War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Occasional bright sunlight amidst thick, fluffy-white clouds this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, our second-in-a-row full day in a long time of luminous shine without any kind of a hint of rain. Although apparently, it did rain last night, the feeling today is near-awesome. Meanwhile, some shitty news — yesterday my daughter tested…
(Illustration found here.) Drizzling rain and cold this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley as wet weather continues on into the new year — we set rainfall records on Friday and Saturday for my area and according to our NWS regional office more heavy rainfall is forecast for this week. Up to an inch…
A bit overcast this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley — a kick-off to the holiday season. Thursday is Thanksgiving; from there it’s just a hop-skip-and-a-jump to Christmas and the New Year. Shit moves quickly in a well-endowed vacuum. And to start off, Joe Biden is history’s latest to pardon possible table platters: Joe…
Fading sunshine and a lingering chill this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — approaching the end of another beautiful day embedded in a comfortable autumn season. First, a couple of updates from yesterday’s posts on war and a shitty former American president. Although I wrote about the Russian missile that struck Poland and…
Another sunshine-splashed morning here in California’s Central Valley — weather on a Thursday in a week of excitement and suspense — a nice environment right now, but soon due to accelerating climate change becoming not so good in the way-near future. And maybe, too, the blue-tinted midterms from Tuesday might be a hint of salvation…
Chilly with increasing sunshine here in California’s Central Valley this near-noon Wednesday. It should play out as another nifty autumn day as we approach the darkening gloom of winter in just a few short weeks. We should hold onto these fleeting good environmental episodes — as apparently not-nice shit is coming faster than we can…
(Image found here.) Despite posting about the incident earlier this week, I couldn’t bring myself to even write about the shitty horror of the entire family being killed, especially including an 8-month-old baby girl. There are horrific crimes, and then there are horrendous crimes, and this is a murderous combination. All mostly old news and…
Joe Biden earlier this afternoon: “As I often said during my campaign for President, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana. Sending people to prison for possessing marijuana has upended too many lives and incarcerated people for conduct that many states no longer prohibit. Criminal records for marijuana possession have…
In the zone again today, Joe Biden toured parts of storm-devastated Florida and displayed how to handle a bloated-nasty asshole, while acting like a caring human being with survivors of Hurricane Ian. Joe pulls not-many punches. First — an update on that family kidnapping here in Merced, California, I posted yesterday — they seemed to…
Wonderful weather this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley, in fact, probably as good-as-it-gets around these parts — temps in the low 70s, clear with plenty of sunshine, as seemingly autumn be here a few days early. Meanwhile, back to shitty — Republicans are becoming more-obvious in being cruel assholes: And way stupid —…
