War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration found here). In the midst of mid-week and the crisis of life is far from ending — beyond America’s past, pastime being full of shit, especially if our First Lady scolds a heckler, or White House workers using ‘secret’ e-mail accounts, and Chrysler refuses to recall some Jeeps just because there’s a possibility of people…
Clear skies this way-too-early Tuesday on California’s north coast and we’re forecast for another ‘hot’ day (65 degrees) in a slightly modified heat wave. Weather is wherever you are. I’m a ‘baby boomer’ — those people born between 1946 and 1964 in that frantic post-WWII sexing frenzy, and they’re making the news this morning. One…
An email yesterday from my daughter in Minneapolis, in part: Yeah, the weather! I thought it was over and then it started snowing again. . . This has been the longest winter of my life! Yeah, the weather…just depends on where you be. Near mid-day Saturday on California’s north coast and the environment/weather up here…
One recent political, ricochet-rabbit-bombshell has been President Obama’s budget proposal — bits of it leaked two weeks ago, the whole shebang officially released last Wednesday — parts of which include cuts to Social Security through lowering life’s expectations. Obama wants people who are getting close to being old to just change how they live —…
A brand-new week and a brand-new month — and no foolish jokes this Monday morning as we all try to be more smart than sorry. High overcast here on California’s north coast, but that’s just the weather. Time is double-timing down the old calender and it’s really, really hard to believe it’s April already, and…
Clear and cold this Friday morning, but not as cold as it should be — this winter so far has been easy and mild up here along California’s north coast. Weather is like a successful restaurant — all depends on location, location, location. And just a short space away could be disaster. The upper US East Coast…
Cold and a bit overcast this Thursday morning on California’ north coast and so far for us on the Pacific beach this current system has spared the worse. Out east (hah!), a huge storm has hit the fabled US capital with a surge: The storm was dubbed a “snowquester,” a play off the wonky “sequester” term used…
(Illustration found here). Raining pretty good this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast and it’s supposed to keep it up the next few days. Despite the inconvenience, it’s not so bad and we need the water, especially to the south of us. And we’re not so bad — my youngest daughter lives in Minneapolis and…
Another Monday morning, and just no way around it — overcast and a bit chilly on California’s north coast with some real-winter weather due here this evening and tomorrow. We’re forecast for hail and even snow, but who’s to say — not like the US mid-section (again): Chicago could be buried by up to 10 inches…
Rainy, fog-bound, but warm this Thursday morning on California’s north coast as we trip lightly to the end of another month. And with the calender comes a shitload of stuff the average, walking-around American will have trouble trying to understand, despite all the shrill noise from DC and its environs. Understanding all the ugly might…
