War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Gorgeous Tuesday afternoon here on California’s north coast — bright sunshine and a mild breeze, though, on the slightly-chilled side. Supposedly, clear until tomorrow night when maybe some rain, but no strong, wet-weather system forecast until the weekend. Enjoy… One week from today however, just-about any enjoyment will vanish — a presidential election of historic…
Halloween in the late afternoon and raining — frightful times all around. An Op/Ed yesterday in the LA Times by Leo Braudy, professor of English and American literature at USC, focused on the ‘monster‘ aspects of this crazed election cycle — key note: The monster strategy, with its shorthand depictions of dread and terror, has a…
High overcast with occasional stretches of blue sky, but no sun yet. We’re supposed to be clear this afternoon… In living with natural weather, we’ve also had to ‘weather,’ as in ‘cope,’ with a terrifyingly-horrible presidential election cycle — all despite the reality. This morning, Commerce Department data showed a 2.9-percent annualized increase in GDP,…
Steady downpour this early Thursday on California’s north coast — right now with rain coming straight down, the storm is maybe-directly overhead, apparently stalled in barely-noticeable wind. Heavy at times, it’s been raining nearly-continuous since late last night, dousing a lot of water on us. Our weather lately strongly-influenced by moisture from typhoons out of…
Overcast, though no rain as of yet this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — howling, gusty winds earlier, but quiet right now. Update sort of on my post yesterday about T-Rump’s lying — CYA, as the asshole concocted a rant against truth Tuesday afternoon in Florida (via The Star): “These fact-checkers, they’ll check facts…
Overcast this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, as we await another round of rain forecast for this afternoon, and seemingly the wet stuff slated for near-about the next 10 days. Meanwhile, a new study shows lying becomes easier the more you lie. Glaring example — Donald Trump, at least in public for a week…
Further details on that CO2 item I mentioned in the post earlier today — kind of a landmark, break-point. Per the Guardian: In 2015, for the first time, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere were at 400 parts per million (ppm) on average across the year as a whole, the World Meteorological Organisation’s (WMO) annual…
Rain splashing heavy on a Monday here along California’s north coast, the rainfall accompanied by some blustery winds, a situation supposedly here for awhile. In a Short Term Forecast this morning, the NWS predicts maybe a ‘rainfall rate around half-an-inch-per-hour‘ for some locations along the shoreline, which is a pretty-freaking load. Still a downward wet…
(Illustration: Annie Cardelle, and Ceci Cardelle, with Eric Trump and his wife, Lara, found here). As pure a demonstration of the ignorant-bullshit of the T-Rump operation was seen last Friday in South Carolina, where two sisters put the whole dumb-ass shebang on display. Eric Trump is way-dumber than he looks, and apparently so is everyone…
Overcast with some patchy-fog this early Friday on California’s north coast, and fairly-warm for the time frame. We’ve about a 10-percent chance of drizzle today, but a supposedly big rain to cycle in maybe by Sunday — all in the season. This morning, let’s set aside the creepy-freaky adventures of a roasting T-Rump for a second,…
