War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
High overcast this early Thursday morning, the odd-shaped moon hanging bright through passing clouds, its luster-orb seemingly out over the Pacific — feels warmer out than inside my apartment. Weather up here on California’s north coast has been incredible the last few days. There’s been some rain, but not enough to do anything, or even…
Once again another Monday morning and there’s absolutely nothing I can do about it. The shit starts anew — a work-week opus. Overcast and a bit warm here on California’s north coast, but still so far not a bad winter — not much rainfall either, which could mean a drought situation south of us this…
Wet and foggy this Saturday morning on Caliornia’s north coast. The thick mist makes for a quiet, almost-surreal silence. As if the world outside is at a standstill. Well, it ain’t. A scant few hours ago, President Obama signed the sequester order, thus, opening up a can of toxic worms, and this morning: “These cuts…
Tuesday morning cold and clear on California’s north coast with rain predicted for this afternoon and tomorrow, but this is 2013, not 1963 — we’re in the formative stages of the real tempest in a teapot. Weather’s going to be anything but normal. In the final days to Friday, and the crossing of the Rubicon,…
High overcast this early Monday morning on California’s north coast with no stars and a chilly wind. The last few days have been near-gorgeous, but we’re expecting a fairly-good size storm for Tuesday or Wednesday and sunshine might be gone awhile. Oil and water don’t mix, and so should it be with climate change as…
Cloudy with a chilly wind this Tuesday morning along California’s north coast with some good rainfall forecast for later today and tomorrow. Unfortunately, my next-door apartment neighbor left their back patio light on and I can’t hardly see the sky at all. One twinkling star can maybe be seen way to the west. Well, what…
Clear and a bit chilly this early Tuesday morning along California’s northern coast as 2013 continues to move at a fairly-rapid pace into a new year. History is right now. Just a side note on Aaron Swartz — he was facing decades in prison: It should be noted that Swartz faced such a stiff sentence because…
Clear and cold again this Monday morning along California’s northern coast — the weekend seems to be getting shorter! My first-ever ‘adult‘ job while a high school sophomore was for Avis-Rent-A-Car, which had facilities at a Pure Oil gas station in my Florida neighborhood — I later worked for station itself as a gas pumper…
Winds are howling just a bit this early Tuesday morning along California’s northern coast, though nothing like last week, the noise is still an ominous weather rattling. And rain is now heard tapping, tapping against the roof, trying to build to the onslaught of those previous storms, but forecasters prediction nothing like it — some…
Overcast and cool this way-early Monday morning on California’s northern coast, an apt start to another grind-employment week, and a tale-tell online crank-off to cyber business. Disavowing Black Friday’s horror, and since consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity, business folks are wow over Cyber Monday — even the day after…
