Mostly-overcast on California’s north coast this early Thursday, though, on occasion a sharp-crack of bright sunshine floods the senses, drops a surreal shot of color, then disappears way-too quickly back into gray-gloom. Just the rainy season… And supposedly a good one, especially along the shoreline here, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor‘s weekly update, there’s…
Just when you figured the freaked-out plate was full, from global warming to ISIS to Trump/Palin, now comes the cash-flow event — from NASDAQ this afternoon: ‘The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 376 points, or 2.4 percent, to 15640, after earlier dropping as much as 565 points.’ Rapidly-tanking oil prices are sucking everybody down the drain-hole…
Sunshine this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, for a little while anyway, as the bright is buffered by decent cloud cover. Supposedly, a short break today with another ass-kicker rainstorm due tomorrow evening and into Friday — next nice, clear-weather day forecast maybe for Sunday. Nowadays, weather chit-chat ain’t idle. In a case of…
Overcast and gray this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast as real-rain has given way to misty drizzle and sparse sprinkles — the big storm supposedly for today was quiet for us along the shoreline. Forecasters call for a slight-period of semi-dry until Thursday. In another type respite, yesterday I put $20 worth of gas…
Overcast and getting darker this Monday afternoon on California’s north coast as we wait for another big rainstorm due anytime now — and reportedly some strong winds, too, to blow the wet all over everything. This whole week is scheduled for storm-after-storm, at least until Friday, but according to the NWS, no straight downpour: ‘There…
Overcast with fairly-strong wind gusts this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast we we get set to launch into another round of storm fronts. The NWS calls for one-to-three-inches of rain with winds maybe gusting up to 45 mph here along the shoreline for later today. As a single parent of five kids — four…
In my own personal history, one of the weirdest, disconcerting moments for me was when I first glimpsed David Bowie’s, ‘Diamond Dogs‘ album in a record store — a freaked-intellectual stare of madness right out into the open air — times were feeling strange. The summer of 1974 was way-extraordinary for me, and although not…
Update/Add-on, interesting related thingy below Overcast with some wisps of sunshine this early Friday on California’s north coast as we finish the first week of a new year. The NWS this morning echoes the season: ‘Slight chance rain, then rain likely.’ Rinse, dry-off, and repeat… Nearly-plain as the weather — how does ‘intelligence‘ effect ‘sense‘ in…
Sunshine on occasion this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, a bright-spot in between sprinkles and outright-rain. Another storm is due in on Friday, and according to the NWS, maybe the next sustained sunshine on Sunday. Beyond the new-normal, extreme-weather weirdness, another freaky-deeky concern is ‘normal‘ earth movements — last night we experienced a 4.3…
Cold, drizzling rain this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast and we’re expecting maybe some thundershowers later on toward evening. According to the NWS, we should catch a small break tonight and into early Thursday, but another round of wet weather due by the weekend — and then rinse, and repeat.
