War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Outside the normal news cycle this afternoon, a couple of interesting science/health items caught my eye earlier as I was close-to-normal-constantly Doomscrolling the InterWebs, seeing them created a curiosity as one could apply to me personally, the other to this country. And of course, I’m involved with both. Initially this bothered me because of my…
Starting to get warmer this mid-morning Tuesday here in Califoria’s Central Valley — we’re temp-wise forecast for triple-figures again by mid-afternoon, but the bad heat seems past us, for right now. Low-90s reportedly rest of the week and on into the weekend. Added distress for my elderly-eradicated brain today is the current news on that…
In our continuing struggle against the COVID-19 pandemic — after about a year-and-a-half — we appear in the right-now time-frame/plotline to be in a kind limbo-downer, falling short of a crucial breakpoint in obtaining sny kind of ‘herd immunity’ and maybe getting-back some small sense of ‘normal,’ whatever that is nowadays. Big obstacle is anti-vaxxers…
Here we are again, another Monday and with it another book detailing the horror of the T-Rump getting way-fucking flummoxed by the COVID-19 pandemic, brushing-aside warnings with narcissistic ignorance, allowing the virus to run rampant across the US, now having killed more than 600,000-plus Americans within a short, year-and-a-half — in irony of all slingshot,…
Today is a two-pronged special day — from The Old Farmer’s Almanac last week: ‘The June solstice occurs on Sunday, June 20, 2021, at 11:32 P.M. EDT. In 2021, it so happens that the solstice falls on the same day as Father’s Day!‘ Some science — via Space.com this morning: In addition, the summer solstice…
As the fever-fiery, ‘mega-heat wave‘ continues here in California’s Central Valley and across a large chunk of the western US, the Friday news dump turned out in actuality to be sort an extension of my post from yesterday morning — the boiling oscillation has made an impact on living. As you can see in my…
Earlier this morning I was in the process of working on a political post — maybe a Mike Lindell/T-Rump be-alike scenario — but then saw the weird-ass number of gun-violence stories last night and I just had to switch to a firearm-centric plot, my second such in less than a week (first one here, if…
Even as life spins along and Joe Biden has been president nearly six months, the vile, infectious T-Rump virus continues to plague mankind and no known vaccine in sight, other than a way-shitload of people suddenly gaining reality perception. Anyone with walking-around sense could see Joe Biden’s European trip this week was like a hundred-trillion-percent…
And finally, the boil has come home to roost — tweet below my NWS forecast for right-about now for where I live, California’s Central Valley, as the massive heat wave which just hours ago was located mostly in the US SW has shifted: We’re expecting triple-digit temperatures today and for a few days to come,…
After an elderly guy in Placer County died in March 2020, the first COVID-19 death in California, the state with the rest of the country went into near-shock mode with lockdowns/shutdowns/stay-at-home orders, etc. that would put a wedge into the normalacy of living. We here in California shut-her-down first in the country and after attempting…
