Super hot — 112 degrees — this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley, and knowledge we’ve still got probably another week of this shit, makes the whole scene more blistering. Weather on the weather. Also on a hot streak is Joe Biden, swinging back at the nefarious, asshole-lingering Republicans with another go around on…
Hot as shit outside this near-noon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re forecast for boiling-scalding temperatures through the middle of the month at least, with 115 degrees predicted for this coming Tuesday. In the heat of cruel idiocy: Beyond the idiots lies the lying. In this world of heavy-duty ‘alternative facts‘ of T-Rump…
Beyond the norm in hot this late-afternoon Saturday in California’s Central Valley — right now it’s 108 (with a ‘feels like’ factor of 110 degrees), which is maybe tempered just a bit by a soft wind. I don’t think so — ‘soft‘ is way-too ‘soft‘ a word to describe the outside of my air-conditioned apartment.…
Hot and heavy this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — although one degree short of triple figures, the ‘feels like‘ gauge on my local weather site cites 102-degrees, which when I was outside a just a short while ago, is an understatement. We’re in a multi-day, statewide/region-wide ‘heat dome’ experience where baking-hot is…
Although it’s still fairly pleasant in the shade this near-noon Wednesday, the direct sunshine is hotter than shit here in California’s Central Valley as we encounter another ‘heat dome‘ driving temperatures to triple digits. Not only just us, but the entire SW US will have a boiling Labor Day weekend. And it will only get…
In all the news shit swirling about this Tuesday afternoon, this T-Rump tweet from this morning is pure shamelessness, empty of irony and self-awareness, and mostly, reality: T-Rump is one, well-fined piece of shit. Nutshell of today’s nut-fest (NBC News): Former President Donald Trump spent Tuesday morning posting inflammatory messages on social media, including many…
A few degrees under 100 just about mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — the fevered-heat wave starts this afternoon, though, officially the baking isn’t supposed to begin until tomorrow. A lot of the time reality is a day early. And a long-ago-like tomorrow, it’s been 50 years since the Watergate era — the…
Another scorcher outside this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — it’s 103 degrees right now, with barely a breeze. Despite a couple of ‘coolish‘ days immediately ahead, more blasting heat is on our schedule well-past Labor Day. It’s been a seemingly-quick, hot-ass summer, though, the entire clock/calendar, keeping-time apparatus feels like it’s on…
Heavy-aired hot this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — 100 degrees outside right now, probably the high for the day, and another episode in our latest heat wave this year. Cooler weather forecast for this coming weekend, so we’ll just wait as we whine about insufferable conditions. Weather be changing in a hurry.…
Here we are, shamelessly and audaciously without an ounce of any marketing savvy, crying for you as readers of this blog — that handful of sad intellectuals off the vast InterWebs — to buy my novel, “Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona,” self-published last March by Outskirts Press. Although set in the genre FICTION/Romance/Fantasy, “Corona”…
