Ground fog and a chilled air makes for an exciting early morning here on California’s north coast, and what makes this particular day so titillating is that it’s Friday! Frick, I been waiting for this. Events this week proves the US is not the exceptional place we were all told repeatedly it was, and not…
Once again the normal environs of overcast and fog for us up here on California’s north coast, but at least it’s Thursday and the weekend is near-about in sight. In less than 48 hours… Meanwhile, amongst the horrible worldwide shit spraying out from all over, came this bit of disquieting news that George Jr. has…
High overcast and some patches of ground fog this early mid-week Wednesday on California’s north coast, along with just a touch of chilled breeze — not too shabby. Overwhelmed by other horror stories — the Ukraine, Gaza, a growing Ebola outbreak in east Africa, blah, blah — the tale of what’s happening in Iraq is…
This past weekend, Sarah Palin supposedly launched her own online network, where for $9.55 a month (or $99.95 for a whole year) a subscriber can binge on Palin’s witless wit: “I want to talk directly to you on our channel, on my terms — and no need to please the powers that be. Together, we’ll go…
High overcast and some ground fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — dark and quiet. A normal, natural cover for us, but a blanket on stargazing, and catching a fleeing glimpse of the Delta Aquarid meteor shower going on right now, supposedly popping down to earth 15 to 20 meteors an hour, if…
Here we are with another Monday, and the last two days are just a much-faded memory — seems last Friday afternoon is now just a finger-snap in the past. This coming Friday? Way-the-fuck down the road. Madeleine Albright yesterday responded to Bob Schieffer’s question on how uniquely screwed is the world right now: “We all…
High overcast this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and instead of ground fog, there’s a wide, black sky hanging over us. No stars are visible, though, just a deep dark. Now nearly 13 years later, the attack on the World Trade Center has left the US and the world in general under a deep,…
Ground fog again this way-too-early, and way-too-soon Monday as we climb out onto the limb of a work week. Saturday and Sunday appear to pass in a flash — and here we are! This can’t be good news for us in the dry-tinder western US and the hope of an El Niño-influenced rainy season: While forecasts of…
(Illustration: ‘The White Tiger of Autumn,’ by Kevin Lee Drum found here). On this early Sunday, the world is in a fog. Here on California’s north coast, it’s literal — deep, ground fog, a normal, misty part of the local environment. In a couple of hours or so, sunshine and warm breezes. Out in the…
Fog again this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we quickly work forward — today is the fall day toward the weekend. Hip-hip hooray! Although the NWS calls it “patchy fog,” the shit here on the coast feels like a soft, wet rain. Yesterday morning walking to work I could nearly feel the individual…
