Overcast-gray with some layered ground fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — sprinkles/drizzle forecast for sometime this morning. In context of the coming new year, and a newly-minted/old word I’d never heard of until intrigued by a post a couple of weeks ago at Digby — the word, Kakistocracy, ‘…a term meaning a…
Raining-darkly this Friday morning on California’s north coast. According forecasts, we should stay wet at least until Monday, and even then it’s still likely there’s going to be drizzle. Supposedly-maybe, near two-inches for the shoreline tonight and tomorrow, of course, higher amounts inland. Funny, how the word ‘weather‘ also means more than the environment —…
Overcast this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, with rain expected at any minute — supposedly rain until Saturday, at least, and some forecast to be fairly-decent in downfall. And cold-as-shit this morning, too. However, we on the shoreline are under an NWS ‘Frost Advisory,’ vs a few miles inland, and a ‘Freeze Warning.’ A degree-or-two…
Overcast this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, with threat of rain showing itself. Cold tonight, too, for a week of wet ahead. Ahead also is life in the ‘post-truth‘ era of American life — reverberating the concept, Margaret Sullivan at the Washington Post on Sunday invoked the fear: ‘It’s time to dust off your old…
Sharp, clean sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, way-chilly, though. As a former newspaper writer-person, reporting on T-Rump and his off-vibrates has got to be weird as shit — for the first-time ever in public discourse, lying is the new reality. Journalism has a challenge — CNN‘s Christiane Amanpour nailed the bottom-line in…
Overcast, rainy and chilly this Sunday morning on California’s north coast — feels like it’s raining all over the world. Not only in Georgia, but the ability to de-stress American life is non-existent, and to relax? WTF! Last week, freakish-asshole Paul Ryan requested US peoples to just calm down, shit ain’t that bad: ‘“There is a…
Scattered sunshine this early Monday on California’s north coast, with semi-clear skies, chilly temperatures, and changing weather. Supposedly, our first big rain coming late Wednesday and Thursday, ‘heavy at times,’ and subsequent storms keeping us wet until the middle of next week. We could get maybe two-plus-inches of rain off the first one, indicating a…
Light-scattering rain under gray-overcast this early Monday on California’s north coast, near-toward-the-end of a storm system that cranked on us late Friday, and on into the weekend. According to the NWS, my little spot — not far from the Arcata/Eureka Airport — received just a bit more than a half-inch of rain the last couple…
Foggy and chilly this early Friday on California’s north coast — to the east, sunshine occasionally acts like it’s burning through the gray, but the little-dab of bright fades quickly away into a deep-shade of pale. Mundane, but easy weather here, while back east in the stomping ground of my youth, Hurricane Hermine is creating…
Sunshine this near-noon Thursday on California’s north coast, another day in the normal. Abnormal, however, is seemingly the worst adversary of America is not from without, but within. The world as it is — The Donald’s most-current bullshit (the Guardian this morning): ‘The origins of Isis trace back to the aftermath of the US invasion…
