War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Windy, sunshine-filled late afternoon Tuesday here on California’s North Coast — good weather off good climate. Speaking of which, this exchange during a Humboldt County Board of Supervisors meeting last February on a just-released North Coast climate assessment: Third District Supervisor Mike Wilson suggested that Humboldt County could be where “climate refugees” seek refuge. “We…
Beautiful Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, sunshine and warmth just about all day — a dog run to the Ma-le’l Dunes in the AM was exhaustively-most-enjoyable, and sweaty. The Redwood Gun Club’s firing range is just north of the South Unit of the Ma-le’l Dunes, where we always go, and although we did hear…
Life of the T-Rump’s action — via The Salt Lake Tribune this morning: Rep. Chris Stewart’s town hall meeting Wednesday evening quickly turned wild when — after three recent mass shootings — the first question asked how the government can better keep people safe amid such threats. Soon, the event devolved into a shouting match…
Sunny with a slight breeze this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, and warm, too. (Illustration: M.C Escher’s ‘Scholastica (Full Moon),’ found here). As the T-Rump continues to spiral into dangerous madness on a daily basis, there comes the question whether the piece-of-shit is the worse president, ever, or not — in the 2017 C-Span…
Sunny and nice this Thursday evening here in California’s north coast — summer’s near-about two-thirds gone. A bit under-the-weather the past few days with a head cold of sorts, a condition which probably started late last week, but came to fruition over the weekend and made my life decently-miserable since Monday. I feel much better…
Another appealing early-evening here on California’s north coast, and a Friday to boot — sunshine just about all day with just some foggy/low clouds in the morning, but way-comfortable. Tomorrow will be the 50th anniversary of the first US landing on the moon, and a first for humanity, too. Even as an old guy, it…
Again sunshine and wind this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast, and despite the breeze, fairly warm. Weather uniformity, especially in our summer season of daily-days of first-fog-then-sun and wind momentum makes for a nice stretch of outdoors time. Dog walk earlier at Little River Beach was toasty, and successful. We’re in a crisis clusterfuck,…
Sunshine right now coupled with a cool, brisk ocean breeze this late-afternoon Friday here on California’s north coast. Earlier mostly cloudy with just a little sun, but who knows… Pablo Picasso’s ‘Harlequin Head,’ (found here), from 1971, sure does resemble President Obama, in a surreal form, of course, and excellent art for a post about an…
Sprinkling sunshine this late-afternoon Monday here on California’s north coast, beyond some patchy-fog here-and-there, our daytime weather should supposedly stay this way for awhile. Although the NWS does forecast a 20-percent chance of showers tomorrow, we’re in summer mode along the coast, hence, no one really knows for sure the real shit. First dog run…
Overcast-gray this Friday evening with occasional faded-yellow sunlight shifting through — back to normal here on California’s north coast. This Sunday four years ago — June 16, 2015 — the T-Rump took that infamous, caricature-like, narcissistic escalator ride in Trump Tower, down he glided/slithered into shameful history. The artwork, ‘Basic Shapes,‘ by caricaturist/illustrator Chong Jit…
