Overcast with a sharp-chilly wind this Thursday morning on California’s north coast — maybe more rain today, but the chances are slim. We did get some good totals from that last couple of days, especially here on the shoreline were storms can pass right over us. According to the NWS preliminary rainfall totals, my little town…
Dark-thirty still this Sunday morning on California’s north coast — fog dwells deep around streetlights, and life is way-freaking quiet. Time really flows away writing a post for my blog here — right now it’s a little after six o’clock, probably near an hour away from first light, and most-likely will be eight, or nine…
Overcast still, but no rain showers, though, dark as shit in the early afternoon. Modern life sometimes appears asshole-contradictory — Cheetah this: A study found that the violence displayed by chimpanzees was not caused by human disturbances, but rather the behavior is innate to the species. We don’t corrupt everything on this planet, just mostly…
Sharp, peek-a-boo sunshine this Thursday morning here on California’s north coast, with some thick-shadowed clouds lurking about — we’re forecast for more rain today, mostly in the AM, but this being a narrow shoreline zone, weather can become ordinary-irregular real quick, though, we’re predicted to get maybe a tenth-to-quarter-of-an-inch. The only early rainfall count I…
Sunshine this early Tuesday is filtered by what weather folks call ‘haze,’ but it’s just low clouds blocking a bright morning here on California’s north coast. Just a little bit ago skies were clear. We be robbed of a rare, thunderous sunrise — shoreline shifts sometimes suck. And more fire in the air — in…
Warm and comfortable this afternoon on California’s north coast, but way-warm just about everywhere else out here. The LA area is excepting a heat wave this weekend, temperatures in triple digits — this on the heels of exceedingly warm. From the LA Times: The first eight months of 2014 were the warmest on average in…
Dawn was clear and bright, but fog arrived silently to steal the thunder. Another Friday here on California’s north coast and this morning keeps the weather pattern alive — bright and warm early on, then sunshine and a brisk-chilled wind in the afternoon. As there’s already a shitload of crap news caused by asshole earthlings,…
Sunny with a touch of overcast skies this early Thursday on California’s north coast — could be another start to a most-beautiful day. Yesterday turned out warm and gorgeous. Today, though, is the 13th anniversary of the terror attacks on New York’s World Trade Center, the Pentagon in DC, and the crash of an intended…
Bright and way-sunny this Wednesday morning here on California’s north coast — rare type of wake-up, but due to my sleeping problems, I slept until well after sunrise and missed the dawn coming up like thunder. Or at least, some kid of shout. This is, of course, the day before that day 13 years ago.…
In the grand slush of news lately, I’d overlooked today’s 40-year anniversary — Gerald Ford’s forgive-and-forget of Dick Nixon. And nearly 40 years later, President Obama did just about the same thing with George Jr. and his bunch. Ford’s TV text soul-searching included: My conscience tells me clearly and certainly that I cannot prolong the…
