War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
High overcast and some low ground fog this way-early Friday up here on California’s north coast, and the air is fairly warm for the time. The weather has been about the same the last few days, although the sun did break through the cover late yesterday afternoon, the climate has been back to near-normal after…
Overcast and warm this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — we had some rain yesterday and last night, but not enough to really feel the wet. Although the banging was pretty strong when I dozed off to sleep, this morning there was just fog and some dripping heard pinging around the back patio. We…
Clear skies with a fingernail moon hanging in the dark, quiet with just a hint of the rumble in the Pacific Ocean a couple of miles away — up here on California’s north coast we’ve been experiencing some most-delightful weather the last few days. A high of 70 degrees is forecast for today, and the…
Clear and kind of warm this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, the near-half moon hanging like a bright closet-orb seen from far away. Day-to-day life viewed from the stars. In a world gone bat-shit crazy, focal points are seemingly on everything except the way-most important — the earth that moon is still-shining happily down…
Another Saturday, another week gone-on-down the road. These past days, though, have been one for the so-called books; a near-literary, five part mini series starting Monday and ending yesterday, tied together by one crazy, weirdly-related, mirror-narrative of a most-violent future. A time-yet-to-be seen viewed in near-real time and from many angles — anyone with access…
Crystal clear this early Monday morning, stars twinkling and the air lucid even — far cry from when I dozed off last night as all along California’s north coast was turbulent weather. Power outages, fairly-heavy wind — a 75-foot fir tree was knocked down, blocking one road for awhile — and rain mingled reportedly into…
In an age where down is down and the stakes are way-up high, President Obama’s leaked budget proposal (officially due this Wednesday) does cough up some change, but not really something the poors can live on: By comparison, Social Security is about 70 percent of the income of a typical retiree. Since President Obama’s proposal…
Raining again this way-early Friday morning on California’s north coast, and warm, too. We need the rain, and the heat takes the bite out of getting quickly soaked. Water and warmth, which together create a way-rainy future, as reported yesterday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA): The study also showed a 20-30 percent…
Raining this particular Sunday morning and warm — the last few days have been exceptional, temperatures most-amiable and it might be that summer’s coming quicker than expected. Up here on California’s north coast, however, weather is of the moment, and we have days in January like days in July, which makes any kind of long-range…
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…
