War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Cloudy and chilly this early-evening Wednesday here on California’s north coast. We had a bit of sun during the day, but by early afternoon the sky was just about all gray. A morning dog run at the Ma-le’l Dunes was warm and once again exerting… Anniversary of sorts today, a way-surreal moment from long, long…
An overcast and gray early-evening Tuesday here on California’s north coast, supposedly ‘Mostly Sunny,‘ or ‘Partly Cloudy‘ the next 10 days, probably-likely a mixture of both. Chilly right now… First post in 11 days — my old, overheating HP laptop finally fried-out on me, and I’m now working on a brand-new Acer Chromebook, ordered via…
Clear and chilly-windy this Friday evening on California’s north coast — nice and comfortable shoreline weather abaft the Redwood Curtain. Not nice and not comfortable is the T-Rump — lack of any fiber whatsoever. The Rashida Tlaib/Ilhan Omar cluster-fuck is completely ludicrous and just displays an axis of assholes, and even with Israel, which is…
Bright and chilly this early-evening Thursday here on California’s north coast. After some pretty-deep fog, the skies cleared onto a really beautiful afternoon. When the dogs and I arrived at Ma-le’l Dunes for our walk/run the area was coated in fog, but those grays were shortly thereafter softly burned-off into gentle, surrealistic colors. Another way-wonderful…
Sunshine, wind and blue skies this Wednesday late-afternoon here on California’s North Coast. We’re apparently in our warmth of summer (seaside definition of ‘warmth‘) with tomorrow’s temps maybe in the mid-70s. A dog walk/run in the AM at the Ma-le’l Dunes was gorgeous — short-sleeve/T-shirt time, which for me says a lot, and doesn’t happen…
Windy, sunshine-filled late afternoon Tuesday here on California’s North Coast — good weather off good climate. Speaking of which, this exchange during a Humboldt County Board of Supervisors meeting last February on a just-released North Coast climate assessment: Third District Supervisor Mike Wilson suggested that Humboldt County could be where “climate refugees” seek refuge. “We…
Beautiful Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, sunshine and warmth just about all day — a dog run to the Ma-le’l Dunes in the AM was exhaustively-most-enjoyable, and sweaty. The Redwood Gun Club’s firing range is just north of the South Unit of the Ma-le’l Dunes, where we always go, and although we did hear…
Life of the T-Rump’s action — via The Salt Lake Tribune this morning: Rep. Chris Stewart’s town hall meeting Wednesday evening quickly turned wild when — after three recent mass shootings — the first question asked how the government can better keep people safe amid such threats. Soon, the event devolved into a shouting match…
An old word badly needed for the nowadays, one I’d never heard before today, “hatriot” — this from two years ago, which went unnoticed by just about everybody: As explained at the Guardian this afternoon by Samuel G Freedman, author of eight books, a former New York Times columnist and currently a journalism professor at…
Overcast-gray this Tuesday evening on California’s north coast, with no sun appearance at all today — also a dog run to Little River State Beach this morning was the same, except for a chilled ocean breeze. Showers maybe on Saturday, and supposedly remain ash-like all week. Best illustration I’d seen yet on mass shootings, America…
