War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Damp-gray early Friday here on California’s north coast, seemingly the morning-norm nowadays, a way-contrast with recent afternoons of clear, bright skies and warm temperatures. Locally, however, the word, ‘warm,’ doesn’t at all necessarily mean ‘hot‘ — the NWS says we could top 70-degrees today, but I doubt it. Enjoy-ability (and chill factor) depends on the wind,…
Once again a dense and damp marine layer blankets the north coast of California this early Thursday, accompanied by a moist-chill to the air — foggy now, but in just a little while, most-likely bright-sunshine and warm temperatures. The grey was burned-off well-before noon yesterday, and maybe could today, too. In the wake of last…
Deep-fog and way-moist air this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, as we continue the summer of heat. Asshole Jim Inhofe talking some heinous shit last week (Think Progress yesterday): “You know, our kids are being brainwashed? I never forget because I was the first one back in 2002 to tell the truth about the…
Fog-city again this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, a repetition of repeating weather. Cool here, of course, but seemingly nowhere else. California and most of the US are engulfed in a horrific heat wave, festering wildfires — update this morning on the Santa Clarita fire near LA: ‘“It has averaged about 10,000 acres per day,”…
Gray and damp this Monday morning on California’s north coast, another day in the life. A bit of guilt even as we cool here on the Pacific shoreline, not far eastward temperatures way-climb, sometimes 20-30-degrees higher — meanwhile, across a big chunk of the US right now, the notorious “heat dome” is frying the citizenry, though,…
Sunshine briefly, then a fog attack this early Friday on California’s north coast, and now an overcast gray with a chill to the air. Ironic, Orwellian-genre style: “If you want to hear the corporate spin, the carefully-crafted lies, and the media myths — the Democrats are holding their convention next week. But here, at our…
Rock and roll this Thursday afternoon — first time in awhile, an earthquake nearby. And not a little blip on the screen either — according to the USGS, a 4.8 shaker just southeast of Eureka, occurring at 4:09. So far, no aftershocks or any additional movement. Earthquakes are frighting — I was sitting on the…
Fog-banked again this early Thursday on California’s north coast — not to fret, though, sunshine and warmth will grace our locale, probably before noon. We’re chilled out here right now, but the US midsection is currently sweltering under a phenomenon termed the ‘heat dome,’ or just being way-sweaty, and way-hot. (Illustration found here). In our…
Cloudy with a chilly air this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — the weather lately becoming like the old, monotonous standard, ‘shampoo, rinse, repeat.’ The days becoming really similar — gray and gloomy in the morning, bright and cheerful in the afternoon. Not a complaint whatsoever. We’ve one of the continual most-pleasant weather situations…
Foggy-gray again this early-afternoon Tuesday on California’s north coast, most-likely a repeat of the last several days — cloudy/overcast until way late, then an anemic bit of sunshine before dark. Standard fare for the time… Another standard to the norm, Melania Trump’s plagiarism last night at the RNC — a view from Michael Gerson, former…
