Faded-yellow sunshine this early Monday on California’s north coast, the summer’s short wet season gone for at least til the end of the week, or longer. Supposedly an increasingly-warm few days, too — maybe 70-degrees or better by Friday. In light of violent death, these mass-killers cloak inherent intent in all kinds of bullshit. Thought-provoker…
Slight drizzle this early Friday on California’s north coast, feels like it’s drizzling rain all over the world. State of the killing union — via Dallas Morning News this morning: As they stood on the corner, a Dallas police officer came up to them and held out his hand. “You want a sticker?” he asked. It…
Sunshine, near-clear skies and some gentle ocean breezes this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast — a thick-looking fog bank hangs seemingly just to the northwest, but we’re not gray-covered as of yet. Experienced some laptop/InterWeb problems earlier, but a new modem fixed it — I’ve had the same one for more than eight years…
Overcast-foggy this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — occasional faded-yellow sunshine blinds, but quickly fades into gray. Chance of rain maybe on Friday, but the summer moves along… Last night sounded like a war zone.

Gray-overcast again this early Thursday on California’s north coast — sunshine supposedly later, but tempered with some expected gusty winds. Another day in the life… And ugly it can be — Donald Trump continues. A display of the overall repugnance of Republicans, this from Sen. Mike Lee of Utah: ‘“Hey look, Steve, I get it. You…
Deep-gray on California’s north coast this early Monday, and damp with patchy-drizzly fog — if trends continue, however, by mid-morning we should be awash with sunshine. Environmental concerns across the pond — amidst Britain’s Brexit chaos is the danger for climate research (National Geographic): ‘“It’s depressing, but the uncertainty doesn’t help,” says Philip Jones, research…
Bright sunshine once again this early Friday on California’s north coast, accompanied by a slight, cool breeze — apparently another beautiful day, ‘weather-wise.’ Otherwise, shit is piling-up in the corners. Yesterday, Britain voted to leave the European Union, and you-know-what has hit the fan, maybe in far-reaching ways. (Good nutshell of ‘Brexit‘ at FiveThirtyEight). Beyond the…
Fog mingled with low clouds overcast this early Monday on California’s north coast — a chilled ocean breeze indicates the marine layer is yuuge… Today, too, is the beginning of Summer Solstice, reportedly actually starting at 3:34 PDT this afternoon, and also supposedly the longest day of the year.
