North Coast ‘Bomb Cyclone’

Rain and gusty winds this already-dark, early-evening Tuesday here on California’s north coast — nearly right on predicted time this afternoon, the storm’s leading edge arrived in the neighborhood. First blustery winds, quickly followed by increasingly thick, pelting rain. Lately and so far, the storm is erupting in episodes with an eerie, nearly-surreal quiet in…

‘The dog is incredible. Actually incredible’ — Rain Tomorrow

Sharp sunshine slivered by a stinging, cold wind this late-afternoon Monday here on California’s north coast.

Foggy-dark-already this early-evening Monday here on California’s north coast, closing time to another dark day which did carry occasional sparks of sunlight through low-hanging clouds, briefly shinning, then returning to dismal.

Near-windless, bright and warm this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast, and despite the beautiful day, another ride on the edge of darkness supposedly this weekend punctures any kind of happy balloon.

‘The Bahamas is Presently at War and Being Attacked by Hurricane Dorian’

Sunshine this late-afternoon Monday here on California’s north coast — been a fine Labor Day, with a chilly component found in the shade. Fog this morning beach-side on a dog walk at Ma-le’l Dunes; the gray burned-off a bit on occasion to let some sunshine glow, creating some warmth, but overhead mostly all misty-ash. Our…

Climate Change Action: ‘Under Pressure’

Sunny and nice this Thursday evening here in California’s north coast — summer’s near-about two-thirds gone. A bit under-the-weather the past few days with a head cold of sorts, a condition which probably started late last week, but came to fruition over the weekend and made my life decently-miserable since Monday. I feel much better…
