Clear and chilly again this early Thursday on California’s north coast — the weekend’s finally in sight. Forecasts call for a “chance of rain” for the immediate future, which up here really means a drizzle at most, with no appreciable precipitation called for until the end of next week. Up top the news this morning…
Darkly-thick overcast skies this Saturday morning on California’s north coast — rain and more rain on the schedule for this weekend, and maybe to even next Wednesday. Big topic, though, ain’t the weather. Vin Scully with some of the play-by-play: “A little tremor in the ball park…I am not sure if the folks felt it,…
Overcast and wet this way-early Friday on California’s north coast as we swing furiously into the weekend. No actual rain right now, but we’re supposedly in the midst of a series of storm systems. And for today, a warm washing as this storm is one of those atmospheric river entities, floating up from Hawaii —…
“Ever read any Poe?” “No, but I loved her last album.” — “Panic Room” Raining and warm this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — we’re forecast for wet weather for the next week-to-10-days, so I might as well get used to it. A horror I talked about yesterday morning — a possible cracked head…
Dark this early Friday — Duh! And high overcast with a chilled breeze on California’s north coast as we’re only hours away from a weekend. Sitting here at the laptop in these pre-dawn hours is similar to sitting in a movie theater watching coming attractions without any sense of time, place or who. Delusion appears…
Overcast with a chilly breeze this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we grind through another work week. Friday is just a flip-of-the-finger away. We had a bit of nasty news yesterday afternoon from just south of us, down in Mendocino County, where a sheriff’s deputy was shot and killed in a shootout with…
Overcast with a drizzly rain this early Monday on California’s north coast as we begin another freakin’ work week. No ground shaking, though, at least there’s that. And today is pure-booze day — St. Patrick’s is every asshole’s drinking problem, and a third of Americans planning to celebrate, with more than 80 percent of those clowns…
High overcast and calm this early Friday on California’s north coast — the sky placid and easy. Weather around here the last few days has been incredible with tons of sunshine and warm breezes, spring has forecast its arrival — maybe. Meanwhile, back east in the DC shithole of government, a crisis is brewing on…
Another clear and breezy morning this Thursday on California’s north coast as we prepare for the weekend — and the weather is cooperating. Yesterday was pure gorgeous. Bright sunshine with very-little wind, which is abnormal especially for the afternoon, and way-warm — I opened windows to let the draft clear out my apartment, and, marched…
Clear and quiet this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — no heavy-duty ground movement either in the wake of a cluster-swarm earthquakes on Sunday. And we “…dodged the bullet…” again — although the 6.8 (downgraded from a .9) shaker was even bigger than the 2010 6.5, the effects were way different. Sunday’s tumbler was…
