Patchy-sunshine mingled with patchy-fog this early Thursday on California’s north coast — a fairly-good chance of some rain showers starting late tonight and light-wetness possibility on/off through the weekend. And we summer along… Beyond the madcap news cycle this morning — there’s so much shit going on worldwide even as I type, it would take…
Foggy and chilly this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, seemingly part of the narrative of early summer in these parts. And most-likely, as in yesterday’s tale, sunshine and a sea breeze can be expected in a few hours, or less. One glaring aspect of the historical/political narrative coming to the recent forefront is the…
Gray marine layer covers my little space of California’s north coast this Monday afternoon, and beyond the normal fog, supposedly we’re to have some pleasant weather for the next week-to-10 days — sunshine chilled by ocean breezes. Over the past weekend, I saw there’s this new study-paper, “A Moist Crevice for Word Aversion: In Semantics…
Another bright, shiny morning this Wednesday here on California’s north coast as we lounge through a most-wonderful weather period. Yesterday was absolutely-gorgeous with more of the same for a few days to come — supposedly, decent rain slated maybe for next Monday, but who’s to really say? Beauty in the eye of the beholder, or…
Buried beneath continuous news awash with death, destruction, and The Donald, events in the oil industry are low-key, but financially catastrophic on many levels. Good nutshell-analysis at OilPrice.com: This downward spiral will lead to further credit downgrades and bankruptcies within the oil patch.

Overcast and rain, then vice-versa, here this early Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, as the NWS continues the narrative: ‘An atmospheric river is currently pointed directly at Northwest California, and will result in widespread moderate to heavy rain through the first half of the day.’ Or maybe all day, or forever and a day —…
Dark-thirty this early Wednesday evening on California’s north coast as we saw sunshine in the morning, a deep, gray marine fog in the afternoon and gloomy clouds at sundown. In the presidential circus of a campaign this year, a big portion of the Republican brand is displaying a gross amount of smart anus. Hence, CNN asked…
Just when you figured the freaked-out plate was full, from global warming to ISIS to Trump/Palin, now comes the cash-flow event — from NASDAQ this afternoon: ‘The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 376 points, or 2.4 percent, to 15640, after earlier dropping as much as 565 points.’ Rapidly-tanking oil prices are sucking everybody down the drain-hole…
Rain and darkly overcast this early Monday, the real-start to 2016, and here on California’s north coast, we also commence another in our now-normal, on-going series of ‘conveyor-belt’ weather fronts. According to the NWS, at least two storms this week, the first started yesterday afternoon, and supposedly after a slight pause late tomorrow, another due…
Sunrise bright and way-clear this New Year’s Eve on California’s north coast — a way-rapid week since last Thursday, and a freaking-quick year now-swiftly coming to conclusion. A cold morning, too. Maybe just getting old, or something, but it appears to me time is traveling a whole-lot faster than it did only a short few…
