Considered ‘Partly Cloudy‘ this mid-day Thursday in Merced, midst of California’s San Joaquin Valley, as I attempt to normalize my new home area — resided here thereabouts more than 30 years ago, thus I somewhat grasp my situation/predicament… In 1975 I began my journalism career as a police reporter with The Montgomery Advertiser and in…
Big puffy clouds and sunshine this Monday evening on California’s north coast — we didn’t get the forecast rain today, but reportedly rain called-for tomorrow afternoon.

Overcast-gray this Tuesday evening on California’s north coast, with no sun appearance at all today — also a dog run to Little River State Beach this morning was the same, except for a chilled ocean breeze.

Sunshine right now coupled with a cool, brisk ocean breeze this late-afternoon Friday here on California’s north coast.

Bright and warm this late-afternoon/early-evening Thursday on California’s north coast. However, earlier on the beach was fog and low clouds, a chilled breeze off the ocean. Reportedly, sunshine at least the next week-to-10-days, though, living around the shoreline always the prospect of at least morning fog… Far to the east, attitudes are apparently shifting with…
(Illustration: ‘Donald Trump,’ by Adam Khabibi, found here). Ugly shit this morning out yonder in DC. What a mess this country is in with the way-clusterfuck of the T-Rump operation — and a real-main problem it’s not just him, as shit does attract flies. I’m waiting for the sun to stay out for awhile before…
(Illustration found here). A warm and bright Monday afternoon on California’s north coast. Despite temperatures only in the mid-50s around noon-time, the lack of any decent wind fostered a much-more-warmer feeling. Walking the dogs earlier out on Little River State Beach the air felt actually, ‘hot.’ Even if using that word too soon in the…
(Illustration found here). As far as our environment goes, it’s getting way-close to the now-or-we’re-fucked point — the Guardian yesterday: The study found that if all fossil fuel infrastructure — power plants, factories, vehicles, ships and planes — from now on are replaced by zero-carbon alternatives at the end of their useful lives, there is a…
