War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast with occasional faded sunlight this afternoon, and feels a bit more chilly, too, than lately — the coastal fog bank seems to have hugged-tighter today, makes a huge difference. Also maybe a big difference tomorrow, and again, maybe not — Tuesday evening we’ll all receive an extra ‘leap second,’ due to a minor time desynchronization…
A light-overcast through a thin marine layer this early Friday on California’s north coast — a bright-gray light to end the work-week. Appears as if yesterday: quick burn-off, a warm afternoon tempered by a cool breeze (maybe low-70s at the shoreline) — the interior, however, continues to fry fairly-well. In the forests and mountain valleys…
Fog-influenced overcast this early Monday on California’s north coast — another notch in our mundane weather cycle. Now officially into summer, we’re still going to be the same for awhile. Despite the environment here along the Pacific shoreline, the NWS calls for triple-digit temperatures this week for the interior, and more wildfires. We’re supposedly due…
Bright and windy this afternoon along California’s north coast, coasting on through the week. Although a news addict, I didn’t spot this via NASA until this afternoon: ‘“Asteroid Icarus will safely pass by Earth at more than 21 times the distance of Earth to the moon on June 16. To put it another way, Icarus, one…
No fog this Friday morning along California’s north coast — all semi-clear skies and sunshine for a change. A light cloud layer hanging to the east the only filter — and the air seems to be already getting warm, too, but that’s just skin deep as we’re not expected to top 65 degrees. Extreme heat…
A damp-looking, deep-gray-ground fog deadens first light this too-early Monday on California’s north coast — although dismal appearing now, the NWS claims today will be ‘mostly sunny,‘ with temperatures in the low-70s, ‘heat wave‘ weather for us. Of course, I’m being dumb — the NWS has issued a hot weather advisory for the interior of…
Bright sunshine and feeling warm — at least for up here along California’s north coast — and as it’s Friday afternoon, we’re way-close to the weekend now. In a pure instance of time-travel, mind-wise anyway, and I did not remember this at all until close-to-right-now — 47 years ago earlier today, Bobby Kennedy was gunned…
Thick-gray clouds on an early Thursday, hanging-low along California’s north coast — might be more fog than cloud, sometime hard to reckon, but whatever, supposedly should be clearing fairly-quickly this morning. The NWS forecasts dry weather through middle of next week, but for today, a rare use of the word, ‘Breezy,’ with a small logo…
Drizzling this afternoon on California’s north coast — a steady, chilled damp in the air, a slip maybe above fog. As a retiree, and a baby boomer, I’m witnessing our long dumb-ass tale approaching an ironic, befuddled end, or something — we’re living longer in deteriorating health with less medical insurance, and we’re not handling…
Overcast so-laced with ground fog there’s drizzle in the air — no real rain forecast until Sunday night and into Monday, but this continuing low cloud situation makes life a bit wet. And making life more than a bit shitty — lack of sleep. Six years ago, without any preamble at all, I developed a…
