War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear skies this morning on California’s northern coast, and might turn out to be another better-than-average day, with a bit of warmth added to the weather mix. We’re experiencing some delightful Indian Summer time up here with some of our best days recently — wouldn’t want to be anywhere else on the planet. And today,…
Another Monday morning — Saturday and Sunday already a blur — and here we are facing another work-week with crazy bullshit piling up on all sides, the society of life is reaching beyond the norm. Yesterday, President Obama received an awesome bear hug from a Republican pizza shop owner during a stop on a bus…
One regret I’ve had (among a whopper list) is that I’ve never been a homeowner, though, for many years I was eligible for a VA loan via the GI Bill. Nowadays owning a home can be disastrous. In 2008, there were more than 3 million home-foreclosure filings, up 81 percent from 2007 and 225 percent…
Another way-quick end to the workweek and this morning along California’s northern coast is about like yesterday, and the day before, and the day before — overcast and moist. Yesterday was fog-laded and chilly — the sun made brief appearances, but was crowded out by clouds. Forecasts for this part of the US via climate…
Overcast and a bit windy this morning up here along California’s northern coast, but who’s to know how the day will be — not I. Yesterday, the fog didn’t burn off until mid-afternoon and the air carried a chill with not much warmth coming off the sunshine, unless one found a wind-break. Weather’s gettin’ weird.…
Another fog-laded early morning here on California’s northern coast, but if the last few days are any indication, the mists will burn off at the approach of daylight and a most-beautiful day will emerge, ending up to be what’s considered near-toasty in these parts, which is pretty-near chilly. Weather is relative — like a mother-in-law…
Fairly-thick fog this morning up here on California’s northern coast, and quiet, too — thickness cushions noise. My perspective, though, is isolated as there’s plenty of pandemonium and nasty sounds beyond this spit of land curdled next to the Pacific Ocean — it’s going to be shitty-loud all the way from here to November. Fear…
Clear as a bell this morning on California’s northern coast, a bright moon lighting the western sky and the air so clean I can hear the sound of the Pacific washing ashore a couple miles away. Labor Day reportedly this is, but there’s not much labor going on. And the Newt is happy: I think…
End of the work week, and end to the this cycle’s version of the RNC — time for the crazy to go whack-o. Due to the storm created in my aging stomach lining, I didn’t actually see any of the RNC on TV — viewed clips of the shitty parts online — and from all…
Quiet and overcast this way-early Thursday here on California’s north coast, a dramatic contrast to wet, terrifying Hurricane Isaac as it storm surged landward off the Gulf of Mexico, creating tornado-offshoots in its wake. New Orleans has experienced nearly 25 inches of rain in less than 24 hours — dozens of people were dramatically rescued…
