War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
As the dark falls here on California’s North Coast, there’s still three hours til polls close — yet back east already, voting has stopped in some places, as the end result starts to gin up. I voted this morning at Arcata City Hall, and with no waiting at that moment, inked-in my ballot selections and…
Overcast on a slightly-gray Sunday evening here on California’s north coast — during the day, however, amidst breaks in cloud-cover, there’d be sparks of sunshine in shades from bright to faded-yellow. (Returning depressingly-too-quickly back to the aforementioned gray). And two days prior to the mother of all ballot boxes. Since the T-Rump was “elected with…
Via Slate this afternoon: CNN refused to take criticism from the president’s son. Donald Trump Jr. slammed the news network Saturday, claiming in a tweet that it had refused to run a racist immigration-related ad that had been sponsored by Donald J. Trump for President. “CNN refused to run this ad… I guess they only…
Sunny with a cool, brisk breeze this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast — on the countdown toward Tuesday. Trump is averaging — AVERAGING — 30 false or misleading claims a day in the last seven weeks. And, per the Fact Checker, he often of late soars far above that average. As one example: On…
Here this Thursday evening on California’s north coast, some light fog, blended with faded-yellow sunshine, and a pretty-nice day. NWS says ‘Mostly/Partly Cloudy’ the next couple of days, while WunderBlog forecasts mostly cloudy tomorrow and Saturday with rain coming maybe Sunday. Two sides of near-view…and we’ll see. My first blog since March 1 — shit…
Surprising sunshine this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, especially in light of all the bad weather that’s been forecast for the next few days. Awaiting some rain, even as the sun disappears now-and-again, the wet approaches. First post since last September — Compatible Creatures is nearly 11-years-old, with 2,851 posts published, and in all…
Heavy-sunshine and way-warm this early Sunday on California’s north coast — rare events the last couple of days days with clear, clean skies, very-little wind and heat — from the NWS this morning: ‘Another round of above normal temperatures is expected today, even for the coast!‘ Exclamation point! Beyond our ‘downright pleasant‘ weather here along the…
Time marches forward, no matter the bullshit tossed up into the fan of life — distraction is the byword now, and there’s plenty. Even as we digest T-Rump Jr.’s asshole antics, and the Senate’s confirmation hearings this morning for Christopher A. Wray as FBI director, the real, reality continues unabated. A massive Antarctic iceberg, more…
Windy and sunny this late-afternoon Friday on California’s north coast, drawing-down on another warm, gorgeous day. Early reports forecast maybe some rain for the end of next week, but right now a most-pleasant environment. T-Rump’s meltdown-yanking of the US out of the Paris climate accord was not the climate, or economics, or anything of logical-reason, but…
Bright-sunshine blended with a cool breeze this late-afternoon Thursday on California’s north coast — supposedly, the next two/three days to be mostly sunny, next rain forecast for maybe Monday/Tuesday. I’m way-beyond rain, rain go away… Of course, this particular day is ‘420 Day,’ or ‘Weed Day,’ most-likely marijuana’s only real holiday, and since I’m in…
