War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Glaringly hot with just a faint whisper of a breeze this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re just under 100 degrees right now, but forecast to enter the dreaded triple-digit zone tomorrow and boil into maybe 110-to-113 territory by the middle of next week. Welcome to the future. And of the future,…
Breezy and warm this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — a nice respite from the heat-domed boil that has been part of being alive in these parts the last couple of weeks (supposedly, the ‘boil’ moves to the eastern US next week) and we’re scheduled to stay this way for a few days.…
It’s heartbreaking horror continuing in Gaza this weekend. Although four Israeli hostages held by Hamas since October were rescued yesterday, the carnage required to get the job done was really, really hideous — the ruthless slaughter astounding. The IDF planned the rescue for weeks: However, shit can hit the fan, and it did — details…
Cool, clear, and sunshine-sweet this near-noon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — a wondrous respite from the ‘heat dome‘ influence of the last couple of days, but it’s reportedly only a short spell as we’re forecast to be back into triple-digit temp territory come Tuesday. Similarly, in defiance of the horror of modern life…
Clear, bright, and hot as shit already just past the noon hour Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re under an intense triple-digit-heat advisory for the next couple of days; then a ‘cooling‘ span over the weekend (temps ‘only‘ in the high 90s), followed with an abrupt return to 100-plus warmth for early next week.…
Bright sunshine in hot air just past the noon hour Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — we were hoping to make it to Wednesday before the heat set in this week, but no way. Temps are at triple digits for already today, and not a stir-wisp of a breeze either. Weather the heat with…
Heavy-weighed warmth despite a semi-overcast sky this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley with clear-yellow sunshine occasionally brightening the landscape, though, the tone is more muted than actually considered anywhere near hot. A gentle, soft breeze that’s been swirling around all day long has kept the edge off those temperatures. An edge reportedly to…
Surprised the shit out of me! And to come this fast — I didn’t expect a verdict this quick, maybe tomorrow or Saturday at best. But shit: Big news — the InterWebs are wild (via The Washington Post): ‘Donald Trump has been convicted on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Trump, who was…
Bright sunshine and warmish temperatures this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley. Scrolling through the cycle just a bit ago, I eyed a piece of shit news that although true to form, seemed to touch the sharp edge of reality and the ‘alternative facts‘ colored life of the T-Rump-rolled nowadays. Apparently, he soulfully should…
Once again without shame or remorse (well, there’s some contrition, but not much), we here at Compatible Creatures present our ongoing plea to lay down some coin for my novel, “Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona,” self-published a couple of years ago by Outskirts Press. The Amazon/Kindle page is here. My author’s page at Outskirts…
