Overcast and way-dark this early Friday on California’s north coast as we look forward to the weekend, now within earshot. Hairy week past with airplanes falling out of the sky at an alarming rate — blown up or just blew up, a horror by any other name. And what’s really hairy is the misplaced fountain…
Ground fog, and this morning, a bit on the cool side for us up here on California’s north coast as we bleed on through the week. Time moves pretty fast, but sometimes not fast enough. And on the news front this early morn, is the appearance of sameness with the added effect of bullshit. There’s…
Once again as if part of an oft-repeated scenario, ground fog and warmth this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as we push on through the work week. However, for someone who’s just fed-up with work, I have nothing-but Friday on my mind. And as the planet disintegrates a little bit every few seconds, Americans…
A foggy and chilly Saturday morning on California’s north coast — normal as the word ‘standard.’ Last week, as anyone paying just a gist-amount of attention would know, results from a Quinnipiac University National Poll showed President Obama the worse US president since WWII, and also included this question to respondents: How much of the…
Fickle the hands of events, coupled with stupid: In a survey of 1,446 registered voters, 33 percent said Obama was the worst president since World War Two, while 28 percent pointed to his predecessor, George W. Bush, as the worst, the poll by Quinnipiac University found. A blue-tinted, sad graph at USAToday shows next down from George…
Cloudy, damp early Thursday here on California’s north coast and more rain is expected today — we had a good splash yesterday, not anywhere near enough to replenish this dry state, but was welcomed nevertheless. Ironic laugh relief — Sarah Palin’s eye-gouging, most-literary response to the GOP incestuous blowout in Mississippi this week. Charles P.…
High overcast and way-quiet this early Monday on California’s north coast. I can’t even hear the Pacific Ocean, only a couple of miles away, as the morning sound so full of stillness it’s kind of weird. We require some type noise on a frickin’ Monday. The weekend went terrifyingly fast even if I did absolutely…
Overcast and rainy-looking this way-way-too-early Thursday here on California’s north coast, and since I’m on foot nowadays, the wet doesn’t make me want to dance a jig. Rain is forecast for the next couple of days, so I’ll just have to abide with the dude. News shit sucks this morning — the same pattern to…
A bit overcast and quiet this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we reach mid-week work style. There’s just way-too-many days between Monday and Friday. And speaking of ganja, especially up here in the pot-growing center of the entire universe, a bunch of well-respected economic brainiacs have called for the eternally-foolish, 40-year-old drug war to…
Ground fog and a little warm this way-too-early Thursday on California’s north coast as we cruise toward the weekend. And tomorrow’s Friday, so we ain’t that far away. Up this early, I down a cup of coffee before my eyes are even open. In the mid-1990s, the revelation of coffee-power changed my mornings and was…
