War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Thick-colorless, gloomy-rainy skies bathed in a downer-gray, ash-flavored ambiance this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. A few words right up front guaranteed to immediately bring you right down. However, young Neil begs to differ: One of my favorite go-to-sad-fun songs for now going on 50 years. Snarky-righteous Young jokes in his intro on…
In the course of current events, T-Rump really, really sucks. He has to be one of the worse — if not the actual worse — human beings who’s ever lived. One wonders at the low-form definition of what the T-Rump amplifies: The success of Donald Trump, an asshole who became president, created a fallacy: Americans…
Cloudy this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — a preview of winter. And a change of pace with some music to serenade the anxiety building to Tuesday as so much shit from democracy to the actual, physical environs of our living spaces is on the line in the election. Shitty to have to…
End of another weekend, and close to the end of a month, plus, close to the heat of summer — not so bad outside this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley, warmish, but breezy enough to be comfortable. Next week, though, a rolling-thunder heatwave is expected, maybe triple-digit temperatures by Tuesday/Wednesday. In rebellion against…
Unfortunately, the last three days I’ve been too slow to give a shit on just about anything — even doomscrolling the news is ho-hum with frightening mental spells — and I couldn’t get my desire up to scale to post shit on the ton of shit taking place all over the shit place. What happened…
Infested with too much political bullshit this Saturday early evening here in California’s Central Valley — a situation increasingly more frequent than not as we spin through bullshit tornadoes of red-hatted nit-twits and massive is the bullshit meter. And to ease the creation of a post about some thing or another, I’m going with the…
A supposedly special day despite reality — what will I find: I’m gonna let it shine I’m gonna let it shine Heaven’s little light gonna shine on me Hey, yeah, hey, yeah Heaven’s little light gonna shine on me (Shine) Shine on me, yeah (Shine) Come on and shine Keeping a shine going is Miss…
Muted-yellow sunshine this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — there’s a shine in the air, but a bit on the mellow side, like maybe influenced by some forest fire smoke. Although fires burning in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks about three hours southeast of my location are now reportedly 55-percent contained, there’s…
Just to escape the doomscrolling for a while and center a post this late-afternoon Sunday on a ‘shine‘ in music and in words, we try to visit a brightness from inside with all the darkness prevailing on the outside. What the fuck is that shit? One of my favorite songs of all time — and…
A daughter coming to visit today — we haven’t seen each other in nearly a year-and-a-half, a circumstance of the pratfall-paradox of a pandemic. In such, I’ll probably be offline for the immediate-near future, but I always try to contribute at least one post a day to keep Compatible Creatures in harmony wth history. Reconcilable…
