War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In the pre-dawn hours this last Sunday in March, and the quiet north coast of California is under-overcast skies with more rain forecast for maybe tonight or early tomorrow. Up earlier than usual for a weekend — couldn’t get back to sleep after a nocturnal awakening — and since no amount of thrashing about in…
Darkly-thick overcast skies this Saturday morning on California’s north coast — rain and more rain on the schedule for this weekend, and maybe to even next Wednesday. Big topic, though, ain’t the weather. Vin Scully with some of the play-by-play: “A little tremor in the ball park…I am not sure if the folks felt it,…
Overcast and wet this way-early Friday on California’s north coast as we swing furiously into the weekend. No actual rain right now, but we’re supposedly in the midst of a series of storm systems. And for today, a warm washing as this storm is one of those atmospheric river entities, floating up from Hawaii —…
Overcast, rain and fog this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we wade through about a week’s worth of wet weather. People a bit south of us, down ‘Frisco way, are experiencing “a little bit of everything,” including thunderstorms and hail, with an even bigger system due tomorrow. Up here we get rain in…
Raining fairly heavy this way-too-early Wednesday on California’s north coast, but maybe the sun will show itself later, like it did yesterday afternoon — gorgeous and warm. We need the rain, though, and lots more. Quick snapshot of America 2014 from Democratic pollster Celinda Lake: “Both parties are universally despised. The best thing the Republicans have…
“Ever read any Poe?” “No, but I loved her last album.” — “Panic Room” Raining and warm this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — we’re forecast for wet weather for the next week-to-10-days, so I might as well get used to it. A horror I talked about yesterday morning — a possible cracked head…
Clear and chilly this way-early Monday on California’s north coast as we start another work week as springtime seems have arrived unannounced. This past weekend was gorgeous — the skies clear and sunny with really-warm temperatures. I spent Headthe weekend grubbing around in my tiny “back yard,” which is no more than a thin strip…
Bright, bubbly and hot here this Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast — caps a gorgeous weekend as yesterday was much the same. In fact, in a rare instance for me in this region, I’m now weeding my little back-patio area in a T-shirt, which is a major thingy for an old-nerd’s skinny carcass. Right…
Dark this early Friday — Duh! And high overcast with a chilled breeze on California’s north coast as we’re only hours away from a weekend. Sitting here at the laptop in these pre-dawn hours is similar to sitting in a movie theater watching coming attractions without any sense of time, place or who. Delusion appears…
Overcast with a chilly breeze this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we grind through another work week. Friday is just a flip-of-the-finger away. We had a bit of nasty news yesterday afternoon from just south of us, down in Mendocino County, where a sheriff’s deputy was shot and killed in a shootout with…
