War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Drizzling rain and chilly this early Friday on California’s north coast — this bit of thin-wet caught me by surprise as I thought we were suppose to go dry and warm for a few days. However, sunshine is predicted for today sometime, and then good weather until middle of next week. Interesting piece from the Guardian…
(Illustration: ‘California Redwoods3,’ by Will Borden, found here). Bright sunshine and gusty winds this near-noon Thursday on California’s north coast as we start a decent-sized episode of clear weather, an attitude supposedly to last until at least the middle of next week — according to the WunderBlog‘s weather thingy, the precipitation percentage appears on the…
Drizzling rain-showers this gray Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — a good-weather period slated after today, though, with clear skies and even warm temperatures supposedly through the end of next week. Always on the outlook for ironic situations, a new study confirms what I’d figured forever, both as a kid, and later as a…
Overcast overshadowing coming rain-showers this near-noon Tuesday on California’s north coast — sunshine earlier, but gray now, and as the NWS ambiguously-noted, ‘Scattered Showers then Showers Likely,’ for tonight, ‘Showers Likley‘ for Wednesday. CYA poetic for not much real-rain ‘likely.’ And also most-likely, the news cycle today dominated by US politics — the so-called Acela primary. Yesterday…
Sunshine and a near-cloudless sky this early Monday on California’s north coast, but chilly with frost warnings for the area, and again for tonight, too. Rain indicated for Wednesday, but after that from the looks of the WunderBlog weather thingy, dry conditions until at least the middle of next week. We made the online LA Times…
Nine years ago today was a Tuesday. Late in the afternoon on April 24, 2007, “Compatible Creatures,” clicked into virtual life. Utilizing Wi-Fi at Linnaea’s Cafe in downtown San Luis Obispo, a few miles east of California’s central coastline, and via a then-brand-new Dell laptop, I published my first post, titled, ‘Word,’ about some shenanigans in…
Raining fairly steady this early Friday on California’s north coast as this particular weather episode seems to be carrying more moisture than forecast. Showers on-and-off — sunshine floods the senses every-now-and-then. Pretty-wet so far this year, though. Rainfall totals for March released by the NWS this morning, reveals we made a big splash. My spot way-near…
Warm sunshine soothed by a chilled breeze this near-noon Thursday on California’s north coast, supposedly becoming overcast later today as rain is expected to arrive tonight and linger-around into Friday. The NWS doesn’t use the word ‘rain‘ in its forecast, however, instead opted for the less-wet, ‘Showers,’ to indicate precipitation levels. And today, of course, is…
Sunshine with a nice, warm breeze this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — another wonder day, with maybe a ‘Slight Chance Rain‘ tomorrow night and into Friday, but not much expected. Weather the day… And of course, today is another ‘4-20’ episode, code for inhaling marijuana — as says Steve Capper, one of the…
A goodly part of California is the Pacific Ocean. Although just hugging our coast, the Pacific carries a shitload of influence all over, spread out vast to the west from where I’m sitting, and is apparently getting smothered. Climate change and the ‘other CO2 problem.’ Oceans absorb about a quarter of the CO2, changing the…
