War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Reportedly, at a little after 4 AMÂ out here on California’s north coast, the sun will cross directly over the Earth’s equator during a moment known as the vernal equinox when both day and night are about equal, or spring has sprung. The change of the seasons, however, seems to remain the same. War bones are…
(Illustration found here). Ten years along and the recipients of “shock and awe” know it as a wide-awake nightmare — from the NY Times: At the pet market, Karrar Habeeb, a 22-year-old carpenter, paused, surprised to be asked about what was surely the defining event of his youth. “I didn’t know about it,†Mr. Habeeb…
Personally, I’m pretty-much sick and tired of the fuckin’ public. As manager of a liquor store, I’ve seen just about every kind of asshole, listened to way-too many deplorably-sad stories, and encountered a general mass of people who in recent times have become so delusional, and so fucked-completely-up, it’s really hard to fathom. And it ain’t just…
Here we are again — Friday! High overcast this morning on California’s north coast and in getting ready for the weekend the weather for me doesn’t really play a part. The weekend is for catching up on sleep. The news cycle remains the same — shit here, shit there. And I can’t wrap anything of…
Thick ground fog and a deep quiet this early Thursday morning on California’s north coast — an obscuring haze seemingly covering the whole, wide world. Especially in DC. President Obama’s so-called “charm offensive” with House Republicans lost its glitter on the likes of John ‘The Boner’ Boehner, who blubbered all kinds of negatives after meeting…
Overcast and quiet this early Wednesday morning here on California’s north coast — either low clouds or high fog, I can’t tell the difference only that there’s no stars in sight. And this the middle of the fabled work-week and a lot of garbage has piled up by now. The first two days is for…
Overcast and still warm this way-early Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, and if the recent past is any indication, this day will either be foggy, sunny or a mixture of both — who’s to really say? Weather up here is almost the same year ’round, not like just about everywhere else. Beyond the noodle…
Once again another Monday morning and there’s absolutely nothing I can do about it. The shit starts anew — a work-week opus. Overcast and a bit warm here on California’s north coast, but still so far not a bad winter — not much rainfall either, which could mean a drought situation south of us this…
Forgot the DST this morning, even with all the news-site-blurbs yesterday yakking about ‘spring forward’ — a good thing it’s Sunday and there’s no place of got-to-be, so time can just go and kiss my… Ask a lot of US peoples and this lost hour of sleep is “torture,” panic-filled, “with more than a little…
Wondering a bit this evening, reading about another astro-podic close encounter of earth with a chunk of space rock, the one this afternoon ‘…big as a city block…’ glided past about 600,000 miles up — as Reuters explained: That’s about 2-1/2 times as far as the moon, fairly close on a cosmic yardstick. A space…
