Quiet sunshine with temperatures in the low 90s (which is another world from anywhere near ‘hot‘) this late afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Another day in the life. And this afternoon, another bit of life action in the fight against COVID — a new booster vaccine okayed by the CDC: Details at The…
Warm and still this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re forecast with more of the same for the next couple of weeks. Indeed, we’re nicely, easily, seeping into autumn. Not so nice, however, is one big lie empowered by a second big lie — T-Rump’s lifetime agenda: Michael Tomasky at The New…
Today 22 years ago was a Tuesday. And a swift change of direction for America, and the world. Of course, this day a couple of decades and change ago, we really didn’t understand just how shitty and horrible was GW Bush and his boys. They upset the fabric of humanity and it’s never really been…
Sunshine and breezy warm this early-evening Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — some light drizzle this morning, then a nice, easy day followed. We are definitely easing into autumn. Beyond the news of nowadays (shitty as it is), there’s a gem of an item from long, long ago — the assassination of JFK and…
Sunny and warmish this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — another day of nice. Despite being the best, and one of the most accomplished presidents in recent memory, Joe Biden can’t catch a break — via CNN this afternoon: ‘The devastating verdict voters deliver on President Joe Biden in a new CNN poll…
Lazy-warm late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — despite boiling-like scorching temperatures just about worldwide (especially tight now in the Eastern US), we’re experiencing a cooler-than-normal summer-into-fall transition, and it’s nice. Although our situation right now doesn’t necessarily mimic the reality of Earth — climate change is no-shit a full-bore danger upon us —…
In regards somewhat to my post from earlier today on the insane, lop-sided delusion of MAGA nutcases loving the criminal, nasty aspects of -Rump’s entire catalog of shit, and the uphill climb Joe Biden has in order to overcome such an idiotic political landscape. Although Biden might be the best, gets-shit-done president since FDR, and…
Sunny and warm a few minutes after the noon hour this Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — summer falling into autumn nice and easy. So far, anyway. In doomscrolling the news this morning, I became a bit worried about some bits of really-insane polling for the 2024 presidential race — despite the absolute terror…
Another musical death was announced today — Jimmy Buffett has died at 76. And apparently, he was way-more than a wonderful songwriter and lifestyle persona: Beyond the artistic whimsical, however, in that sense of being ‘lucky‘ with a certain financial sense (Barron’s): ‘Buffett built an enormous business empire valued at several hundred million dollars: Margaritaville…
Ashen-gray (if there’s such a coloring) skies this Friday evening — weather is just climate done locally. In between sea-level rise and hot-ass ocean water, the just churned through Hurricane Idalia is a notable and horrific example of our future due to bad-shit-already-here-and-even-worse-shit-coming climate change — although obvious, not being taken seriously is a problem.…
