War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Considered ‘partly cloudy,’ right now, though maybe in a few minutes the word, ‘partly,’ will be replaced by its opposite, ‘wholly,’ as heavy rain is forecast for this afternoon on this little stretch of California’s north coast — more ‘partly cloudy‘ due tomorrow, with rain rainfall supposedly lessening. In the scope of politics and climate…
Super-bright sunshine this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, or maybe the luminosity appears intense after the last few days of thick clouds and rain. We’re still forecast for rain showers today, and heavy downpour called for tomorrow and on into the weekend — and we’re also in a Coastal Flood Advisory, which indicate offshore…
Clear sunshine and chilly temperatures this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — beautiful weather for the year. Not so beautiful anywhere else, though. Tip-top news story story this morning comes from Ferguson, MO — grand jury returns without an indictment against Darren Wilson, the cop who shot and killed Michael Brown last August. And…
Sunshine Monday here on this little stretch of California’s northern coast — a cold-feeling wind does give bite to the flavor a bit, though. The word, ‘cold,’ is relative, of course. We’re at about 45 degrees right now, and near about the same time — Dr. Jeff Masters: ‘It’s weather whiplash in Buffalo, New York,…
Rain and more rain this early Thursday on California’s north coast, supposedly the same story at least until the end of next week — thick clouds and chilly air, normal weather for here. We’re forecast to get sunshine on Sunday, but that’s a maybe. One aspect of the local area I find disheartening is the…
Deep gray afternoon here on California’s north coast — rain, too, on and off, light to sometimes fairly heavy. Today, in a library a couple of miles from Sandy Hook Elementary School, a public hearing was held on a private nightmare. Nelba Marquez-Greene, a family therapist with trauma training, who lost a six-year-old daughter in…
Cloudy with occasional rain-showers this early Thursday on California’s north coast, a preview forecast for us the next few days. An additional ugly, slightly-nauseous mug in the news recently has belonged to George Jr., who’s been floating about the airwaves hawking a book and soft-clowning for the news media. In all those interviews, never once…
Bright sunshine and a seemingly-warm breeze this early Monday here on California’s north coast, a kind of opposite to the weather across the US upper mid-west, where temperatures are “…about 20 degrees below the average high…” and nabs the title, ‘Winter Storm Astro,’ first of the season. And a first, too, a Fukushima “fingerprint” is…
Sunshine, high, fluffy clouds and a cool breeze this Saturday afternoon on California’s north coast — we’re supposed to have comparable conditions the next couple of days, but weather’s still weather, especially this close to the shoreline. A chance of rain by Tuesday. Along with the gut-wrenching, flinging bad shit into a high-tempered fan last…
War-zone Saturday: “This district is what you’d probably call the southwestern United States. That was before it was destroyed by the war.” “War?” “Yes. According to history, over 100 years ago, a man named Albert Shanker got hold of a nuclear warhead.” — ‘Sleeper‘ Endless war, as perpetrated/proposed just this past week by the US…
