War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Cloudy with a chilly air this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — the weather lately becoming like the old, monotonous standard, ‘shampoo, rinse, repeat.’ The days becoming really similar — gray and gloomy in the morning, bright and cheerful in the afternoon. Not a complaint whatsoever. We’ve one of the continual most-pleasant weather situations…
Overcast-gray and chilly this early Friday on California’s north coast, but the standard continues as sunshine is slated for later today, and warmth. Yesterday, however, it was well into the afternoon before fog/clouds abated and the sun shone — a hard push-back from the shoreline weather cycle. If Donald Trump is elected in November, we’re…
Bright sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — a glare after a gray-cloudy earlier start to the day. Warming-up this week as our interior should near triple-digits, but still cool and breezy for us at the shoreline — the days go on. Despite the ugly politics and mass murder, which dominates our news…
Sunshine with a bit of cloud cover this Monday morning on California’s north coast, allowing a clear, bright-light every so often, a change from the recent gloomy, overcast of the last few days. The NWS did warn about fire hazards in the area, retrieving the old adage: ‘Avoid throwing out cigarette butts out the window while…
Fog-bound again this early Friday on California’s north coast — temporary if the recent past reflects the current future. Most-likely sunny and breezy in a coupe of hours. Climate-wise the past is killing the future (via Scientific American): ‘Climate change has claimed its first confirmed mammal extinction. The tiny Bramble Cay melomys (also known as…
Drizzly-fog and gray skies this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and our weather continues its predictable unpredictability — yesterday, no sunshine until way-late in the afternoon. Most-likely today will be the same… Despite our air-wetness up here, last week’s Drought Monitor reported all of California still covered in some-type dry, and getting so bad California…
Bright sunshine and near-clear skies this early Thursday on California’s north coast, reversing trends of early-morning gray. Beyond US politics, after a recent binge-watch of all four ‘Jurrasic Park‘ movies, I realized nuclear power plants should also carry that same ‘Park‘ warning — All’s cool, “Until something goes wrong…” Case in point, Japan’s Fukushima Diiachi…
Bright sunshine for a change this Friday morning on California’s north coast, and supposedly we’re in for some ‘good-as-it-gets’ weather for the next few days, minus, of course, the shoreline fog-bank, and those gusty and chilled ocean breezes. Yesterday, orange-tinged “shit stain” blubbered-out great anxiety for humankind (the Guardian): ‘Donald Trump pledged to cancel the Paris…
Last week brought a cluster of environmental news, and this popped yesterday, and doesn’t bode well in the culminating future. From the UK’s Independent: Levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere “exploded” last year to reach a new record high not seen for thousands of years, scientists have announced. The last time there was such a…
Five years later and the bad-beat goes on — via Newsweek yesterday: ‘The robots sent in to find highly radioactive fuel at Fukushima’s nuclear reactors have “died”…authorities still don’t how to dispose of highly radioactive water stored in an ever mounting number of tanks around the site.’ And ‘“…no specific clear solution”‘ nowhere in sight. (Illustration found…
