War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear, bright, and hot as shit already just past the noon hour Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re under an intense triple-digit-heat advisory for the next couple of days; then a ‘cooling‘ span over the weekend (temps ‘only‘ in the high 90s), followed with an abrupt return to 100-plus warmth for early next week.…
Heavy-weighed warmth despite a semi-overcast sky this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley with clear-yellow sunshine occasionally brightening the landscape, though, the tone is more muted than actually considered anywhere near hot. A gentle, soft breeze that’s been swirling around all day long has kept the edge off those temperatures. An edge reportedly to…
Today 50 years ago was also a Wednesday. In those days I was a senior at the University of Florida and was less than a month away from graduating. Although I had the GI Bill for financial assistance, during the last two years of college I worked part-time at the Sears, Roebuck store there in…
Sunshine and heavy warmth this early-evening Friday here in California’s Central Valley — maybe even the first unofficial day of summer as temps climb into the 90s and officially (for me) the start of T-shirt weather. Meanwhile, beyond the political horror of the T-Rump and in the shadow of the wonderful courtroom performance of Stormy…
Crystal-clear, blue skies, and sharp, clean sunshine this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. And warm temps, too — highs in the mid-to-upper 70s with a cool, nice-feeling breeze. Of itself a gorgeous time. A day, however, most-likely an undercurrent preview for a hot, shitty summer to come. Yet right now enjoy while it’s…
Clear skies and bright sunshine this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — a preview for summer as temps kicked in at close to 80 degrees, though, a ‘cooling trend‘ is expected for tomorrow and Thursday. And proper, too, to celebrate the first day of Spring today — officially starts tonight at 11:06 PM…
Overcast with the threat of more rain this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re on the rim of a massive winter storm that crashed into the northern portion of the state last night. Despite the storm’s power lash, we will most likely just get a breeze-like effect instead of the power of…
Left-Coast weather continues to be the closest-biggest big news item of this weekend as a massive, wet storm continues unchecked: ‘“The heaviest main band of the rain looks to stall now over L.A. County,” meteorologist Ryan Kittell of the National Weather Service office for Los Angeles said at a briefing Sunday. “That’s a lot of…
Low, thick, gray clouds and cold air this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley – once again we’re awaiting another ‘atmospheric river‘ (AR) to come crashing onto us, bringing rain and more rain. Expected beginning maybe tomorrow evening through Monday morning, the incoming AR is reportedly way bigger than last Wednesday/Thursday’s episode. Although we…
Deeply-overcast and humid this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley as we await a wet, wild weather front coming our way — earlier today the fabled “pineapple express” surging out from warm Hawaiian waters dropped into/onto coastal areas and it’s only matter of time. Reportedly, the valley will be getting rain and wind off…
