War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Humanity’s game: “It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you’re not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is…
Overcast and dark this way-too-early Tuesday on California’s north coast — supposedly, we’re to get sunshine today, but who’s yet to know? A goodly rain due by late Friday, and hopefully some decent weather between now and then. In some parts of California, ‘decent’ weather is considered not-so-hot — runners in yesterday’s LA Marathon sweltered in…
Rain-drizzle and gray this afternoon on California’s north coast, but a bright gleam was found this week for our environment — normally bad news, but at least for once, some good. Yesterday, via The Verge: ‘For the last 40 years, whenever the world economy grew, so did the Earth’s carbon dioxide levels — until 2014, The…
Damp, dense fog this Monday afternoon — seeming the last few days have been imbedded within a gray, gloomy blanket-like, life-portrait painted with faded light, mixed in cold air. Weather-wise, too, our home and hearth heating warmer. Last week, the NWS revealed this has been Humboldt County’s warmest winter in its recorded history. So likewise and…
Another morning here on California’s north coast — in this instance, a Friday. A hazy-white glow peaks light from the east, filtered by high, wispy clouds, and so far a weather-facsimile from yesterday. Warm the word just about all day Thursday, so maybe we’ll get some of the same today — all way-good. And further…
Clear and cold once again this early Thursday on California’s north coast — another day in the life. Supposed to be about the same through the weekend, though, apparently the rain expected has edged closer, forecast-wise, set now for maybe on Wednesday. And a rarity this morning, the NWS didn’t post any watches, warnings or…
Bright afternoon sun with a chilled wind here on California’s north coast — nice if you’ve got some type break from that sharp, Alaska-tinted breeze. Tax season in the wind, too, as we’re almost into March. Working stiffs (or retired working stiffs) are catching the blunt of the taxman-cometh-jigsaw-game of gilded bullshit. And Americans are…
Quiet in the pre-dawn dark this early Thursday on California’s north coast — ground fog keeps everything muffled in a moist, chilled blanket, and although we’re supposed to be sunny today, it took awhile yesterday for sunshine to cut through the gray. This close to the actual Pacific shoreline creates a weird bump sometimes in…
Overcast with a damp ground fog this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, the weather pattern down to a science. Preliminary rainfall totals for January are out from the NWS, and for my area, we were about 25 percent of normal — I thought we were dry as a bone, but seemingly not, maybe the…
Way-windy with some light rain this early Thursday on California’s north coast, a hazy hint of light building in the east — waiting for a supposed whopper of a rainstorm, maybe allowing for up to two inches of rain across the area. According to the NWS right now, the forecast every day through Saturday is…
