Rain on Time

Drizzling rain and gray this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — the cruising front of another ‘atmospheric river’ pounding its way northward. The NWS reports maybe three-to-five-inches of rain across the Lost Coast today, tonight and early into Thursday. Next glimpse of sparkling-sunshine hopefully-supposedly forecast for Saturday. Until then… Not only does long bouts of…

Guarding a Hot Hen-House

As we’re pelted with cold, way-wet gusty winds here on the North Coast, the way-outside world is getting warmer, still. Just this morning at Scott Pruitt’s Senate confirmation hearing came this from T-Rump’s choice to the head the EPA: ‘“My personal opinion in immaterial.”‘ Near-about at the same time, the NASA and NOAA ‘jointly declared 2016…

T-Rump A-coming — ‘Collective Toes Have Curled’

Heavy rain and gusty winds this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — supposedly, we could get 2-inches of rainfall today. On Sunday, the Times of London published T-Rump’s first interview with a Brit newspaper — here a source-creation of way-high anxiety (HuffPost): “I don’t want it to be a disruption — I love the…

Presser Pulp-Fiction

Clear and sunshine this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we catch a break from the wet weather — supposedly ‘Mostly Sunny‘ through early next week. Surreal is a tip-top word to continue into 2017 — freakish, near-illusory fright of T-Rump’s press conference yesterday makes ‘surreal’ essential to understand this bizarre scene of an example…

‘The Worse People’ in Charge

Overcast-gray with some layered ground fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — sprinkles/drizzle forecast for sometime this morning. In context of the coming new year, and a newly-minted/old word I’d never heard of until intrigued by a post a couple of weeks ago at Digby — the word, Kakistocracy, ‘…a term meaning a…

Economy of Sense

Overcast and cold this early Friday on California’s north coast, and supposedly maybe some sunshine later, with no rain forecast until Sunday. As T-Rump bumbles into control, Americans at least for the moment are in decent economic times. The Labor Department released some good numbers this morning — 178,000 new jobs in in November, and unemployment…

Journalism and T-Rump

Sharp, clean sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, way-chilly, though. As a former newspaper writer-person, reporting on T-Rump and his off-vibrates has got to be  weird as shit — for the first-time ever in public discourse, lying is the new reality. Journalism has a challenge — CNN‘s Christiane Amanpour nailed the bottom-line in…

T-Rump Press Summit — ‘A F–ing Firing Squad’

Overcast and cold this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — rain expected later this afternoon, and beyond some intervals of dry, our weather will be wet, occasionally ‘heavy‘ wet through Friday. Now exactly two weeks ago, life was torn-apart in a bigly-diverse way. And just yesterday, an indication of an ominous horror — we…
