War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Thick, heavy rainfall carried by gusty winds this Saturday afternoon here on California’s north coast as a fairly-strong ‘atmospheric river‘ pours across the shoreline. Started raining in earnest last night, and with only occasional short, dark spaces of dry, has been continuously hammering down all day. The NWS advises thunderstorms with small hail could accompany the…
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…
Overcast and chilly this early Sunday on California’s north coast — weather here all depends on the wind. Apparently, the weather of politics, too. In the tsunami off the Tuesday quake, I spied this poll survey in the LA Times yesterday, which revealed in the current wind direction/velocity, our two US senators, Barbara Boxer and…
A reddish tint in the eastern sky this Wednesday morning, maybe sailors and all Americans take warning — here on California’s north coast, most-likely overcast with late afternoon sunshine. Another day in the life… No so for the sad, dumb-ass US of A — apparently there’s a shitload of ignorant, clueless Americans out there, enough…
Raining and a bit windy this early Monday here on California’s north coast — good spitter-spatter last night and through this morning, totals could be half-an-inch, maybe. We’re forecast a wet stretch for at least a week. Seems the rainy season has gotten off to a slower start that last year — according to the…
Overcast and a bit of ground fog this way-too-early Friday on California’s north coast as we look the weekend square in the eyes — and Saturday blinked. The air’s somewhat cooler this morning, too, so maybe we’re catching some of that polar vortex shit. Meanwhile, out in the world, real shit is hitting the fan.…
Crying into a sleepless dark is usually part-n-parcel of episodic insomnia, at least for me, when about a hundred-trillion self-scurrilous thoughts, mostly-redundant, yet savagely fighting each other for dominance, finally finish their shitty work, and tears flow pitifully onto pillows. Sad shit, huh? Not all those wide-awake periods include crying — a lot of times,…
Overcast with a bit of drizzle this early Thursday on California’s north coast — and warmer than expected as yesterday afternoon and evening were pretty chilly adding to the wet air. We’re here now, though, that’s something. And something, too, was last night with no tsunami warnings from a 6.7 earthquake right off Canada’s Vancouver…
Clear and chilly this early Friday on California’s north coast — the skies are twinkling with stars and a fat-sliver of the moon hangs quietly out over the Pacific. We’re supposed to have sunshine and warm temperatures today in a typical spring outing for us up here. Shitty already this morning. We usually receive national…
Thick ground fog and a deep quiet this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, normal for this time of year, and pretty-much the look of the place all the time. Gray mist, then sunshine about noon, or so. Is America going to shit in a wire basket? George Jr. once blubbered, “We don’t torture.” Yet…
