War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear and a little chilly this way-early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and hopefully we’ll have another gorgeous day like Monday. Yesterday afternoon I worked on my truck in shirtsleeves — no sweatshirt, jacket or anything — this as good as it gets weather-wise up here. No matter the season. Seemingly, the story today is…
Clear with bright sunshine and much-warmer temperatures this afternoon on California’s north coast, the best day we’ve had in a while. We’re at 53 degrees right now, with a high earlier of 59 — rain is expected by Wednesday, but who really knows? Early this morning a shitty episode — some asshole pilfered the radio…
Monday again and there ain’t much I can do about it — chilly and a bit overcast this morning on California’s north coast with a near-full moon (Waxing Gibbous, 99 percent illuminated) hanging majestically out over the Pacific Ocean. Weather is returning to about normal for these parts, but some US residents are still feeling…
She would have been a neat person to hang out with, always interesting, always entertaining, conversations on a shitload of topics — if she could’ve spoke unfettered, and been herself. Emily Dickinson was most-likely a great self entertainer, too. Writers are weird, and poets worse of all. And just from what I’ve gathered about her,…
(Illustration: Children escorted away from Sandy Hook Elementary School, Dec. 14, 2012, found here). A lot of coverage today on the anniversary of the Newtown, Connecticut, “shooting” — now a near-normal word for any type public firearms exhibition-event, whether it be a mall, a barbershop, Navy base, or, school. Two weeks ago, Connecticut’s AG issued…
Clear and not-so-cold this afternoon on California’s north coast — some high cloud haze dulls the sunshine every-now-and-then, but still nice outside. Far, far away, winter weather harshly walloped Jerusalem and a big chunk of the Middle East: “We are battling a storm of rare ferocity,” Mayor Nir Barkat said as snow in the Holy…
Clear and chilly-cold this early Friday on California’s north coast as we power-up for the weekend. Right now, we’re at 45 degrees and on the road to a balmy 60 by Sunday — the ice age has passed, for now. And in the contradictory weirdness of climate change, odd is normal (via Climate Central): The…
Cloudy-gray skies mostly this afternoon on California’s north coast, though, on occasion a splash of sunshine. Still cold at 49 degrees with a supposed-chance of rain tonight. On a warmer note, we’re forecast to be back in the 60s by Sunday. An oversea story perked my interest amongst the skewed-news this PM, one from the…
Clear and cold again this Thursday morning up here on California’s north coast, with the weather hopefully, slowly moving out of the news spotlight. We’re at 37 degrees right now on our way to a high of 53, and some rain forecast for tonight — but who knows. Beyond the chatter on the Congressional budget bargain-basement…
Cloudless skies this afternoon on California’s north coast and abundant sunshine — but still a bit cold, but nothing like the past few days. We’re at about 53 degrees right now with a low tonight forecast to be well-above freezing. Enough weather, already. In the precarious events-cycle this PM, a quick surf indicates a semi-slow…
