War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Another Monday with clear skies this early morning along California’s northern coast, but that’s just a respite as storm systems keep on a-coming. Today is also special for another reason, but I can’t really figure that one out…let’s see…. Oh, yeah, this: The world’s largest supplier of firearms on Thursday said that it had experienced…
Wind is really howling this morning along California’s northern coast, but no rain yet as we’re forecast as 100 percent today. Right now the air feels dry, the noise level high. Meanwhile, the US Midwest is getting thrashed: People traveling early for Christmas in the center of the country will be dashing through the snow…
Rain pattering down here this morning on California’s northern coast with a forecast scheduling thunderstorms and cold winds — same as yesterday, but here at the edge of the Pacific, Monday turned out clear, sunny and kind of warm. The rain today is expected to be heavy at times, even with some hail thrown-in for…
Rain and fog this morning along California’s northern coast and we’re expected to get hammered by a cold front in a little while that will bring possible thunderstorms and a snow level down to about 1,500 feet. A dust of white on the mountains can be easily seen from the beach — winter’s here. Actually,…
Rainy, cold and miserable this early Sunday morning here on California’s northern coast, and way-beyond ugly sad. A certain flavor in the air, not chocolate at all, but the sweet aroma of cordite — yesterday afternoon at Fashion Island shopping mall in Newport Beach, just south of LA, this guy supposedly shot a pistol up…
(Illustration above found via BagNewsNotes. Artwork out front found here). Up this morning in a sad, but way-pissed mood. And like Jon Stewart’s faux news, reality and truth is way-better explained nowadays from such locations than anywhere else — a mournful, indignant situation: Americans reported feelings of overwhelming disgust with whatever abhorrent bastard did this…
When a wee-young lad, I was subject to the now-ludicrous “duck and cover drills” in school where all us students practiced what to do in case of a Soviet nuclear attack. The whole scenario was way-stupid: The huge destructive power of hundreds of H-bombs along with the growing knowledge of the dangers of radioactive fallout…
Crazy-ass world we now inhabit — although it’s wet and chilly this morning up here along California’s northern coast, the weather across the US is odd-ball at best. An indication is snow fall — last March, Chicago got some snow, but now have gone 281 straight day without the white stuff, while slightly to the…
Overcast with a drizzly fog this morning along California’s northern coast with rain expected some time later today. Winter here is wet, and can get cold, but considering other parts of the country, way-mild. And considering climate, the worse is yet to come — according to New Scientist, weather forecasts for the way-near-future are looking…
Using the old phrase most-easily this morning, ‘the sun came up like thunder,’ a clear and quick-explosion of light greeted the day here on California’s north coast — in the wake of last week’s way-wet storm surge, came also the first inklings of winter. Cold, clear and crisp, but without the rain. This area just…
