War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
No-more-excuses point, in a kind of watershed moment this morning — via the Guardian: Catastrophic climate change can be averted without sacrificing living standards, according to a landmark UN report published on Sunday. It concludes the transformation required to a world of clean energy and the ditching of dirty fossil fuels is eminently affordable. My…
Thick ground fog and a deep quiet this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, normal for this time of year, and pretty-much the look of the place all the time. Gray mist, then sunshine about noon, or so. Is America going to shit in a wire basket? George Jr. once blubbered, “We don’t torture.” Yet…
Low overcast and ground fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and a bit on the warm side, too. Another typical Humboldt County weather situation — fog with splashes of sunshine. Beyond the continuing news cycle of about the same thing — still searching the pings in the Indian Ocean; Russia warns of more…
In the pre-dawn hours this last Sunday in March, and the quiet north coast of California is under-overcast skies with more rain forecast for maybe tonight or early tomorrow. Up earlier than usual for a weekend — couldn’t get back to sleep after a nocturnal awakening — and since no amount of thrashing about in…
“Ever read any Poe?” “No, but I loved her last album.” — “Panic Room” Raining and warm this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — we’re forecast for wet weather for the next week-to-10-days, so I might as well get used to it. A horror I talked about yesterday morning — a possible cracked head…
High overcast and calm this early Friday on California’s north coast — the sky placid and easy. Weather around here the last few days has been incredible with tons of sunshine and warm breezes, spring has forecast its arrival — maybe. Meanwhile, back east in the DC shithole of government, a crisis is brewing on…
Clear and windy this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — all seems quiet. Appearances, though — the ground is settled here, but a 5.1 earthquake was reported yesterday afternoon off the Oregon coast, about 250 miles from Coos Bay, and way out in the Pacific from my vantage point. Still, the shaker is near…
Overcast with a chilly breeze this early Friday on California’s north coast — the best couple of words almost-ever: It’s Friday! Yesterday was like summer around here — bright afternoon sunshine and warm temperatures. The country as a whole, however, is frigid in political spirit — one screaming-dysfunctional place. And the news media is whacked,…
Overcast and warm this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we prepare for a couple of major rainstorms about to sock us here on the west coast. Although most of the real-heavy wet is expected to strike in the southern part of the state, the northern coast is still expected to get about an…
Drizzling rain and chilly this early Tuesday on California’s north coast with extra precipitation forecast for the rest of the day. Tomorrow and the rest of the week is expected to be rain-free, and maybe a bit warmer than the last couple of days. Are weather warnings/forecasts just another form of ‘“too cute by half“‘…
