War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Whoa! Fuck! A fairly-massive earthquake off Ferndale about half-an-hour ago — according to the USGS, a 6.5 jarred a spot about 115 miles west/southwest of where I’m located. At the time, I was enjoying my initial cup of coffee, and my first cigarette of the day — didn’t feel a thing, so a shock to…
Overcast this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, with rain expected at any minute — supposedly rain until Saturday, at least, and some forecast to be fairly-decent in downfall. And cold-as-shit this morning, too. However, we on the shoreline are under an NWS ‘Frost Advisory,’ vs a few miles inland, and a ‘Freeze Warning.’ A degree-or-two…
Overcast this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, with threat of rain showing itself. Cold tonight, too, for a week of wet ahead. Ahead also is life in the ‘post-truth‘ era of American life — reverberating the concept, Margaret Sullivan at the Washington Post on Sunday invoked the fear: ‘It’s time to dust off your old…
Sunshine bright and air that’s cold this Monday morning on California’s north coast, though, rain is forecast maybe by early evening. Temps dropping — the NWS calls for snowfall down tonight to 2,500 feet, with 1-to-3-inches for Berry Summit on 299, 1-to-3-inches at Collier Tunnel on 199. The season cometh, 16 days hence… In discussing…
Overcast and cold this early Friday on California’s north coast, and supposedly maybe some sunshine later, with no rain forecast until Sunday. As T-Rump bumbles into control, Americans at least for the moment are in decent economic times. The Labor Department released some good numbers this morning — 178,000 new jobs in in November, and unemployment…
Crystal-Clear and crispy-cold this early Thursday on California’s north coast, a combo that makes for some bright, sharp sunshine. According to the NWS, nice weather, but on the chilled-side until at least maybe Sunday. Also a first for us on the shoreline this morning, I think, was our first ‘Frost Advisory’ of the season. However,…
Overcast with an occassional light drizzle this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — supposedly, the wet should evaporate by noon, then sunshine all the way through the weekend. According to the NWS, we’re to shift from ‘Chance Rain,’ to ‘Mostly Sunny‘ today to usher in the nice-weather stretch. Transition word for this post could…
Sharp, clean sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, way-chilly, though. As a former newspaper writer-person, reporting on T-Rump and his off-vibrates has got to be weird as shit — for the first-time ever in public discourse, lying is the new reality. Journalism has a challenge — CNN‘s Christiane Amanpour nailed the bottom-line in…
Sunshine shines right now this Monday morning on California’s north coast — rain again this afternoon (about 40-percent chance), and supposedly a nice stretch of clear skies by Thursday, and brightly, hopefully further on into the weekend. Weather nowadays is rather complicated, however… In the latest horror, shit-lie from T-Rump — bigley voter fraud — he’s…
Steady rainfall pushed by a chilled wind this bleak, not yet black Friday on California’s north coast — a drenching through the weekend. As smoke clears off the turkey, one local issue of concern in the continuing T-Rump travails is the question on the status of marijuana. Mark Kleiman, who served as Washington state’s top…
