War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Damp-fog of a marine layer this Monday afternoon, as bright, clear sunshine much earlier has been replaced by deep-gray, amplified in muffled tones. Beyond ‘Fat Tony’ dying and the ensuing GOP cluster-crazy over President Obama’s constitutional rights, was a truth-chime from The Donald among the chaos of last Saturday night’s Republican debate: “Obviously, the war…
Chilled sunshine and scattered, deep-blue skies this early Saturday on California’s north coast, and although the air feels a sharped-coldness, we’re well above any freezing temperatures. A bit of drizzle yesterday, but no rain expected until Wednesday when a decent-sized front is forecast to swing across the shoreline. This morning, the NWS released preliminary rainfall totals…
Overcast with an occasional flare of bright sunshine this Friday morning on California’s north coast, a little on the chilly side, but if current conditions persist for awhile, we’ll be nice and warm by noonish. A 50-percent chance rain later today and tonight, supposedly not much, though. Big storm with some decent moisture forecast for…
Buried beneath continuous news awash with death, destruction, and The Donald, events in the oil industry are low-key, but financially catastrophic on many levels. Good nutshell-analysis at OilPrice.com: This downward spiral will lead to further credit downgrades and bankruptcies within the oil patch. All the while, access to credit is shrinking across all sectors due to…
Bright and warm this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast as we continue enjoying a bit of summer-like weather in supposedly the middle of winter. No decent rain expected until the middle of next week. An environmental crazy that’s just getting warmed up — yet young people are not getting the message. In a new…
Faded-yellow sunshine this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, another mild day is expected, though, some patchy drizzle could happen in particular spots in the morning. Maybe rain late Thursday, with about a 50/50-chance Friday, but nothing forecast deep-wet until the end of next week. Beaches tomorrow will once again become ‘potentially hazardous‘ (the NWS),…
Thinly-overcast with some faded sunshine this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast as we continue with some warmth, too. Not like yesterday, where we reached 80 degrees in my neighborhood about the noon hour, but still warm enough to have windows open to the air. All along the north coast temperature records were set on…
Bright, glaring sunshine this early Monday on California’s north coast, and way-warm, too — feels weird. Beautiful, though, and highly regarded, so feel the burn — we could get above 70 today. Supposedly, there’s a strong ridge of high pressure over the western US, keeping El Niño at bay, creating off-season conditions — Steve Anderson,…
High overcast with a good sprinkling of bright sunshine this Friday morning on California’s north coast, and still way-chilly even so. We supposedly did get down to 39-degrees earlier, and it feels like it hasn’t warmed-up very much since. And although appearances right now indicate otherwise, we’re in for a warm stretch and could maybe…
Sunshine through the clouds this early Thursday on California’s north coast, all tempered by a sharp, chilly wind. A small respite from the rain, with just ‘a chance’ the next few days. Nothing is guaranteed, though. Except maybe Iraq — supposedly the cradle of civilization is a nightmare (via USAToday): ‘Iraq said Tuesday it is…
