Here we are again on another Monday and the start another work week — at least it’s clear with just a slight, chilled breeze here on California’s north coast. Rain has disappeared for a few hours. Yesterday was gorgeous, sunshine and warm — I even opened the windows to let the fresh sea air engulf…
Raining and warm again this early Friday (finally!) on California’s north coast as we continue on into winter’s tropical grip. Ha! And this day is supposedly special, made for sad, love-struck nit-twits like one Joel Barish: “Random thoughts for Valentine’s Day, 2004. Today is a holiday invented by greeting card companies. To make people feel…
Low fog with a rain mix this Monday morning here on California’s north coast as the first-so-far winter storm has completed its cycle. We’re forecast for another wet system by the middle of the week, which is supposed to bring more rain for the parch-droughty countryside. And like a lot of other shit nowadays, we’ll…
Now a year older than even their famous oldsters’ love ballad, time appears on occasion similar to a snap-of-the fingers — here yesterday, then real-sudden-like, half-a-century later. Tonight marks the 50th anniversary of a brand-new ballgame: ‘Fuck You — It’s My Fuckin’ Life.’ Or, way-more-lame, the first appearance of the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan…
Rain this early Friday on California’s north coast, and a storm that might put a small dent on our horrific drought — nearly 5 inches of rain expected, and bigger rainfall coming for the weekend. And with the noted “pineapple express” — temperatures warm and near-balmy are forecast for the region. Meteorologist Dr. Jeff Masters:…
Overcast and feeling like rain this early Thursday up here on California’s north coast, a sense hopefully that really does pan out — big wet weather set for tonight and on into the weekend. Forecasts indicate 3 to 5 inches of rain between now and Sunday with heavy snow in the mountains, and “…we should…
Clear and chilly this early Wednesday here on California’s north coast, the work-week moving right along, though, not fast enough. News sprouting out this morning is fairly bland, or continuous-ugly in nature (i.e., the US farm bill bullshit) as the eyeballs of the world begin to sharply-focus on the upcoming winter games, starting this Friday…
Key to the latest Eddie-Snowden tidbit: Even more troubling, according to Information’s assessment, is that the top secret “document suggests that the NSA’s […] focus in relation to climate change was spying on other countries to collect intelligence that would support American interests, rather than preventing future climate catastrophes.” (Illustration found here). This newest sketch…
Overcast with some occasional rain this early Wednesday on California’s north coast with more expected today and tomorrow. Weather of the weird. Beyond the sprinkles, big coverage this morning, of course, is President Obama’s State of the Union last night — most of the commentary I’ve seen has shown it to be better-than-average, maybe the…
Lo, and behold, Friday! And it’s clear and warm this early morning here on California’s north coast, with ‘weirding weather‘ making its play as right now we’re over 50 degrees and the forecast is for warmer temperatures today than yesterday, which was a surprise to everybody. On Thursday, freezing cold at dawn to a T-shirt-only…
