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…
Dark and a sensation of cold this early Thursday on California’s north coast — although the NWS claims it’s warmer than yesterday morning, and the rest of today to be warmer still. Yet a chill to any ass are the dip-shits infested within that august body of Senators out yonder in DC — they voted…
Cold and dark again — nothing new this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, as we continue to forage into a new year, one day at a time. A lot of holdover shit from 2014, though. One horrible hangover is a way-low regard for politics. Jocelyn Kiley, the Pew Research Center’s associate director of research:…
Rain, wind and cold — weather-bound Friday here on California’s north coast. Rain scheduled for all day, and supposedly heavy tonight. Maybe some sun tomorrow… Despite the freezing-ass cold of the upper-eastern US, and the epic New York snowstorms, the world is still getting warm — last month, California had the third-warmest October since record-keeping…
Overcast and dark this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we wade through another rain front — supposedly good rainfalls the next few days and through the weekend. ‘Tis the season. Also the season for our most-noted local crop — a lot of trim work available nowadays as marijuana buds itself. And another report…
Deep gray afternoon here on California’s north coast — rain, too, on and off, light to sometimes fairly heavy. Today, in a library a couple of miles from Sandy Hook Elementary School, a public hearing was held on a private nightmare. Nelba Marquez-Greene, a family therapist with trauma training, who lost a six-year-old daughter in…
Beautiful, wondrous skies early Wednesday up top this little section of California’s north coast — clouds like red-tinted porcelain seems to stretch far back east as the sun readies to arrive. Of course, not-too-far back east, a shitload of people are well into mid-week — bustling, hustling along, apparently without a freakin’ clue. Yesterday, from…
Bright sunshine and a seemingly-warm breeze this early Monday here on California’s north coast, a kind of opposite to the weather across the US upper mid-west, where temperatures are “…about 20 degrees below the average high…” and nabs the title, ‘Winter Storm Astro,’ first of the season. And a first, too, a Fukushima “fingerprint” is…
Overcast and chilly this early Sunday on California’s north coast — weather here all depends on the wind. Apparently, the weather of politics, too. In the tsunami off the Tuesday quake, I spied this poll survey in the LA Times yesterday, which revealed in the current wind direction/velocity, our two US senators, Barbara Boxer and…
