Clear, gorgeous skies and tepid temperatures this late-afteroon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — the first day of the end of a wonderful pre-summer blitz of great weather. Heat rolls in the next few days with triple-digits expected by the weekend. Today has carried a rigorous news cycle — among the items were a…
Sunshine and a cool, gentle breeze this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — another weekend ahead with even more agreeable weather. Summer is nice and soft, so far. Beyond the terrible news dump today — the sad demise of the Titanic submersible (with even a Joe Biden conspiracy theory now somehow attached); wrapping…
Another gorgeous, sunshine-filled, low-temp episode shortly after the noon hour Thursday here in California’s Central Valley. Reportedly, another 10 days or so of this chilled-type weather (abnormal for the time) and summer is then expected to start kicking in with triple-digit air temperatures, so enjoy while you can. We all take notice of ‘special days‘…
As we await news on the submersible, known as “Titan,” missing since Sunday on a sight-seeing trip to the deep-sea-sunken Titanic, there was a couple of incidents in the House today that kept the interests nauseatingly viable — both stories on the shittiness of House Republicans and their wayward agenda of spite and arrogant ignorance.…
Bright sunshine and chilly temperatures this mid-day Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — the summer solstice today, the opening round of summer. The clock spun from spring to summer reportedly at 7:58 this morning PDT, and we’re now well into the cycle. Except summer is nowhere to be seen/felt here in California. Unlike a…
Just near-sleep-scrolling through the InterWebs the last couple of days without the energy, drive, or literary desire to post on anything, from all our environments, be it one-sided horror politics, genocidal war, or the-becoming hothouse weather. Reality nowadays is wretched. So far today, the only real pass-along item I spied is a deep-dive into the…
(Artwork: ‘Landscape of Change,’ by Jill Pelto, and found here.) Sunshine and heat this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — today is one of the steps on a rising-temperature stairway we’re going to experience in the next couple of days. Although we’re in the high 80s right now, maybe triple digits by Saturday.…
Seasonal heat fills this way-warm late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — this might be the actual, real first day of summer, though, the official first day is still an exact week away. Temps going up from here on out — that’s the start mark. Also on the mark, the aftermath of T-Rump’s arraignment…
(Sketch-image of T-Rump in court by Jane Rosenberg/Reuters, and found here.) Although scenes today of the T-Rump entourage in Miami appeared at first look as normal, low key and, maybe, a bit bland, but in reality the scene was surreal as shit. One of the most despised, despicable, dipshit assholes on the planet took a…
Smokey-overcast this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — warm, and seemingly a bit humid, too. Meanwhile, how do you handle what you don’t know? In the T-Rump indictment case, as he rolled into Miami today to await the perp walk scheduled for tomorrow, Republicans of every stripe, from Congressasses to sidewalk MAGA hatters,…
