Just when you figured the freaked-out plate was full, from global warming to ISIS to Trump/Palin, now comes the cash-flow event — from NASDAQ this afternoon: ‘The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 376 points, or 2.4 percent, to 15640, after earlier dropping as much as 565 points.’ Rapidly-tanking oil prices are sucking everybody down the drain-hole…
Overcast and gray this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast as real-rain has given way to misty drizzle and sparse sprinkles — the big storm supposedly for today was quiet for us along the shoreline. Forecasters call for a slight-period of semi-dry until Thursday. In another type respite, yesterday I put $20 worth of gas…
Overcast, dark and chilly this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, a natural stage set for fairly-heavy rain due sometime this afternoon — according to the NWS, we could get more than half-an-inch before tomorrow. Supposedly, the rain-front is expected to be quiet through the weekend, with the next go around forecast for next Tuesday,…
Bright and windy this afternoon on California’s north coast, sunshine filtered by some high, thin clouds — nice and comfy with a wind break, otherwise, a sharp, chilled breeze will briskly-batter the brains. Based upon the supposition, of course, you have brains, and if you don’t… who’s got sense enough to tell? Even with just…
Overcast still going on into the late afternoon here on California’s north coast, with some added patchy ground fog, only sunshine so far a hazy, faded-yellow glare shifting the gray every so often — a damp, shoreline chill, too, added to the mix.

Bright sunshine and chilly air this afternoon here on California’s north coast, as another year wraps down. Big surprise for 2014 — price at the pump. Since I don’t travel much, or very far, been nearly a month since I ‘fueled‘ my old Jeep Comanche, and this morning, another $20 worth of regular, now at $2.77…
Rain again this early Monday on California’s north coast, feels like it’s raining all over the world. Nearly two months of this wet stuff for most of the time, and the accompanying, gray-gothic clouds, real-gloomy-like if continuous. Yet we need all the rain we can handle, and then some. High-point yesterday, the first day of…
Sunshine splashed with clouds this Monday afternoon on California’s north coast — only rain so far was early this morning, but more is expected before this particular front calls it quits. One of the big news items as of right now has been going on for nearly six months — the insane drop in oil…
One giant story given nearly-back-burner status is this steep decline in oil prices. Via Reuters this afternoon: ‘Benchmark Brent crude oil settled down 37 cents at $78.10 a barrel, after rising as much as 98 cents during the session. It has lost $1.31 in the past three sessions. U.S. crude finished down 3 cents at…
Overcast and chilly this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast with some rain sprinkles thrown in for good measure. Another week in the wet — tonight is supposed to be the rain high point, then the cover of ‘showers’ the next few days. And it’s gloomy, too. Weather to feel sad. Yet even in gloomy…
