War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast with a chilly breeze this early Friday on California’s north coast — the best couple of words almost-ever: It’s Friday! Yesterday was like summer around here — bright afternoon sunshine and warm temperatures. The country as a whole, however, is frigid in political spirit — one screaming-dysfunctional place. And the news media is whacked,…
Overcast, drizzly and warm this mid-week Wednesday, and here on California’s north coast we feeling like spring. Yesterday was pure sunshine and heat — March came in as a soft, sweet putty-cat. And today, earth will get another space visitor as Asteroid 2014 DX110 will make a real-close fly-by — about 216,000 miles away —…
Overcast and warm this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we prepare for a couple of major rainstorms about to sock us here on the west coast. Although most of the real-heavy wet is expected to strike in the southern part of the state, the northern coast is still expected to get about an…
(Illustration: Vincent van Gogh’s ‘The State Lottery‘ found here). In a deep-ugly vacuum, devoid of sense and sensibility, can anyone hear me scream, even using the most-vile, nasty and most-inappropriate words imaginable — can’t happen when absolutely no one is listening. In this really, really screwed nowadays, people have lost all regard for intelligence and…
Drizzling rain and chilly this early Tuesday on California’s north coast with extra precipitation forecast for the rest of the day. Tomorrow and the rest of the week is expected to be rain-free, and maybe a bit warmer than the last couple of days. Are weather warnings/forecasts just another form of ‘“too cute by half“‘…
Here we are again on another Monday and the start another work week — at least it’s clear with just a slight, chilled breeze here on California’s north coast. Rain has disappeared for a few hours. Yesterday was gorgeous, sunshine and warm — I even opened the windows to let the fresh sea air engulf…
Rainy and warm this early Thursday on California’s north coast, another segment on winter 2014. And the word, ‘warm,’ is a major factor here — at 4 in the freakin’ morning, it’s near 55 degrees, which is about the temperature of mid-day around these parts. Meanwhile, way to the east, the US Atlantic seaboard is…
High overcast, quiet and dry this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and the feel is not unpleasant. Soundless and near-weather-less here, but back in the US southeast, a possible “catastrophic event” via an enormous winter storm bearing down on the huddled masses — another episode of “global weirding” becoming more the ‘new normal’ in…
High overcast again this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and as the planet spins into oblivion the dark lingers. And sunshine won’t change matters. In light of the EPA’s okay last Friday of the Keystone XL pipeline, was this prior to the report’s release from Jack Gerard, CEO of the American Petroleum Institute: “It’s…
Raining this way, way-too early Monday here on California’s north coast, a touch of theme for the day. The moisture is just aggravating — another display of the dry-hole drought eating at the state’s life-support system and the teasing rainstorms that don’t do nothing. And since the “big game” is now history, so is the…
