War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A marine-layer burn-off this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, and already sunshine is melting through the fog, leading maybe to temperatures today in the low 70s even here along the shoreline. The interior remains hot as a firecracker — triple-digit numbers can be found not so far inland. Of course, the big news right…
Eight years ago, today was a Friday — June 22, 2007. Along life’s timeline, a lot of dates accumulate on your own personal calendar — birthdays, weddings, deaths, a shitload of less-important things — and some that are just weird. A few maybe in the creepy category, too, usually dealing with an ex-wife, or the…
Faded, washed-out sunshine this afternoon on California’s north coast as clouds/fog keeps the bright, and the temperature, down to a low level. A chilly breeze compliments the ambiance — not unpleasant outside, though. In the last 19 years, 23 US states and the District of Columbia have approved the medicinal use of cannabis, while Washington,…
Thick-gray clouds on an early Thursday, hanging-low along California’s north coast — might be more fog than cloud, sometime hard to reckon, but whatever, supposedly should be clearing fairly-quickly this morning. The NWS forecasts dry weather through middle of next week, but for today, a rare use of the word, ‘Breezy,’ with a small logo…
Overcast with a touch of ground fog this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we’re expecting more sunshine today despite a forecast for a possible, slight-touch of drizzle. Weather along a shoreline is always abnormal, so whatever is outside is what’s happening — doesn’t make any sense, but not making sense is part-n-parcel of…
Drizzling this afternoon on California’s north coast — a steady, chilled damp in the air, a slip maybe above fog. As a retiree, and a baby boomer, I’m witnessing our long dumb-ass tale approaching an ironic, befuddled end, or something — we’re living longer in deteriorating health with less medical insurance, and we’re not handling…
In just more than week, it will be eight years since moving to Humboldt County from down on California’s Central Coast — what a trip a couple of days make. As a recent retiree, I’ve discovered this place ain’t bad — and apparently while working it ain’t bad, either. This morning I browsed the US…
Rain before sunrise this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, but gone now two/three hours later — overcast still, but supposedly no more wet stuff until later in the week. Apparently, the downpour just dampened sidewalks. In the grip of an ugly drought, a new poll reveals although California folks understand how serious the nature…
Bright and windy this afternoon on California’s north coast, sunshine filtered by some high, thin clouds — nice and comfy with a wind break, otherwise, a sharp, chilled breeze will briskly-batter the brains. Based upon the supposition, of course, you have brains, and if you don’t… who’s got sense enough to tell? Even with just…
Overcast still going on into the late afternoon here on California’s north coast, with some added patchy ground fog, only sunshine so far a hazy, faded-yellow glare shifting the gray every so often — a damp, shoreline chill, too, added to the mix. One item I haven’t been keeping up with in the last weeks…
