War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Thinly-overcast with some faded sunshine this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast as we continue with some warmth, too. Not like yesterday, where we reached 80 degrees in my neighborhood about the noon hour, but still warm enough to have windows open to the air. All along the north coast temperature records were set on…
Sunshine through the clouds this early Thursday on California’s north coast, all tempered by a sharp, chilly wind. A small respite from the rain, with just ‘a chance’ the next few days. Nothing is guaranteed, though. Except maybe Iraq — supposedly the cradle of civilization is a nightmare (via USAToday): ‘Iraq said Tuesday it is…
Overcast and rain, then vice-versa, here this early Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, as the NWS continues the narrative: ‘An atmospheric river is currently pointed directly at Northwest California, and will result in widespread moderate to heavy rain through the first half of the day.’ Or maybe all day, or forever and a day —…
Dark-thirty this early Wednesday evening on California’s north coast as we saw sunshine in the morning, a deep, gray marine fog in the afternoon and gloomy clouds at sundown. In the presidential circus of a campaign this year, a big portion of the Republican brand is displaying a gross amount of smart anus. Hence, CNN asked…
Just when you figured the freaked-out plate was full, from global warming to ISIS to Trump/Palin, now comes the cash-flow event — from NASDAQ this afternoon: ‘The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 376 points, or 2.4 percent, to 15640, after earlier dropping as much as 565 points.’ Rapidly-tanking oil prices are sucking everybody down the drain-hole…
America’s longest war continues seemingly unabated — in southern Afghanistan, a “harrowing” situation: “On the map there is one green dot representing friendly forces stuck in the compound, and around it is a sea of red [representing hostile forces],” the official told Fox News. One American dead already… (Illustration found here). Apparently, the drama is even-more…
Clear and cold this Friday morning along California’s north coast, after a night of heavy rain, a bit of hammering hail, and a faded-yellow sunrise, looks like a nice weather-day ahead — shivery as shit, though. On this peculiar holiday, another sad, hypocritical example of human idiocy — via NPR: ‘Parents of children with severe…
Overcast-darkly awaiting rain this early Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast, as the ‘conveyor belt’ storms continue According to the NWS 48-hour rainfall totals note this morning, we received nearly two-and-a-half inches of the wet stuff in just a couple of days — a goodly drench. And a goodly-long war without results continues, too. Another…
‘Heavy rain‘ forecast for this early Friday on California’s north coast, and indeed, all morning on-and-off deluges –accordingly, we’ve already nearly two-inches in rainfall so far off this system. Nice to pluck weather information from the InterWebs — however, this week a shitload of local people, including some government agencies of Humboldt County, lost Internet…
Rainy, windy and chilly this early Thursday on California’s north coast, as our ‘conveyor-belt’ storm-style continues seemingly unabated. And circulating in that warm, surging, El Niño-influenced Pacific Ocean — along with our weather elements — are radioactive shit still coming toward us off the Fukushima disaster. Now coming upon five years later… Early on March 11,…
