War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Heat on the edge of scorch again today in Califoria’s Central Valley with triple-digit temperatures accompanied by not a ziltch of wind — in my neck-of the Valley, it’s 100-degrees downtown, yet contrary to what I’d think, it’s two-degrees hotter here in the more-tree abundant suburbs, We;re usually hotter out here every day, baffler in…
Good Sunday morning, and another musical intermission from all the terrible, disquieting bullshit rambling about out in the world, especially in these here United States, instead give a listen to some really good, topnotch covers of some really good topnotch rock/near-about-rock sounds — last installment here — and today coming from a new place.

Set aside for a minute the Joe/Vlad face-to-face on the shores of peaceful Lake Geneva, or even the nauseous, toxix Repubican party here in the US, seeking to erase democracy, or the outbreak of vicious gun violence that’s sweeping this country — mass shootings are being normalized by their countinous occurrence — or maybe a…
After an elderly guy in Placer County died in March 2020, the first COVID-19 death in California, the state with the rest of the country went into near-shock mode with lockdowns/shutdowns/stay-at-home orders, etc. that would put a wedge into the normalacy of living.
