War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Just when you figured the freaked-out plate was full, from global warming to ISIS to Trump/Palin, now comes the cash-flow event — from NASDAQ this afternoon: ‘The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 376 points, or 2.4 percent, to 15640, after earlier dropping as much as 565 points.’ Rapidly-tanking oil prices are sucking everybody down the drain-hole…
(Illustration found here). New research published last week from the University of Michigan indicates a noticeable shift to weed as the best medicine. As more states legalize cannabis consumption, many more people will likely use medical marijuana as a supplement to or substitution for prescription drugs, says a University of Michigan researcher. A new study…
Deceptive skies this early Friday on California’s north coast as we encounter a gentle respite in these ‘conveyor-style’ rain storms the last month or so — especially the last batch carrying a shitload of moisture. And supposedly, we’re just hours away from another drenching with forecasts calling for possible 3-to-5-inches of rain for the area…
Overcast with fairly-strong wind gusts this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast we we get set to launch into another round of storm fronts. The NWS calls for one-to-three-inches of rain with winds maybe gusting up to 45 mph here along the shoreline for later today. As a single parent of five kids — four…
In my own personal history, one of the weirdest, disconcerting moments for me was when I first glimpsed David Bowie’s, ‘Diamond Dogs‘ album in a record store — a freaked-intellectual stare of madness right out into the open air — times were feeling strange. The summer of 1974 was way-extraordinary for me, and although not…
America’s longest war continues seemingly unabated — in southern Afghanistan, a “harrowing” situation: “On the map there is one green dot representing friendly forces stuck in the compound, and around it is a sea of red [representing hostile forces],” the official told Fox News. One American dead already… (Illustration found here). Apparently, the drama is even-more…
Once again bright sunshine and cold temperatures here on California’s north coast as another new year arrives, whether we like it or not, and it sure don’t feel like a Friday. And it sure-as-shit don’t feel like another ‘whole‘ year has gone bye-bye — my post from last Jan. 1 (seemingly a swift dash in…

Maybe just getting old, or something, but it appears to me time is traveling a whole-lot faster than it did only a short few…
Overcast-darkly awaiting rain this early Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast, as the ‘conveyor belt’ storms continue According to the NWS 48-hour rainfall totals note this morning, we received nearly two-and-a-half inches of the wet stuff in just a couple of days — a goodly drench. And a goodly-long war without results continues, too. Another…
Rainy, windy and chilly this early Thursday on California’s north coast, as our ‘conveyor-belt’ storm-style continues seemingly unabated. And circulating in that warm, surging, El Niño-influenced Pacific Ocean — along with our weather elements — are radioactive shit still coming toward us off the Fukushima disaster. Now coming upon five years later… Early on March 11,…
