War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast and gray this Wednesday evening here on California’s north coast — nice dog run about mid-day at Little River Beach, even experienced a bit of sunshine, which later evaporated into the color ash. Once again, to the left, my favorite pug-side-mug-shot of the T-Rump, titled ‘Basic Shapes,‘ by caricaturist/illustrator Chong Jit Leong (found here),…

Clear and sunny Monday evening here on California’s north coast — another gorgeous day, though some coastal fog was encountered earlier this afternoon out on Manila’s beaches (the Ma-le’l Dunes) but it remained at the shoreline, Arcata and environs stayed bright, and a bit warm. And another…
(Illustration: M.C. Escher’s ‘Tower of Babel,’ found here). Sunshine chilled by crispy-breezes this late-afternoon Sunday on California’s north coast, fully a gorgeous day, even despite a run-in earlier with some weather — walking the dogs on North Beach, still covered in bright sunlight, a big-ugly mass of dark, condensed water vapor appeared lumbering right for…

Cloudy and damp this early-evening Saturday on California’s north coast, though, I could see the three-quartered moon out my bedroom window a little while ago, but probably not now. Showered on-and-off all today, with some heavy downpours mixed in for good measure. More rain forecast tonight and in…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Weeping Woman,’ found here). Near-about all sunshine and seemingly much warmer this Wednesday late-afternoon here on California’s north coast, and once again the Ma-le’l Dunes were a wonder — sort of like walking on the moon, but not at all. The State of the Union last night by the T-Rump was dark…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Agonizing Horse,’ found here). A gray-white overcast and chilled sky this late Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast, the dark approaches. Fairly-deep fog this morning when I walked the dogs (or the dogs walked me) out on the Ma-le’l Dunes, the southern unit, and it was more-than-nice; the dogs loved it —…
Low-clouds and light, misty rain this late-afternoon Tuesday on California’s north coast — a fairly-decent storm forecast for later tonight, and continuing through tomorrow. Good news off the wet is supposedly starting Thursday, a start to more-than-a-week’s-worth of dry, sunshine-filled days. A scenario long overdue… Also long overdue is some kind of fairly-decent investigation into…
Overcast-gray with some layered ground fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — sprinkles/drizzle forecast for sometime this morning. In context of the coming new year, and a newly-minted/old word I’d never heard of until intrigued by a post a couple of weeks ago at Digby — the word, Kakistocracy, ‘…a term meaning a…
Overcast and cold this early Friday on California’s north coast, and supposedly maybe some sunshine later, with no rain forecast until Sunday. As T-Rump bumbles into control, Americans at least for the moment are in decent economic times. The Labor Department released some good numbers this morning — 178,000 new jobs in in November, and unemployment…
Sunshine’s glare this early Thursday on California’s north coast, and apparently we’re in for some nice weather for the next few days. As horrifying, massive Hurricane Matthew aims for Florida, climate change keeps blistering the world — in our neck of the woods, our biggest industry is not helping the environment recover. From TakePart yesterday: It…
