War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Until just recently, marijuana had been considered outside the bubble of reality, playing on the edges of society, despite pot’s huge following, and maybe next year it will be actually legal. A longtime-a-coming last Friday, Gov. Jerry Brown okayed rules for all aspects of the weed industry, from the growing, to the shitload of by-products,…
Overcast right now this Monday morning as the culprit-fog burns off after moisturizing the landscape. The NWS claims today is supposed to be ‘mostly sunny,’ but currently the environment is damp and gloomy. Not so for down south (via the LA Times): ‘Temperatures Sunday reached 100 degrees in downtown Los Angeles, San Fernando and Burbank,…
Overcast and quiet this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast. Although the NWS calls the weather ‘partly cloudy,’ there’s a great-deal of good-old-fashion Pacific fog drifting around in there, too. Rain prospects for this weekend are starting to look dinky. Not so diminutive, however, is the shift on marijuana. In just a few, short years…
Overcast skies highly-influenced by a persistent marine layer this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — a hint of sunshine every-once-in-awhile, but mostly just a gray landscape. Internal perkiness, though, is easily swallowed as today is supposedly National Coffee Day, albeit I celebrate it on all days ending in ‘y.’ Add to the caffeinated observance…
Thick, misty-fog this morning, but now well into Tuesday afternoon, faded sunshine is attempting to cut through the gloom, but seemingly having a hard time of it. Part-n-parcel this time of year for the shoreline, yet still sucks. An old guy now retired and surviving upon Social Security (formal name: Old Age Survivors Disability Insurance),…
UPDATE this morning Last night, California legislators in Sacramento did actually pass what’s now been dubbed the, “Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act” — from our local Times-Standard, and North Coast state Sen. Mike McGuire: ‘“This was a heavy lift by all involved, but the top priority for the Senate and the Assembly and the…
Foggy and a bit on the chilly side this Monday morning on California’s north coast — most-likely all will burn off later with sunshine and ocean breezes set for the afternoon. And today, of course, is Labor Day — if you didn’t know that, you are in need of some help — and supposedly a…
Sunshine and a sharp ocean breeze this Saturday afternoon on California’s north coast — whipping into the Labor Day weekend and the unofficial end of summer. A short-burst of a summer, too. Rapid and unpredictable, maybe the words, or in the interest of financial markets, ‘volatile,’ and hopefully these aren’t infamous last words: ‘“As China…
Fat clouds and some faded sunshine this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast — forecast, though, is for the next couple of weeks to be fairly-nice with the NWS predicting sunny, or ‘mostly‘ sunny days. Feels humid and a bit on the gloomy side right now. Seemingly, gloomy all over — via UPI on Monday:…
Gloomy-gray overcast this early Sunday on California’s north coast, and although I’m used to the days-long marine layer, this particular batch feels more miserable than usual — maybe after seemingly weeks-long bright sunshine-filled skies, this latest fog cycle has become achingly oppressive. Mix surreal smoke from burning giant, wooded-interior parts from all around where I’m…
