War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast and dark this way-too-early Tuesday on California’s north coast — supposedly, we’re to get sunshine today, but who’s yet to know? A goodly rain due by late Friday, and hopefully some decent weather between now and then. In some parts of California, ‘decent’ weather is considered not-so-hot — runners in yesterday’s LA Marathon sweltered in…
Bright with a stiff chilly wind this afternoon on California’s north coast — another day in the retired life. The ongoing science-reality, horror-saga of Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant continues, now approaching the fourth anniversary of its infamous earthquake/tsunami meltdown. And the situation still sucks, bad. (Illustration found here). Via Newsweek this afternoon: The operator…
Bright afternoon sun with a chilled wind here on California’s north coast — nice if you’ve got some type break from that sharp, Alaska-tinted breeze. Tax season in the wind, too, as we’re almost into March. Working stiffs (or retired working stiffs) are catching the blunt of the taxman-cometh-jigsaw-game of gilded bullshit. And Americans are…
Dark-gray with sometimes heavy rain this afternoon on California’s north coast — into the great wetness. An item I spotted earlier of a mega-rare, anywhere-near humorous story coming out of the nightmare war zone of the Middle East was this at International Business Times from Tuesday: An Egyptian man has reportedly delivered a financial blow to…
Overcast and chilly this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — supposedly a break today from continuous rain the last few days, and tonight, maybe tomorrow, a big river-express storm should precipitate perpetually for a good while. Seemingly, planet earth has gone topsy-turvy with violence, even beyond a cruel norm — yesterday there were two fatal…
Drizzling rain this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — we’re supposed to catch a short break this afternoon and tomorrow before another river of rain is expected by Thursday and on through the weekend. Meanwhile, Boston had the heaviest one-week snowfall in its history, more than 40 inches — average for a whole winter, 47…
Cloudy and a bit on the chilled side this early Thursday on California’s north coast — supposedly another ‘partly cloudy/sunny’ day expected. Responding yesterday to marijuana not being ‘more dangerous than alcohol,’ President Obama’s AG nominee Loretta Lynch nit-twitted: ‘“Well, senator, I certainly don’t hold that view, and don’t agree with that view of marijuana…
Just as it was announced the US will deploy this week an additional 1,000 soldiers to Iraq, a couple of episodes from the Canadians, also in country to ‘only‘ train the national army, on how shit changes color — they’ve been in firefights already. From Canada’s The Star this morning: ‘Forget said the incidents mark an evolution…
Bright with extreme-sunshine this early Friday along California’s north coast. Some high, wispy clouds, but otherwise clear-as-a-blue-bottom-bell. We’re in what we’d all consider as a ‘heat wave,’ temperatures this week have progressively gotten warmer, mid-to-high 60s today, maybe up into the mid-70s by Sunday. Supposedly then, another week of similar weather, not quite as warm,…
A clear and cold early Monday here on California’s north coast, a few wispy clouds scattered about a whitening sky, otherwise, appears plenty of shine a-coming. Supposedly, rain free until at least next week. In the gritty news cycle this morning, amongst war, politics and the Super Bowl match-up, one stand-out is indeed a pisser,…
