War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A bit cooler than ‘normal‘ this late-morning Monday here in California’s Central Valley, though, we’re scheduled for triple-digit temperatures again today, it’s off the full-blown crazy of this past weekend. Supposedly, we’re on a downward slide from this particular ‘mega-heat-wave’ with temps set for the low 90s by Friday, but back up for Saturday and…
Prior to the mega-heat ahead, the overpowering news item this Sunday morning is Richard Branson-influenced mini-space flight with the look and feel of maybe the early Apollo events, or perhaps the first few shuttle flights (which apparentlyy got ho-hum after awhile) — a certain excitrment, but a big difference before was national, governemnt-funded projects, today…
Still comfortable outside this mid-morning Saturday here in Californnia’s Central Valley — heat-shit is expected in minutes as we’re forecast for a high of 111-degrees as summer continues unrelenting in its grip on life. Right now with the AC off, I’ve the front door open, back sliding-door open, creating a gentle, near-cool cross-brreze, which will…
Good afternoon. Warmer-than-warm this Friday — started this post originally for yesterday afternoon, but got sidesteped by an earthquake, nothing heavy. After the excitement, the settling-down and figuring-out what to do, I guickly banged out a post about the experience, plus California and earthquakes, in near-real-time, thus, didn’t have the fortitude or drive to get…
A daughter coming to visit today — we haven’t seen each other in nearly a year-and-a-half, a circumstance of the pratfall-paradox of a pandemic. In such, I’ll probably be offline for the immediate-near future, but I always try to contribute at least one post a day to keep Compatible Creatures in harmony wth history. Reconcilable…
As the fever-fiery, ‘mega-heat wave‘ continues here in California’s Central Valley and across a large chunk of the western US, the Friday news dump turned out in actuality to be sort an extension of my post from yesterday morning — the boiling oscillation has made an impact on living. As you can see in my…
And finally, the boil has come home to roost — tweet below my NWS forecast for right-about now for where I live, California’s Central Valley, as the massive heat wave which just hours ago was located mostly in the US SW has shifted: We’re expecting triple-digit temperatures today and for a few days to come,…
Nice drop to a Friday semi-crazy news dump, and who would have guessed UFOs would receive sincere appraisal from government agencies, especially NASA, but we live in all-around strange times. From Wikipedia: ‘In ufology, a close encounter is an event in which a person witnesses an unidentified flying object.‘ Hence, here we are: Details per…
Among the wonderful tribute, space rocks heading our way: Beyond earth on Memorial Day, NASA also reported big space rocks have/are-going to hurdle pass our planet — three were scheduled for today — one the size of a bus (90,000 miles from earth), another about car size (about 110,00 miles close to earth), and the…
(Ilustration: Stages of total lunar eclipse in Universal Time (GMT), and found here). A lunar eclipse tomorrow morning to break the horror of political life down here on the flatlands of the mountains we have to cross every f*cking day. If you get up early — pre-dawn — here in California, you’ll be able to…
