Overcast with fairly-strong wind gusts this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast we we get set to launch into another round of storm fronts. The NWS calls for one-to-three-inches of rain with winds maybe gusting up to 45 mph here along the shoreline for later today. As a single parent of five kids — four…
In my own personal history, one of the weirdest, disconcerting moments for me was when I first glimpsed David Bowie’s, ‘Diamond Dogs‘ album in a record store — a freaked-intellectual stare of madness right out into the open air — times were feeling strange. The summer of 1974 was way-extraordinary for me, and although not…
In a sense within my own personal space, cocooned as it were in time, knowingly-conscious right now in the nowadays, a reflective mirror via Miss Emily Dickinson: “Wonder — Is Not Precisely Knowing” Wonder—is not precisely Knowing And not precisely Knowing not— A beautiful but bleak condition He has not lived who has not felt—…
Bright with a warm breeze this Thursday afternoon here on California’s north coast — supposedly maybe some rain next Wednesday (about 50 percent’s worth), but until then, sunshine and a smooth sea breeze. Major surprise/shock this morning — a car I got just on Tuesday had a dead battery, and the situation is well beyond…
First-faint light in the east this early Thursday on California’s north coast, and at this particular moment, the skies are clear — this close to the Pacific shoreline, clouds and fog are most-likely already forming, but right now sunrise could arrive with a bright thunder. Now about half-way through my Yerba mate, which followed a…
Some clear sunshine arising this early Monday on California’s north coast as we look forward to a supposed string of days ahead of ‘mostly sunny‘ skies and fairly-warm temperatures. Entering the last week of April in a year seemingly already slid-gone like a greased asshole — and today’s Monday again, and as a retiree (a…
Bright and bold this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast, with the wind giving the air a crisp, spring-snap here not too far from the Pacific. Not-too-much of a snap earlier this morning — in fact, there was no loading to snap. As I later learned, my Internet provider’s apparatus apparently encountered some kind of…
Clear and cold once again this early Thursday on California’s north coast — another day in the life. Supposed to be about the same through the weekend, though, apparently the rain expected has edged closer, forecast-wise, set now for maybe on Wednesday. And a rarity this morning, the NWS didn’t post any watches, warnings or…
One sort-of bright light amongst the dark — car wrecks are claiming less Americans, but it’s still economics. Via SFGate: ‘The riskiest models also were mostly lower-priced, small cars, while the safest models were all mid-sized or large vehicles.’ Chances of dying in a car crash fell a third over three years, but that’s in…
Rain again this Saturday morning on California’s north coast, with that sunshine scheduled for next Tuesday, already pushed back to Thursday, and today’s rainfall supposedly heavy at times, totals maybe an inch. Beyond the fractured ways of weather, narrative of the Sony hacking whatnot has developed some serious scenarios — this morning an odd bounce,…
