War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Rain and a chilled wind this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — supposedly, showers the rest of today. The UN reported Monday, 2016 will most-likely be the hottest year ever, third record as such in a row. Noted climate scientist Michael Mann of Penn State University (via the Guardian): “It is almost as if mother…
Hints at sunshine still eastward behind a broken-overcast sky this early Friday on California’s north coast — rain expected this afternoon, and through the weekend. Veterans Day, and an oddball Friday ‘federal holiday‘ in a country recovering from a most-likely fatal stroke. A few days before the election, the Guardian published a most-observant piece on…
Thick, wet marine layer blankets California’s north coast this early Thursday — supposedly, the fog will burn-off into a ‘Mostly Sunny‘ day. Hope springs eternal… Yet reality of T-Rump — slim-jim-shit-head Paul Ryan gleefully gushed about the future of our planet: Look, it’s not just the health care law that we can replace, because we…
Bright sunshine on California’s north coast, this horrid early Wednesday — the air is dark and vicious, though. Garrison Keillor nailed it this morning at the Washington Post: Mr. Trump was the cruelest candidate since George Wallace. How he won on fear and bile is for political pathologists to study. The country is already tired…
Sunshine this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and supposedly should be another awesome day, clear and dry — yesterday was near-spectacular, even warm late in the afternoon. Some rain, or drizzle probably, forecast for tonight/tomorrow morning, but no real big shit until Saturday. Last month, the region got historically drenched — numbers from Lost Coast…
Gorgeous Tuesday afternoon here on California’s north coast — bright sunshine and a mild breeze, though, on the slightly-chilled side. Supposedly, clear until tomorrow night when maybe some rain, but no strong, wet-weather system forecast until the weekend. Enjoy… One week from today however, just-about any enjoyment will vanish — a presidential election of historic…
Halloween in the late afternoon and raining — frightful times all around. An Op/Ed yesterday in the LA Times by Leo Braudy, professor of English and American literature at USC, focused on the ‘monster‘ aspects of this crazed election cycle — key note: The monster strategy, with its shorthand depictions of dread and terror, has a…
High overcast with occasional stretches of blue sky, but no sun yet. We’re supposed to be clear this afternoon… In living with natural weather, we’ve also had to ‘weather,’ as in ‘cope,’ with a terrifyingly-horrible presidential election cycle — all despite the reality. This morning, Commerce Department data showed a 2.9-percent annualized increase in GDP,…
Overcast, though no rain as of yet this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — howling, gusty winds earlier, but quiet right now. Update sort of on my post yesterday about T-Rump’s lying — CYA, as the asshole concocted a rant against truth Tuesday afternoon in Florida (via The Star): “These fact-checkers, they’ll check facts…
Overcast this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, as we await another round of rain forecast for this afternoon, and seemingly the wet stuff slated for near-about the next 10 days. Meanwhile, a new study shows lying becomes easier the more you lie. Glaring example — Donald Trump, at least in public for a week…
