Overcast with just a bit of ground fog this early Friday here on California’s north coast — rain expected later on, with a good shower due over the weekend. Gray-gloomy weather we’ve had lately. And along with the outside, an inside sense a little somber, too, with a worsening and obvious stupefaction on the apparatus…
Rain in the gutters this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — the NWS calls it ‘showers,’ and this system is forecast to be fairly light, pass-by-gone by tomorrow, and more possible wetness over the weekend. One hot news item — the GOP’s Iranian letter, “unprecedented” maybe in American history. Veteran political writer Michael Tomasky…
Another morning here on California’s north coast — in this instance, a Friday. A hazy-white glow peaks light from the east, filtered by high, wispy clouds, and so far a weather-facsimile from yesterday. Warm the word just about all day Thursday, so maybe we’ll get some of the same today — all way-good. And further…
Overcast and chilly for a way-too-early Monday on California’s north coast — supposedly, the NWS expects maybe a 40 percent chance of rain for us this morning, but forecasts sunshine for at least the next week. Weather to be seen, or not… And weather itself has funnelled into extremes (via EcoWatch): ‘During 2014, cities in…
Bright afternoon sun with a chilled wind here on California’s north coast — nice if you’ve got some type break from that sharp, Alaska-tinted breeze. Tax season in the wind, too, as we’re almost into March. Working stiffs (or retired working stiffs) are catching the blunt of the taxman-cometh-jigsaw-game of gilded bullshit. And Americans are…
Overcast, fog-moist and quiet this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and appreciate it or not, we’re quickly-churning through February, already a way-short, box-like month. Although expected to be ‘warmer‘ than yesterday, today’s NWS forecast for ‘partly sunny,’ actually means here on the coast, ‘mostly fog,’ and wet-chilly — similar to yesterday afternoon, when warm,…
Our local-daily newspaper up here on California’s north coast is the Eureka Times-Standard, and one of the worse papers I’ve ever come across — readers know it too, the long-time nickname is the ‘Sub-Standard.’ Odd, too, this morning to see an item from the rag featured on the Google News headline page — first time…
Sarah Palin has always been the poster-gal for bat-shit crazy, which lead obnoxiously to fame and reality TV, but her trademark aura of non compos mentis has finally lost its fruit flavor. Last week, via the Guardian: Sarah Palin’s eccentric speech to a Republican conference in Iowa last weekend, which has been criticised even by…
Thick, gray clouds, hanging low this early Friday on California’s north coast — and a bit on the cold side, too, with a slight, chilled breeze. Supposedly, though, we’re to receive heavy sunshine sometime today, and on into tomorrow, maybe rain by late Sunday. Weather forecasting, however, and like a lot of other assorted shit,…
Cloudy and a bit on the chilled side this early Thursday on California’s north coast — supposedly another ‘partly cloudy/sunny’ day expected. Responding yesterday to marijuana not being ‘more dangerous than alcohol,’ President Obama’s AG nominee Loretta Lynch nit-twitted: ‘“Well, senator, I certainly don’t hold that view, and don’t agree with that view of marijuana…
