War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, with threat of rain showing itself. Cold tonight, too, for a week of wet ahead. Ahead also is life in the ‘post-truth‘ era of American life — reverberating the concept, Margaret Sullivan at the Washington Post on Sunday invoked the fear: ‘It’s time to dust off your old…
Overcast and cold this early Friday on California’s north coast, and supposedly maybe some sunshine later, with no rain forecast until Sunday. As T-Rump bumbles into control, Americans at least for the moment are in decent economic times. The Labor Department released some good numbers this morning — 178,000 new jobs in in November, and unemployment…
Sharp, clean sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, way-chilly, though. As a former newspaper writer-person, reporting on T-Rump and his off-vibrates has got to be weird as shit — for the first-time ever in public discourse, lying is the new reality. Journalism has a challenge — CNN‘s Christiane Amanpour nailed the bottom-line in…
Steady rainfall pushed by a chilled wind this bleak, not yet black Friday on California’s north coast — a drenching through the weekend. As smoke clears off the turkey, one local issue of concern in the continuing T-Rump travails is the question on the status of marijuana. Mark Kleiman, who served as Washington state’s top…
Halloween in the late afternoon and raining — frightful times all around. An Op/Ed yesterday in the LA Times by Leo Braudy, professor of English and American literature at USC, focused on the ‘monster‘ aspects of this crazed election cycle — key note: The monster strategy, with its shorthand depictions of dread and terror, has a…
Sharp-bright sunshine this early Thursday on California’s north coast, tripping on some nifty weather once again — enjoy, rain coming supposedly this weekend. Top-the-news-cycle this morning, of course, is the debate last night between T-Rump and Hillary Clinton — another surreal experience appearing as scenes from a shitty art-house movie Major takeaway came from Clinton,…
Dark overcast this early Friday on California’s north coast as we continue through a series of rainstorms, leaving a blanket of damp on everything, though, no downpour right now. More rain expected later today, however, as the season continues… Unabated also is T-Rump and the horror of the loser. Interesting tidbit yesterday, from Bloomberg: ‘Republican…
Foggy-overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, a preview devoid of color for the next week or so. According to the NWS, two big storms a-coming — the first tonight and Thursday, the second on Saturday — and weather a-shifting… Seemingly, not on a slide with reality — this from the Washington Post this…
Scattered sunshine this early Monday on California’s north coast, with semi-clear skies, chilly temperatures, and changing weather. Supposedly, our first big rain coming late Wednesday and Thursday, ‘heavy at times,’ and subsequent storms keeping us wet until the middle of next week. We could get maybe two-plus-inches of rain off the first one, indicating a…
Deep-wet gray again this early Thursday on California’s north coast as fog regains the top notch along the shoreline — maybe a bit of sunshine later, but not right now. Although the NWS forecasts ‘Mostly Sunny‘ for today, it’s a real wait-n-see situation. Some more cannabis ain’t-bad news — a new study indicates 10 million more…
