Fog returns this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as the year falls forward — most-likely sunshine soon. Yesterday was about as good-as-it-gets around here with tons of afternoon sun and nearly-clear skies. Even with a brisk ocean breeze, the warmth felt actually warm — supposedly, we should be in the 70s by Friday. As…
Sunshine rolling back the overcast this early-Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast — expectations abound for another day-gorgeous. As you most-likely know, last Thursday the DEA announced a forked-tongue, contradictory arrangement — despite supposedly a relaxation on cannabis research, the agency also continued marijuana in the same gene pool as like heroin and LSD. (Forbes): ‘According…
Patchy-sunshine mingled with patchy-fog this early Thursday on California’s north coast — a fairly-good chance of some rain showers starting late tonight and light-wetness possibility on/off through the weekend. And we summer along… Beyond the madcap news cycle this morning — there’s so much shit going on worldwide even as I type, it would take…
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.

Clear and cold this Friday morning along California’s north coast, after a night of heavy rain, a bit of hammering hail, and a faded-yellow sunrise, looks like a nice weather-day ahead — shivery as shit, though. On this peculiar holiday, another sad, hypocritical example of human idiocy — via NPR: ‘Parents of children with severe…
Warm sunshine tempered by a chilled Pacific breeze this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, with nearly-clear skies and a sunny look to the weekend. In the ongoing enlightenment of the wonderous marijuana plant, another study on its health benefits, too. Via a news release from McGill University Health Centre last Tuesday: They found that…
Thick, misty fog this early Monday on California’s north coast and chilly, too, but as is expected, the wet marine layer should all burn off before mid-day. The NWS predicts a ‘slight chance‘ of rain on Friday, but most-likely won’t happen. A happenin’ thing, though, is marijuana’s new aid for our domesticated animals — apparently…
UPDATE this morning Last night, California legislators in Sacramento did actually pass what’s now been dubbed the, “Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act” — from our local Times-Standard, and North Coast state Sen. Mike McGuire: ‘“This was a heavy lift by all involved, but the top priority for the Senate and the Assembly and the…
Despite a twisted history, marijuana is proving itself over and over again in the medical/health arena, the latest gets down to the bone.
