War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast and damp this Thursday evening on California’s north coast — drizzled all day. Despite that, took a nice dog-hike to Little River State Beach this morning, and as apparently not many willing to venture outside in the breezy wetness, had the whole area to ourselves. Another episode in the good-time-had-by-all category. Weather-wise, supposedly much…
Sunshine, thick-white clouds and a goodly breeze. The Little River Beach was superb this morning when I finally took Cowboy and Kuru for their walk — good time had by all. Meanwhile, also from this morning, and AG William Barr’s testimony before Congress, an obvious display of political villainy — Democrat Nita Lowey, chair of…
(Illustration: ‘Donald Trump,’ by Adam Khabibi, found here). Ugly shit this morning out yonder in DC. What a mess this country is in with the way-clusterfuck of the T-Rump operation — and a real-main problem it’s not just him, as shit does attract flies. I’m waiting for the sun to stay out for awhile before…
First post at Compatible Creatures in 17 days, how time seems to fly. Frantic life we lead — an actual whimsy from Dictionary.com: Time passes quickly, as in It’s midnight already? Time flies when you’re having fun, or I guess it’s ten years since I last saw you — how time flies. This idiom was…
(Illustration by Handoko Tjung, found here). Some drizzle and wind this Wednesday evening on California’s north coast — rain forecast for tonight, but sunshine on the morrow. Weather is the centerfold of our time, and a downer encapsulates the current narrative — from today’s Phys.org: A new study has revealed that the language used by…
(Illustration: M.C Escher’s ‘Scholastica,’ found here). Near-clear and chilly this Saturday evening here on California’s north coast — mostly sunny today, though, some cloud coverage throughout, and on the dunes at Little River Beach, the scene was way-nice, and warm, too. The dunes make for a most-excellent wind break. Supposedly dry and sometimes-sunny until Wednesday,…
Just when the black-comedy shit gets real, and it’s WTF: One of the few actual capabilities of the T-Rump is in sowing uneducated chaos — an acknowledgment of that talent last month from Joe Balash, assistant secretary for land and minerals with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, speaking podium-wise at a conference for folks…
Maybe another hopeful sign of the rolling times — the White House press corp might finally be getting the hang. In yesterday’s first press briefing in 42 days, Huckleberry Sanders discovered reporters were on the push-back and bullshitting wasn’t going to cut it. Although I didn’t see the event live, a few clips of reporters…
(Illustration found here). A warm and bright Monday afternoon on California’s north coast. Despite temperatures only in the mid-50s around noon-time, the lack of any decent wind fostered a much-more-warmer feeling. Walking the dogs earlier out on Little River State Beach the air felt actually, ‘hot.’ Even if using that word too soon in the…
(Illustration: M.C. Escher’s ‘Tower of Babel,’ found here). Sunshine chilled by crispy-breezes this late-afternoon Sunday on California’s north coast, fully a gorgeous day, even despite a run-in earlier with some weather — walking the dogs on North Beach, still covered in bright sunlight, a big-ugly mass of dark, condensed water vapor appeared lumbering right for…
