War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Amongst the storied, see-saw career of John McCain, his way-most-likely worst moment was hoisting Sarah Palin upon America. In the last nearly-eight years, Palin could be considered the source-epitome of bat-shit crazy in modern life, especially oratory aimed at rational thought. Last weekend, she tried to tap herself into the future presidency of The Donald,…
A deep-wet gray Wednesday morning here on California’s north coast as a semi-normal weather pattern has returned, though, a bit warmer than usual. The NWS calls it ‘dense fog,’ and that pretty-much nails it, as outside earlier was the ‘densest‘ I’ve seen so far this year, at least around where my little homestead (apartment) is…
Bright sunshine and warm air this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast — we’re supposedly in for a warm streak again this week with temps maybe up in the low-70s here at the coast, 20-degrees higher within interior valleys. All considered above normal heat for this time of year — worse down south just a…
Sunshine and a sharp ocean breeze this Saturday afternoon on California’s north coast — whipping into the Labor Day weekend and the unofficial end of summer. A short-burst of a summer, too. Rapid and unpredictable, maybe the words, or in the interest of financial markets, ‘volatile,’ and hopefully these aren’t infamous last words: ‘“As China…
Bright sunshine this early Friday on California’s north coast with like weather forecast for the next few days — no rain as yet in sight. Of course, no post yesterday — the big story around these parts was the AT&T ‘fiber’ episode. First, the asshole comm giant claimed Thursday’s big Internet/phone service breakdown came from…
Sunshine and windy this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — supposedly, a prospect of rain tonight, but as the NWS notes, a ‘Slight Chance‘ in the making. Reportedly, and thankfully, the various forest fires burning in northern California has decreased, with just a few of them still keeping fire fighters busy — a good…
Bright sunshine and a warm, gentle sea breeze this Monday morning on California’s north coast — supposedly up into the low-70s today, and appears so for the rest of the week. Way-beyond our so-called “supermoon” last night — dazzlingly-clear and seemingly transparent-looking from my vantage point, an original event: ‘This is the first recorded occurrence of…
Overcast again this Tuesday afternoon, though, clouds appear to be thinning out some, so maybe we could get some real sunshine before dark. And appears, too, we might get some rain on Friday, and hopefully on Saturday as well — the rain was originally forecast for Saturday, but as usual, the score has moved up…
Overcast and way-humid this Monday afternoon on California’s north coast with the fog really, really wet earlier this morning as if there was a drizzle going on — not! Just way-wet fog, and appears more of the same for the rest of today. maybe some sunshine later on, but it appears doubtful. Although the NWS…
Gloomy-gray overcast this early Sunday on California’s north coast, and although I’m used to the days-long marine layer, this particular batch feels more miserable than usual — maybe after seemingly weeks-long bright sunshine-filled skies, this latest fog cycle has become achingly oppressive. Mix surreal smoke from burning giant, wooded-interior parts from all around where I’m…
