War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
As I get older, the writing process appears to be short-winded, and based on mood — creative juices just don’t percolate onto the page, or as in this modern era, onto the laptop screen as easily, and, nowhere the quantity as years gone bye-bye. Emotion seems to rule the brain, creating a hopefully short-lived writer’s…
Overcast this early Friday on California’s north coast and here we are again on the cusp of another weekend — can’t get here soon enough. Time flies even when you’re doing absolutely nothing — there are two, and only two, major political parties in the US and one of those is nothing more than a…
Heavy ground fog this way-early Thursday along California’s north coast, and way-quiet, too. The usual noise from the Pacific Ocean, only about a mile or so away, can’t be heard at all. Up high, though, there seems to be a thin-spot in the mist as the half-moon hangs brightly in the southern sky — a…
Cloudy, drizzle and fog — another Sunday here on California’s north coast, though, the normal pedigree for this neck of the woods. Started out about the same yesterday, but near-noon sunshine came and everybody went home happy. Reportedly, we’re in for temperatures in the 70s tomorrow, and maybe after see-sawing during the week, temps climbing…
Up here on California’s north coast this Saturday morning, outside looks deep-overcast, gloomy and gothic — a book by its cover? What you see might not be what it is, yet, at the same time, be exactly what it looks like, only worse. Weather has become more than just background noise. Under the weather, we…
Clear skies with a fingernail moon hanging in the dark, quiet with just a hint of the rumble in the Pacific Ocean a couple of miles away — up here on California’s north coast we’ve been experiencing some most-delightful weather the last few days. A high of 70 degrees is forecast for today, and the…
Clear and kind of warm this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, the near-half moon hanging like a bright closet-orb seen from far away. Day-to-day life viewed from the stars. In a world gone bat-shit crazy, focal points are seemingly on everything except the way-most important — the earth that moon is still-shining happily down…
Well, here it is again, another early Monday on California’s north coast with the skies nearly clear, and maybe even more warm than it will be in a couple of hours. And after a too-short weekend, it appears time itself has gone nuts — crazy being the egg that fried the golden goose. And speaking…
Raining again this way-early Friday morning on California’s north coast, and warm, too. We need the rain, and the heat takes the bite out of getting quickly soaked. Water and warmth, which together create a way-rainy future, as reported yesterday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA): The study also showed a 20-30 percent…
High overcast and fairly warm relatively speaking this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and we did get some rain in the evening yesterday, more is expected today, and the rest of the week. The wet we can use as this area so far this year been 25 to 35 percent of normal for rain,…
