Increasing Heat & Humidity

Nostalgia Going through the many boxes of my late brother I discovered a large bin of albums ( the stuff played on platters with a tonearm) and a pristine Akai reel-to-reel studio recorder.  He was an audiophile like myself.  The studio recorder weighs about 60 pounds and comes with a mixtape of popular rock bands […]

Early Fall Guess (outlook)

It is not as strong as some from past years, but it is strong enough to impact both the ocean and the atmosphere. Knowing that we should have an active La Niña event again, what […]

Garden & Earwigs

I ate the first cherry tomatoes out of my garden last night.  The cucumbers, banana peppers, and green onions have been producing well and taste delicious.  The larger tomatoes are coming on well but are still green.  I never liked fried green tomatoes.  I also have bell peppers coming on, along with several varieties of […]
