years, and how we all dodged any number…
In the downer toilet-flush of a Friday news dump, I’ve gone to do a bowl — pipe bowl, that is. Here are some cannabis/marijuana news bits to refresh the mind to what ails it outside of just about every fucking thing. Marijuana has been a part of my life for more than 48 years now…
(Illustration: ‘Eye,’ by MC Escher (1946), a ‘mezzotint,’ and found here.) A stroll through some science items this early-evening Saturday, in an effort go beyond just climate change news on the research/study front — plus I couldn’t work-up much of an interest from the news cycle today. As been stated before I’m sick, near-to-the-point of…
Despite all the vaccinations and safety protocols, the COVID virus has turned into a bitch, apparently mutating into various variants that make it hard for everybody/anyone to escape its touch. Here in California (as in many parts of the country), we’ve got a current surge that might top last winter’s Omicron outbreak. What’s happening? Kent…
Along with earth experiencing blistering heat coming from a blistering sun, some more ugly news might also be on the agenda today with a possible major solar flare/storm striking our planet, hopefully, low on the danger zone with maybe some device disruptions and some great night skies. Although it’s pointed toward today it could happen…
Despite knowing this was coming for weeks, SCOTUS decision today was still shitty as shit can be and puts America in the fucked-up category worldwide. Healthcare is below gun care — via a stinging editorial this morning from the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine: Experience around the world has demonstrated that restricting access to…
