War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In reality, is it an hour later, or an hour earlier? My kitchen clock already set to my laptop — time begone! Via Vox this morning: When clocks leap forward in the spring, researchers have found, rates of heart attacks,traffic accidents, and workplace injuries tend to increase slightly — likely the effect of millions of people’s bodies being forced…
An encounter too-close of any kind. According to NASA: ‘Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) are comets and asteroids that have been nudged by the gravitational attraction of nearby planets into orbits that allow them to enter the Earth’s neighborhood.’ Quaint — and one of those NEOs is scheduled to give us a close-bypass tomorrow afternoon, and it’s…
Bright sunshine curdled by a chilly breeze this early Friday afternoon on California’s north coast — clear sailing supposedly until Sunday with another rain-front expected, and more cool temperatures. In this particular age of much-ado ‘political correctness,’ comes an odd/normal study of how humans actually physically touch: As expected, emotionally closer individuals in inner layers of…
Bright and breezy this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast — feels a bit cooler outside as the autumn season continues to shift right along. Rain supposedly Sunday and maybe on into Monday, though appears another short-lived front, so not much on the totals. Rain is part of the natural flow, of course, created from…
Another debate-episode this evening in the creepy-clownish GOP traveling circus — via the Guardian‘s live blog of the event, and The Donald’s closing statement: Our country doesn’t win anymore. We used to. We lose on trade, we lose with Isis. With Iran. We don’t win. These folks, CNBC. $250,000 for a 30-second ad. Nobody wants to…
Breezy-bright sunshine and rolling, blustery clouds this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast. The rainstorm from last night gone this morning — leaving a small, barely-damp footprint, and a clear, sparkling sunrise. Photo at the right is a sky-shot off my back patio a little-bit earlier, an overall epitome-picture of the weather around my abode…
Overcast skies submerged into a deep, gray environment this Tuesday evening on California’s north coast, and although there’s only been a sprinkle of rain every-now-and-then, a fairly-big storm is due tonight. According to the NWS, we could get more than half-an-inch in this latest patch, with the next one due the middle of next week.…
As a paranoid-resident of quake land, the 7.5 shaker in northeast Afghanistan is remarkable in its longevity. Tremor time is most-best in brevity — in Kabul, five hours and 150 miles south of the epicenter, intense way-too long, as ‘…buildings trembled for up to 45 seconds…‘ Forever on a seismic clock. (Illustration found here). Deep…
Bright sunshine and clear skies this Monday morning on California’s north coast, as the bit of rain we felt this past weekend now only a memory. Supposedly, we get a respite today and tomorrow with another storm front due to move through the area Tuesday night — rain/showers expected every three-four days as we seem…
Last night at a Iowa fundraiser, Bernie Sanders proclaimed about the entire Republican Party: “They suffer from amnesia.” Mental incoherence is required — under the watch of the last GOP president: Worse attack ever on US soil, created a never-ending war in the Middle East, worse-ever response to a natural disaster, and, was oblivious to a…
