Scary — Nature Comes A-Knocking

Another Halloween, but slapped hard by nature — there’s a few million US people who won’t be prowling the streets tonight seeking after treats. The trick will be to crawl through Hurricane Sandy’s rubble and stay alive. Warm and appears like it’s about to rain up here along northern California’s coastline, with the operative word…

Shit that fits

Clear this early Friday along California’s northern coast, though, rain is forecast for next week and winter’s coming whether we like it or not.

Middle-of-the-week and time just keeps on keeping on. Opposite asshole bit of the week — US kids are too fat to kill other people. In a new report called, “Still Too Fat to Fight,” some retired military 1 per-centers whine young obese Americans are endangering national security: “It’s clear to us that our military readiness…
