War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Windy, sunshine-filled late afternoon Tuesday here on California’s North Coast — good weather off good climate. Speaking of which, this exchange during a Humboldt County Board of Supervisors meeting last February on a just-released North Coast climate assessment: Third District Supervisor Mike Wilson suggested that Humboldt County could be where “climate refugees” seek refuge. “We…
Life of the T-Rump’s action — via The Salt Lake Tribune this morning: Rep. Chris Stewart’s town hall meeting Wednesday evening quickly turned wild when — after three recent mass shootings — the first question asked how the government can better keep people safe amid such threats. Soon, the event devolved into a shouting match…
An old word badly needed for the nowadays, one I’d never heard before today, “hatriot” — this from two years ago, which went unnoticed by just about everybody: As explained at the Guardian this afternoon by Samuel G Freedman, author of eight books, a former New York Times columnist and currently a journalism professor at…
Overcast-gray this Tuesday evening on California’s north coast, with no sun appearance at all today — also a dog run to Little River State Beach this morning was the same, except for a chilled ocean breeze. Showers maybe on Saturday, and supposedly remain ash-like all week. Best illustration I’d seen yet on mass shootings, America…
Sunny with a slight breeze this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, and warm, too. (Illustration: M.C Escher’s ‘Scholastica (Full Moon),’ found here). As the T-Rump continues to spiral into dangerous madness on a daily basis, there comes the question whether the piece-of-shit is the worse president, ever, or not — in the 2017 C-Span…
Today’s one nasty-ass moment, and the irony — the T-Rump’s infested shape, and image of the nowadays: Also another moment at the same event — via The Hill: A Muslim Virginia state legislator on Tuesday interrupted President Trump and shouted “you can’t send us back” as the president delivered remarks at an event in Jamestown,…
Sunny and nice this Thursday evening here in California’s north coast — summer’s near-about two-thirds gone. A bit under-the-weather the past few days with a head cold of sorts, a condition which probably started late last week, but came to fruition over the weekend and made my life decently-miserable since Monday. I feel much better…
Another appealing early-evening here on California’s north coast, and a Friday to boot — sunshine just about all day with just some foggy/low clouds in the morning, but way-comfortable. Tomorrow will be the 50th anniversary of the first US landing on the moon, and a first for humanity, too. Even as an old guy, it…
Again sunshine and wind this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast, and despite the breeze, fairly warm. Weather uniformity, especially in our summer season of daily-days of first-fog-then-sun and wind momentum makes for a nice stretch of outdoors time. Dog walk earlier at Little River Beach was toasty, and successful. We’re in a crisis clusterfuck,…
Sunshine and wind-blown late-afternoon Tuesday on California’s north coast. Another gorgeous day with the obligatory fog this morning — a dog run to Little River State Beach was also foggy, but way-enjoyable. (Discovered no dogs allowed at Little River, a never-before-noticed sign right at the entrance is way-obvious now, most-likely to continue, though). Right now…
