War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Gray with a chilled air this early-evening Tuesday here on California’s north coast — contrast the way-ugly weather elsewhere. And a frame to the life under the T-Rump — Americans are swiftly-feeling the chill. Even well before all the ominous North Korean war news today, and before T-Rump’s ‘”fire and fury”‘ blather, a big chunk…
Sunshine still this late Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast — another gorgeous episode of summer. T-Rump appears in a rapid melt-down, or even worse — oh, the causticity, as explained this morning by Gail Collins at the New York Times: Pick your favorite irony: 1) Donald Trump turns out to be terrible at firing…
Typical summer’s weather-fare this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast — sunshine smothered by fog. Although there’s still a faded-yellow glow, it won’t last long as a deep gray has been slowly floating onto shore the last couple of hours. Life spirals… As T-Rump becomes more repugnant with each passing day, the changing climate is…
Sunny with a chilled wind this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — the summer’s beat continues. This morning, a short visit from an old, longtime friend, one I hadn’t seen, or maybe not even talked to in more than two decades, and the experience was way-pleasant. Odd the years, how fast they pass, and…
Time marches forward, no matter the bullshit tossed up into the fan of life — distraction is the byword now, and there’s plenty. Even as we digest T-Rump Jr.’s asshole antics, and the Senate’s confirmation hearings this morning for Christopher A. Wray as FBI director, the real, reality continues unabated. A massive Antarctic iceberg, more…
Bright sunshine this near-noon Thursday melding with only a wisp of wind, producing what could be called a ‘heat wave‘ for here on California’s north coast. However, inland just a short space and an actual ‘heat wave’ with temperatures in the triple digits — we’re reportedly at 72-degress right now. Although now retired nearly three years,…
First post in well-more than a week, the longest period in the 10-year history of Compatible Creatures — a literary gap of the times. A lifelong exertion of a writer absent. A variety of reasons — most-notable, a continuous, hugely-horrific news cycle, a way-downer, and beyond depressing, starving any mucked-up desire to write shit about…
Weak, near-pathetic sunshine this early-evening Wednesday on California’s north coast, trying hard to break through the merging marine layer, and previewing a wet-cloudy future the next few days. According to the NWS, ‘unseasonably heavy rain‘ will spatter the region starting tonight and continuing through Monday — an out-of-season ‘Atmospheric River,’ This afternoon, however, the huge…
Faded-yellow sunshine finally scuttling the overcast here this late-afternoon Tuesday on California’s north coast — pale light it is, as supposedly rain starting tomorrow night and mostly-wet through the weekend. Dreary this morning, and seemingly the last few days, weeks, and for at least a month. Life and the news has become so tedious, the…
Sunshine and warmth this Wednesday evening on California’s north coast, a scenario of the good-as-it-gets category — not much wind helped the heat. According to the NWS, however, tomorrow a change of pace with a forecast of ‘Slight Chance Showers,’ but we’ll wait and see. And with climate change, we don’t need to wait any longer…
