War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Rainy, fog-bound, but warm this Thursday morning on California’s north coast as we trip lightly to the end of another month. And with the calender comes a shitload of stuff the average, walking-around American will have trouble trying to understand, despite all the shrill noise from DC and its environs. Understanding all the ugly might…
Middle of the week — ya-hoo! Unless it’s that Yahoo, and then it’s get thee to the office you lazy home workers! Clear and cold this morning — the moon slightly less-than-round — and the whole sky along California’s north coast has a full dose of white light outlying life in this land of the not-so-fast lane.…
Tuesday morning cold and clear on California’s north coast with rain predicted for this afternoon and tomorrow, but this is 2013, not 1963 — we’re in the formative stages of the real tempest in a teapot. Weather’s going to be anything but normal. In the final days to Friday, and the crossing of the Rubicon,…
Here we go again — another Monday morning here on California’s northern coast, facing a week ahead full of strange, wondrous and most-ugly shit from both inside and outside the noodle. High overcast with the near-full moon a puffer-ed, white eyeball staring through the clouds and occasionally winking, as in ‘wink, wink, nudge, nudge.’ Of…
Another Sunday morning, the last one of February, and the next few days will lead up to a new month but the same-old shit. On Friday, a legislative trigger will automatically snap back, force the hammer down and pop a cap at who/whatever’s in the vicinity – unfortunately, just about all regular Americans will catch at least…
Next Friday — the snap-cut heard all around DC. Despite Village headmaster Bob Woodward’s assertion President Obama “owns” the up-coming sequester, Republicans are the source. Obama called ’em out in his speech this morning: “Are Republicans in Congress really willing to let these cuts fall on our kids’ schools and mental health care just to protect…
Clear and cold again this Friday morning and the big winter storm expected from earlier this week hasn’t panned out as bad as originally figured. Of course, nothing like the horror show now engulfing middle America — Wichita, Kansas, hit with a record 14-inches of snow, and more to come. Across the US this morning, there’s…
Overcast, dark and gloomy this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, but not as cold as yesterday. No matter our weather, it ain’t nothing like the big storm getting ready to blanket Middle America with more than a foot of snow, and along with that, added into the mix will be lightning and sleet showers — whoa!…
(Illustration found here). Clear and cold this early Wednesday morning on California’s north coast and although we experienced hail, snow flurries and rain yesterday morning, the sun came out later on and life was nice. Supposedly in the midst of a big winter storm right now, here along the Pacific rim weather can be strange…
Rainy and cold this early Tuesday on California’s north coast and we’re forecast to get thunderstorms later today — the golden days appear to be over for awhile. Weather, however, never sits still. Seemingly, time is of the essence this morning as the chore of surfing the news has left me kind of empty to…
