War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear with a slightly-chilled breeze this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast as the work week grinds onward, and maybe downward. In a somewhat good news, authorities in Oklahoma have dropped the number of deaths from Monday’s tornado to only 24 (though, seven were children) and a terrible clean-up begins. In the midst of all…
A bit of ground fog and high overcast this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — and quiet, too. Weather, though, ain’t the same everywhere. Yesterday in Oklahoma: The preliminary rating of the tornado that hit Moore at 3:17 p.m. CT (4:17 p.m. ET) was put at EF-4, which means wind speeds from 166 to…
Foggy and overcast this way-too-early Monday with another work week staring me straight in the face — the only consolation is it will be Friday again before anyone really notices. Time seems to slow just a hair on the weekend, then blasts off again into the week. Little-known off-the-wall factoid: The average respondent in the…
Not a note of happiness or ease-of-mind: A shallow magnitude 4.4 earthquake was reported Saturday morning 17 miles from Rio Dell, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The temblor occurred at 6:46 a.m. PDT at a depth of 11.8 miles. According to the USGS, the epicenter was 21 miles from Fortuna, 34 miles from Eureka…
Friday again! Time is traveling at seemingly breakneck speeds nowadays and here we stand on the threshold of another weekend, with the living warm and overcast up here on California’s north coast — and it can’t come any sooner. This past month has been dramatic — the Boston bombings, the shoot down of a gun…
A gentle spring rain this morning on California’s north coast, quiet and soft like a baby’s bottom — warm, too, like a full diaper. If this was the weekend, good sleeping weather. But it’s only Thursday and it’s just wet. And because of last night, I will face the horror before the weekend: A jackpot of…
Patchy cloud cover this early Wednesday allows a few twinkling stars to peek through and later maybe the sun will arise like thunder — up here on California’s north coast, however, the shine will most-likely be only a squeaky peek. The weather’s been quiet around these parts lately, but that don’t mean it ain’t screaming…
Clear and warm this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — the low-roar sound of the peaceful Pacific seems to come from afar, though, the ocean is only a mile or two away. Noise depends on the air. And in DC, the din has become nearly oppressive. President Obama has most-likely shit in his mess…
Deep ground fog this early Monday on California’s north coast and will most-likely burn off before too long — another ‘normal‘ day fashioning itself. Quiet and still — a facade to the upcoming work week that will most-likely produce more bat-shit crazy. The good, ole US of A is one messed-up place — Shannon Roberts at…
Sunday morning up here on California’s northern coast and the living is cool. And the hunt for triple-homicide suspect Shane Miller continues just south of where I’m at — he’s charged with killing his wife and two daughters last week over in Shasta County, about 200 miles east of here. Miller knows the area and has…
