Overcast and gray this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — a chance of scattered showers tonight, and maybe some isolated thunderstorms, too, but clear skies due by Thursday. Age is the real weather crusher, not gray clouds, or any rain. I’m a baby boomer — we currently make-up 28 percent of the US population…

Despite being in an earthquake-shaker zone, no news yet about a couple of heavy-duty quakes in the area yesterday afternoon within minutes of each other — I didn’t feel a thing. First, a 5.0 earthquake at 4:28, about 165 miles west of Mckinleyville, and pretty-shallow, too, at 6.2 miles; followed two minutes later by a 4.9…

Update/Add-on, interesting related thingy below Overcast with some wisps of sunshine this early Friday on California’s north coast as we finish the first week of a new year.
