Dark-thirty and cold already this Saturday evening in California’s Central Valley — winter feels closer than just around the corner. Also closer than they appear, the T-Rump playing denier on his now infamous dinner with knuckle-headed nutcase Ye and Nick Fuentes, one of the biggest pieces-of-racist shit in America, and the fallout that exploded —…
The day after turkey day and although it’s still early evening, it’s black as shit outside. In the context of all those mass shootings — the last one earlier this week at a Walmart store in Virginia — carrying guns is a seeming upswing part of America’s modern life as more and more people are…
A bit overcast this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley — a kick-off to the holiday season. Thursday is Thanksgiving; from there it’s just a hop-skip-and-a-jump to Christmas and the New Year. Shit moves quickly in a well-endowed vacuum. And to start off, Joe Biden is history’s latest to pardon possible table platters: Joe…
Clear, blue skies and splashy sunshine here in California’s Central Valley this near-noon Friday. We’re ending the work week on another fine, fall day.

Although he’s popular with…
Bright sunshine and chilly-willy temperatures this early Tuesday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley — although a bit crisp, outside right now is another ‘good-as-it-gets-around-these-parts’ episode. Usually too hot, or too something. Nice this morning. however. Today marks a full week since the midterms and the euphoria still lingers in the air. Despite the gains,…
Another sunshine-splashed morning here in California’s Central Valley — weather on a Thursday in a week of excitement and suspense — a nice environment right now, but soon due to accelerating climate change becoming not so good in the way-near future. And maybe, too, the blue-tinted midterms from Tuesday might be a hint of salvation…
Sunshine in glorious bursts from behind big, fluffy white clouds this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — a wonderous, beautiful day after a most-marvelous midterm election yesterday. The weather feels the yay! whee! effect this morning. Instead of sad and remorse, anxiety attacks coupled with stress headaches, and other sad-sack mental states, there’s…
While awaiting the fevered outcomes of today’s midterm elections, another story has played out for some maybe unsuspecting someone here in California — quick wealth thrust upon them maybe literally overnight. A twisting raffle on a Tuesday: Via The Washington Post this afternoon: After 40 drawings without a jackpot winner, there was one winner of…
