War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Rain and more rain this early Thursday on California’s north coast, supposedly the same story at least until the end of next week — thick clouds and chilly air, normal weather for here. We’re forecast to get sunshine on Sunday, but that’s a maybe. One aspect of the local area I find disheartening is the…
Dark and rainy this early Friday on California’s north coast, and on my back patio, a sight of a half-moon hanging slightly southward, but seemingly way-up there in a broken-cloudy sky. A lot of rain last night, and the few days. Rainfall totals for the area last month from the NWS — my little spot…
Cloudy with occasional rain-showers this early Thursday on California’s north coast, a preview forecast for us the next few days. An additional ugly, slightly-nauseous mug in the news recently has belonged to George Jr., who’s been floating about the airwaves hawking a book and soft-clowning for the news media. In all those interviews, never once…
Bright and breezy this late afternoon as the day is slowly falling-darkly away. Those gosh-awful midterms last week should have been called the ‘apathetic election’ as it had the worst turnout in 72 years — just 36.3 percent of eligible voters went to the polls. Up here in Humboldt County we followed suit — just…
Dark and overcast this Tuesday afternoon here on California’s north coast — and getting cold, too. We’re forecast for rain tomorrow, and on-n-off precipitation through the weekend. Of course, our ‘cold,’ ain’t nowhere like ‘cold‘ for some parts of the US. For instance: ‘Atlanta and Birmingham, Alabama, are expecting daytime high temperatures in the mid-40s…
Sunshine, high, fluffy clouds and a cool breeze this Saturday afternoon on California’s north coast — we’re supposed to have comparable conditions the next couple of days, but weather’s still weather, especially this close to the shoreline. A chance of rain by Tuesday. Along with the gut-wrenching, flinging bad shit into a high-tempered fan last…
Bright shiny sunshine this afternoon, and a nice warm breeze, too. In the quaking and shuddering over the midterms, one item just a week or so ago seemed to pass without much notice — the US Marines handed over control (the keys) to Camp Leatherneck, the huge military installation in Afghanistan’s Helmand province, to the Afghans.…
Way-bright sunshine this afternoon, and way-warm, too, at least here on this little spot of California’s north coast. Already the smut from a newly-up-chucked US Senate — from Fox News: ‘The Republican wave Tuesday could bring a gusher of oil down from Canada, as GOP gains in the Senate appeared to give backers of the…
A reddish tint in the eastern sky this Wednesday morning, maybe sailors and all Americans take warning — here on California’s north coast, most-likely overcast with late afternoon sunshine. Another day in the life… No so for the sad, dumb-ass US of A — apparently there’s a shitload of ignorant, clueless Americans out there, enough…
Overcast and some ground fog early Tuesday on California’s north coast — we’re forecast for maybe-70-percent-chance of rain this morning, and it could happen. Today is the $4 billion Day — in the weird, schizophrenic, and highly-amnesic US of A, the 2014 midterm elections. And we could be really fucked at the end of the…
