War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Intense sunshine this afternoon and a pleasant, comfortable wind — gorgeous! One more for the Left Coast: California is the first to ban plastic bags at the state level. Gov. Moonbeam Brown signed the law today — Lost Coast Outpost has the local angle. And the major ingredient of those bags is oil — reportedly…
Clear and chilly this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — we’re forecast for some warm weather the next few days, supposedly near 80 tomorrow. Here so near the shoreline, though, all bets are either hedged, or called-off completely. Interesting weather-related new thing this morning, the NWS issued its first/last freeze warning dates for the…
Monday morning overcast and chilly on California’s north coast — sunshine later on is in the forecast. Maybe, maybe not. In the ugly business of news gathering, this was historically sad: Former Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee is in hospice care after his health has declined over the past two months, said his wife, Sally Quinn.…
Overcast with a fog-like damp chill here early Sunday on California’s north coast — and a little-bit of a breeze, too. A logical lede to a surprise story I spied only this morning about climate, and, wind. Our only home is the earth — an awesome, interconnected organism, arranged on many levels — and rising…
Warm sunshine and a soft, cool breeze this Saturday afternoon, on California’s north coast. Weekend days are so different those days in rest of the week on a shitload of levels — even the tempo is dissimilar, time itself seems to bend a little. Now a month-old retiree, I’ve suddenly inherited big blocks of time…
Clear with just a bit of haze this early Friday on California’s north coast — and chilly as always with morning sunshine. The storm just past dumped a whopper of rain on Eureka, just a few miles south of where I’m located, with more than two-and-a-half inches on Wednesday — a record for the date,…
Overcast with a sharp-chilly wind this Thursday morning on California’s north coast — maybe more rain today, but the chances are slim. We did get some good totals from that last couple of days, especially here on the shoreline were storms can pass right over us. According to the NWS preliminary rainfall totals, my little town…
Steady rain and a gray quiet this afternoon — war the topic. Yet what is war? Via CNN: Mass shootings have been occurring more frequently in recent years, an FBI study shows, with nearly one incident a month from 2000 to 2013…Seventy percent of the incidents “occurred in either a commerce/business or educational environment,” the…
Rain in the gutters this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — NWS reports ‘Heavy Rain’ today with three-quarters to one inch expected. After just waking up sometime this morning between one and two o’clock, I was sing-songed back to sleep just at the rainstorm’s arrival — an orchestrated musical, lightly starting with a single, soft…
Windy, darkly-overcast, and storm-awaiting this afternoon here on California’s north coast — supposedly this up-coming wet-weather front could maybe douse us with a couple of inches of rain. And the wind is more-than brisk, gusting supposedly up to 25 mph, and really warm — winds coming out of the south, from over the Pacific, and…
