War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
High wispy clouds and a full moon wide-eyed this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — and quiet, too. Maybe heat brings on noise discreetly, blocking sound from human ears — we’re forecast for 80-plus degrees today, the peak in a “heat wave” currently hanging over the West Coast. A bit further south, record temperatures…
Bright and clear, a bit on the chilly side, but still a most-suitable Sunday morning here on California’s north coast. And a high pressure hanging out over the Pacific will supposedly keep us in ‘most-suitable’ conditions through Wednesday — yet who knows? Not when involved in a tale told the wife of Reginald Hargreaves. Yesterday,…
Rain and a gusty wind here on California’s north coast this Sunday morning — “unsettled weather” in that generalized-meteorologist kind of way — which is fairly-normal for certain seaside places. Wet, stormy-like conditions all over the West the next few days, especially up Seattle way. Meanwhile, far to the east and last night, was the…
Up until just about an hour ago, I was feeling good — the weekend with the sun shining and the air up here on California’s northern coastline warm and fuzzy. Until Greg Mitchell at The Nation reminded me that yesterday was the 11th anniversary of George Jr.’s horrifying stunt of “Mission Accomplished” jet landing on the…
Stars twinkling in a clear sky this early Thursday on California’s north coast with an unusually-strong breeze, too. A warm-like wind I might add. Although we’re not supposed to keep our high temperatures — we topped 85 degrees yesterday, a virtual heat wave for us — the weather is forecast to be pretty and calm…
Clear and nice this early Monday on California’s north coast — the start of a new work week without much fanfare. There’s a lot to hate about Mondays, but the best hatred should be way-directed to just how short the weekend. The last two days were absolutely no exception. Too fast for comprehension — this…
Quiet with a deep, and low overcast this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — a situation which blocked us from the famous “blood moon” episode, seen just about everywhere else this morning. The total lunar eclipse supposedly painted the moon a coppery red, and everybody rejoiced — so says a Tweeter from Missouri: “It’s…
Ground fog and warm air — nice early Thursday here on California’s north coast as we hustle our way toward the weekend — just a few more hours and it’s Friday! One item I’d seen earlier this week, but appeared to vanish from media sight was a big indicator of how our envirnoment is suffering,…
Thick ground fog and a deep quiet this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, normal for this time of year, and pretty-much the look of the place all the time. Gray mist, then sunshine about noon, or so. Is America going to shit in a wire basket? George Jr. once blubbered, “We don’t torture.” Yet…
Low overcast and ground fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and a bit on the warm side, too. Another typical Humboldt County weather situation — fog with splashes of sunshine. Beyond the continuing news cycle of about the same thing — still searching the pings in the Indian Ocean; Russia warns of more…
