War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Just when you figured the freaked-out plate was full, from global warming to ISIS to Trump/Palin, now comes the cash-flow event — from NASDAQ this afternoon: ‘The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 376 points, or 2.4 percent, to 15640, after earlier dropping as much as 565 points.’ Rapidly-tanking oil prices are sucking everybody down the drain-hole…
(Illustration found here). New research published last week from the University of Michigan indicates a noticeable shift to weed as the best medicine. As more states legalize cannabis consumption, many more people will likely use medical marijuana as a supplement to or substitution for prescription drugs, says a University of Michigan researcher. A new study…
Sunshine this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, for a little while anyway, as the bright is buffered by decent cloud cover. Supposedly, a short break today with another ass-kicker rainstorm due tomorrow evening and into Friday — next nice, clear-weather day forecast maybe for Sunday. Nowadays, weather chit-chat ain’t idle. In a case of…
Overcast and gray this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast as real-rain has given way to misty drizzle and sparse sprinkles — the big storm supposedly for today was quiet for us along the shoreline. Forecasters call for a slight-period of semi-dry until Thursday. In another type respite, yesterday I put $20 worth of gas…
Overcast and getting darker this Monday afternoon on California’s north coast as we wait for another big rainstorm due anytime now — and reportedly some strong winds, too, to blow the wet all over everything. This whole week is scheduled for storm-after-storm, at least until Friday, but according to the NWS, no straight downpour: ‘There…
Drizzling rain right now this Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast as apparently the bulk of our latest storm has moved eastward, and maybe down to sprinkles for us by early evening. According to the NWS, two-inches of rain already just this morning, coupled to a drizzle near-continuous, and after a short break, another heavy…
Deceptive skies this early Friday on California’s north coast as we encounter a gentle respite in these ‘conveyor-style’ rain storms the last month or so — especially the last batch carrying a shitload of moisture. And supposedly, we’re just hours away from another drenching with forecasts calling for possible 3-to-5-inches of rain for the area…
Rain near-about continuously this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast, with precipitation coming in all forms, from light, misty-drizzle to heavy, hard-banging droplets — all soak-you-quick nonetheless. As an old guy waiting for a brain fade, this is more excellent news for me on medical marijuana’s influence on some forms of dementia, as this recent…
Overcast with fairly-strong wind gusts this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast we we get set to launch into another round of storm fronts. The NWS calls for one-to-three-inches of rain with winds maybe gusting up to 45 mph here along the shoreline for later today. As a single parent of five kids — four…
In my own personal history, one of the weirdest, disconcerting moments for me was when I first glimpsed David Bowie’s, ‘Diamond Dogs‘ album in a record store — a freaked-intellectual stare of madness right out into the open air — times were feeling strange. The summer of 1974 was way-extraordinary for me, and although not…
