War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
An overcast, gray-damp Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, the shoreline fog just won’t go away — cool and moist here, but scorching-dry starting just a short distance inland. We’re forecast to be ‘much warmer‘ than yesterday, but that wouldn’t take much, while-on-the-meanwhile, the middle of northern part of the state is wildly-crazy — Chico…
A light-overcast through a thin marine layer this early Friday on California’s north coast — a bright-gray light to end the work-week. Appears as if yesterday: quick burn-off, a warm afternoon tempered by a cool breeze (maybe low-70s at the shoreline) — the interior, however, continues to fry fairly-well. In the forests and mountain valleys…
Eight years ago, today was a Friday — June 22, 2007. Along life’s timeline, a lot of dates accumulate on your own personal calendar — birthdays, weddings, deaths, a shitload of less-important things — and some that are just weird. A few maybe in the creepy category, too, usually dealing with an ex-wife, or the…
Clear, bright and windy this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast — the breeze a bit on the chilly side, seeping off the deep-gray fog bank hanging low about a block away from my apartment, looking like its ready to roll over us. Summer season here with its daily routine of fog, wind and sunshine,…
Light overcast this early Thursday on California’s north coast, maybe hinting of real sunshine quickly coming as heat burns off the fog allowing a brighter air — instead of the gloomy-gothic gray. In context of pessimism, Pope Francis was set for pontificating on climate change this morning, but tragically the encyclical event was overshadowed by…
Overcast with thick-gray clouds this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, supposedly another episode in a mundane weather routine — fog tainted with sunlight, rinse and repeat. However, I do so-prefer here than the three-digit temperatures found in the interior, away from these shoreline breezes. We’ll top in the mid-60s today most-likely. Seems little Eddie…
Clear-looking to the east this early Friday on California’s north coast, and a bright sun-up if the fog don’t get here first — chilly a bit now, though, supposedly we could see/feel 70-degrees today. Unlikely to happen, as this afternoon’s wind-chill factor will keep any soothing warmth out of the air. Although we’re a few…
Thinly-overcast with faded sunshine this afternoon on California’s north coast, already mid-week — time flies whether you’re having fun or not. Zilch for humor in this CNN/ORC Poll: ‘According to the poll, 52 percent of adults had a favorable impression of George W. Bush, 43 percent unfavorable.’ Either collective amnesia, or there’s a huge-shitload of…
Overcast with enough thin clouds for a occasional ray of sunshine to peek through this Memorial Day afternoon on California’s north coast — a chilly breeze, too. War is on the mind today — during his annual speech at Arlington National Cemetery, President Obama did acknowledge there’s a break in the action, and the first…
Blustery sunshine this Saturday afternoon on California’s north coast — the whip-like wind is a bit chilly, too, but the windows are staying open for awhile to let the cool ventilation aerate the apartment. I’m wearing a sweater now, so it won’t belong before my old bones get cold — just got to wait. In…
