War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
High overcast and chilly this finally-Friday morning here on California’s north coast — a short work week, but a long slog to get through it. Although officially still spring, summer, for all real intentions is here and the ugly, swollen glands of 2014 continue unabated. Not up here, however, as summer is spring and fall…
High overcast and way-quiet this early Monday on California’s north coast. I can’t even hear the Pacific Ocean, only a couple of miles away, as the morning sound so full of stillness it’s kind of weird. We require some type noise on a frickin’ Monday. The weekend went terrifyingly fast even if I did absolutely…
Overcast and some ground fog this early Friday on California’s north coast as we attempt to slide right into the weekend without too much crap — weather up here has tended back to the normal with early-morning mist to afternoon sunshine. And it’s still fairly warm, but nothing like the south-end of the state. Soaking…
Raining fairly-hard this arrived-way-too-fast Monday morning on California’s north coast. Seemingly, time freaked me Friday afternoon; home after work, and without even a hint of a whisper, I’m like ‘Right here and now!.’ Clocks mark the movement, but actual time is really, really subjective. The old adage, “Times flies when you’re having fun,” appears no…
Overcast with some ground fog this early Friday on California’s north coast, and still a bit on the warm side. Yesterday was another gorgeous outing — bright sunshine and way-‘hot’ temperatures, like maybe in the 70s. Whoa! And the weekend is near-about on us! Also falling fast upon us is the coming end of the…
Stars twinkling in a clear sky this early Thursday on California’s north coast with an unusually-strong breeze, too. A warm-like wind I might add. Although we’re not supposed to keep our high temperatures — we topped 85 degrees yesterday, a virtual heat wave for us — the weather is forecast to be pretty and calm…
Rainy and chilly this early Friday on California’s north coast — on the plus side, it’s Friday! Another work week bites the dust as we move further and further into 2014. Hard morning. A nasty bout of insomnia during the night, which eventually peeled away for a couple of hours sleep, but beyond my “normal”…
Ground fog and a little warm this way-too-early Thursday on California’s north coast as we cruise toward the weekend. And tomorrow’s Friday, so we ain’t that far away. Up this early, I down a cup of coffee before my eyes are even open. In the mid-1990s, the revelation of coffee-power changed my mornings and was…
No-more-excuses point, in a kind of watershed moment this morning — via the Guardian: Catastrophic climate change can be averted without sacrificing living standards, according to a landmark UN report published on Sunday. It concludes the transformation required to a world of clean energy and the ditching of dirty fossil fuels is eminently affordable. My…
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…
