Fog-clouds cloak the north coast of California this Friday morning, and if it continues like yesterday, we can expect this afternoon to be only ‘partially’ on the sunny side. And a bit chilly, too. Also under a chilled-glass darkly, The Donald unglued — laugh way-outloud (via TPM): “Mike called me, and he said yesterday, ‘Would…
In the fog-bank, gray-zone once again this early Thursday on California’s north coast — gloomy prelude, however, to an expected bright, sunshine-filled afternoon. Unless something goes terribly wrong… How about what’s normal, but wrong — like getting old? This month will mark two years since my retirement, and aging seemingly is an unfair piece of…
Slight drizzle this early Friday on California’s north coast, feels like it’s drizzling rain all over the world. State of the killing union — via Dallas Morning News this morning: As they stood on the corner, a Dallas police officer came up to them and held out his hand. “You want a sticker?” he asked. It…
Gray-overcast again this early Thursday on California’s north coast — sunshine supposedly later, but tempered with some expected gusty winds. Another day in the life… And ugly it can be — Donald Trump continues. A display of the overall repugnance of Republicans, this from Sen. Mike Lee of Utah: ‘“Hey look, Steve, I get it. You…
Bright sunshine for a change this Friday morning on California’s north coast, and supposedly we’re in for some ‘good-as-it-gets’ weather for the next few days, minus, of course, the shoreline fog-bank, and those gusty and chilled ocean breezes. Yesterday, orange-tinged “shit stain” blubbered-out great anxiety for humankind (the Guardian): ‘Donald Trump pledged to cancel the Paris…
Damp gray air this near-noon Thursday on California’s north coast, and according to the precipitation-percentage thingy at WunderBlog, chance of rain is zero to well-under 10-percent the next week or so — here along the shoreline, a lot of gray in the mornings, though. Normal for the area. And getting more ‘NORMAL’ is marijuana —…
Scattered cloud cover with lots of sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as we continue into a week of heat — at least the next couple of days; supposedly, we might even reach 80 tomorrow, though, most likely the mid-70s or cooler if the winds arise with any intensity. Style of the coast…
Another bright, shiny morning this Wednesday here on California’s north coast as we lounge through a most-wonderful weather period. Yesterday was absolutely-gorgeous with more of the same for a few days to come — supposedly, decent rain slated maybe for next Monday, but who’s to really say? Beauty in the eye of the beholder, or…
(Illustration found here). In just a week, a bit of frightful climate news — maybe more frightful than usual. Starting off last Monday, the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) released its Status of the Climate Global Climate report, and the card looked real bad (via Climate News Network) — WMO secretary-general Petteri Taalas: “The future is…
Occasional faded sunshine this early Thursday on California’s north coast, a quick-respite from rainstorms, and though the clouds are still thick and gray, those gusto winds have really evaporated. Last night, I dozed off into sleep with some turbulent, wind-driven rain hammering my apartment, but woke to an easy-calm daybreak. Clear skies by Wednesday —…
