War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Bright sunshine and a seemingly-warm breeze this early Monday here on California’s north coast, a kind of opposite to the weather across the US upper mid-west, where temperatures are “…about 20 degrees below the average high…” and nabs the title, ‘Winter Storm Astro,’ first of the season. And a first, too, a Fukushima “fingerprint” is…
A thick-drizzle and approaching dark-thirty here on California’s north coast — although we had a gracious fireball sunrise, shortly thereafter, a chunky overcast descended, and then mist, now onto a heavy drizzle. Although most-likely, maybe, the US (and the Democratic party) will get a grip on the upheaval that will be/ and is already resonating…
Cold and clear this early Thursday here on California’s north coast, a lightening-bright can be seen from my back patio, like a white bubble from the east. We’ve supposed to have a chance of rain, but right now not a cloud in the sky — last night was clear, too, and the moon appeared hugely-full,…
Way-bright sunshine this afternoon, and way-warm, too, at least here on this little spot of California’s north coast. Already the smut from a newly-up-chucked US Senate — from Fox News: ‘The Republican wave Tuesday could bring a gusher of oil down from Canada, as GOP gains in the Senate appeared to give backers of the…
Bright sunshine this afternoon, my little portion of California’s north coast clear and chilly. Hard words to handle: “Somewhere after the middle of this century human-caused emissions will have to come down to a net zero,” Achim Steiner, head of the U.N. Environment Programme, told Reuters. The statement a preparation for more grim news coming this…
Overcast and chilly here this early Friday on California’s north coast — on occasion, bright, quick rays of sunshine. Costume holiday — one of our more-weird, and disturbing festivities today, All Saints Eve, or Halloween. A bit from the US Library of Congress: ‘The old beliefs associated with Samhain never died out entirely. The powerful…
Overcast and cured with bit of a chilled breeze this early Thursday on California’s north coast — maybe rain, maybe not. We’re forecast for it the next couple of days, but it’s all blowing in the wind. Even in a whiff, it’s all crazy — CNN headline this morning, ‘Maine nurse in Ebola controversy bikes…
High fluffy clouds, bright sunshine this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast, and nearly no wind — gorgeous. Windows open, back sliding-glass door shoved open to its stop. Around here, weather shifts in a snap-second, as just a bit earlier we’d had heavy, dark clouds, and a drizzle. Odd, though, hardly no breeze at all.…
Bright and sunny with a bit of chilled wind, here this Monday afternoon on California’s north coast. Gorgeous now but more rain expected tomorrow. Late in the day for a first post, usually way-earlier I’d have at least one piece up about something-or-another, but got involved with other stuff, then discovered I had to replace…
Gorgeous Sunday afternoon here on California’s north coast — sunshine-warm with windows open. What drought? Ready on the mind for most Californians: ‘A new poll from the Public Policy Institute of California found that 62 percent of voters are following the drought very closely while only 18 percent are following the election very closely.’ Only three…
