War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sunshine and comfortable temperatures this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re closing another weekend as 2024 appears to be pounding ahead, it’s hard to believe we’re already nearly halfway through the year. Seems/feels like just this morning was Christmas. In contrast, today it appeared to be a rarity nowadays — a slow…
Just an afternoon’s glance at a small angle of our daily news cycle. First, Joe Biden’s team has a way with a red-hot poker burn as news the Dow Jones Industrial Average stock index touched 40,000 briefly for the first time today and Fox news hounds went to babbling positive: Next: Beyond wingnuts’ joy misplaced…
Bright sunshine and getting-warm temperatures just past the noon hour Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — the summer routine still playing out early in heat and color. In keeping with the subject line from yesterday’s post on my first encounter with the wondrous weed long, long ago and far, far away, Joe Biden this…
Today 50 years ago was also a Wednesday. In those days I was a senior at the University of Florida and was less than a month away from graduating. Although I had the GI Bill for financial assistance, during the last two years of college I worked part-time at the Sears, Roebuck store there in…
Sunshine and heavy warmth this early-evening Friday here in California’s Central Valley — maybe even the first unofficial day of summer as temps climb into the 90s and officially (for me) the start of T-shirt weather. Meanwhile, beyond the political horror of the T-Rump and in the shadow of the wonderful courtroom performance of Stormy…
Clear skies and super-bright sunshine this Tuesday late afternoon here in California’s Central Valley — despite the chilled-airish breezes all day (temps in the usually-warmish mid-70s), summer-like shit will supposedly take hold at the end of this week. We’re forecast to be in the 90s by Friday; unless the wind keeps its cool-down effect going,…
Crystal-clear skies empowering still-brighter sunshine this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Off the normal topics of shitty T-Rump-related news — his ‘hush money‘ criminal trial numbed the senses today again in NYC; he explained to Time magazine just how horrid and undemocratic a second term of his would actually be; among a filthy…
Ugly on a Friday — overcast this near noon in California’s Central Valley, yet nothing like the hideous goings-on back East. History’s real-time living sucks. In a for instance: T-Rump this morning being the piece-of-shit asshole with the horrible, shitty irony of being a total-creep of an unfaithful husband (Business Insider): It’s better than a…
Seventeen years ago this afternoon Compatible Creatures sprung forth out into the InterWebs. And later that evening in April 2007, my first post — aptly entitled, ‘Word‘ — was published, and from then henceforth life hasn’t been the same. The first-ever post was wordly-short and notedly on point: In an age where events are known…
I’d never seen this photo from June 2018 — I was then being prepared for surgery and wasn’t too much into scrolling the InterWebs. This the lede from The Hill piece on the pix: ‘Comedian Kathy Griffin and adult-film actress Stormy Daniels posed together in a photo this week raising a middle finger to President…
