War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Foggy again this way-too-early Thursday on California’s north coast as we grind on through the week. The weekend is beckoning. In the spirit of the nowadays, Holden Caulfield reminds us: “I’m the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life. It’s awful. If I’m on my way to the store to buy a magazine,…
Another overcast early morning this Thursday on California’s north coast, but as the case the last few weeks, sunshine will most-likely break the gloom by noon time. The weekend now only hours away. Beyond the cycle of the George Zimmerman fallout, there’s continuing saga of the average Joe on America’s streets, caught in the watchful…
Overcast again this Tuesday morning as if the season up here on California’s north coast, but again, too, a bit on the chilly side as we troll through the week watching the world crumble. In the context of being updated, last night one of the jurors in the latest infamous trial told CNN’s Anderson Cooper: “I…
Another Monday morning here on California’s north coast — as it is all over — and we begin a work week again. At least, the weather lately has been about near-perfect for this area of warm sunshine styled by a cool breeze. Time might be flying, but there’s still five work days ahead of toil…
Overcast and darkly-gloomy this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — a sense felt ’round the world. And with all the bad news exploding all around, from Egypt to everywhere, there’s this ludicrous note: A Gallup poll last month found that for the first time in his ex-presidency (actually, the first time since 2005), a…
Another high overcast morning on California’s north coast, but this being a Friday, there’s still joy in the air. As of late, the sun will eventually burn off the moisture and life will be happy again. Last night, I went to sleep with the sound of warfare outside my window — bottle rockets, cherry bombs…
Crystal-clear skies and a bit on the chilly side this fourth of July Thursday on California’s north coast — the sound of the Pacific Ocean a quiet moan from the west. Life continues whether we want it to or not. Despite other big shit happening — Egypt’s on another late-spring uprising, the Arizona wildfire that…
A bit of lingering fog this early Monday on California’s north coast with most-beautiful weather continuing on into a new work week. However, it’s pretty-much shitsville everywhere else. Nineteen firefighters were killed yesterday in Arizona — an entire ‘elite’ fire crew — and the western US as a whole has become no more than a furnace…
Fog mostly this Sunday on California’s north coast with a bit of sunshine on occasion, and bad heat just about everywhere else. And talk about a way-hot scandal — the NSA has become a rolling playbill of serious surveillance hijinks with a new episode near daily, complete with international outrage and screams of WTF! (Illustration…
Raining and kind of gloomy this morning on California’s north coast — the weather isn’t the only passing fancy that sucks. Reality and fiction are apparently one and the same nowadays. A shitload of people running this planet have major mental problems: Sociopathy is a personality disorder that manifests itself in such traits as dishonesty,…
