Intensely-thick gray skies this early Friday on California’s north coast, appearing as if we’re in some kind of cloud bowl, looking out — just some heavy rain apparently getting ready to come ashore.

Dark-gray overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and a bit of a chilly wind, too. We’re forecast for rain, 100-percent supposedly for tonight — looks gothic and gloomy right now.

In the parlance of close calls, American dodged one nasty, dangerous bullet in 2008. Last month, that projectile was actually a fist — Sarah Palin and her whole family got involved in a drunken brawl up yonder in Anchorage, Alaska, with shirtless fighting, slut shaming and all kinds of odorous activities.

Bright and shiny this early Sunday on California’s north coast, and from appearances already, another beautiful, warm one for us — might top 80-degrees maybe.
