War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Chilly-air and overcast on the first Monday in November — every once in awhile this morning, my little section of California’s north coast does get washed with some cloud-filtered sunshine for a few minutes. Maybe if the wind kicks up a bit, so will the shine. Tomorrow is Election Day, but here on the Left…
Overcast and cured with bit of a chilled breeze this early Thursday on California’s north coast — maybe rain, maybe not. We’re forecast for it the next couple of days, but it’s all blowing in the wind. Even in a whiff, it’s all crazy — CNN headline this morning, ‘Maine nurse in Ebola controversy bikes…
Due to this really, really crazy world and all the news pouring from every direction 24/7, I miss a lot of stuff otherwise buried — one for sure is the report Joni Mitchell will release a new box-set-collection of her tunes, due Nov. 17, where she boiled down 17 albums into 53 songs. In a…
Clear and windy right now this early Saturday on California’s north coast — we’re in the midst of hostile weather with high winds, gusts up to 45, and supposedly some heavy rain, maybe a bit of hail tossed into the mix. According to the Lost Coast Outpost last evening, the environment will be fit for…
Overcast with some heavy cloud cover this afternoon on California’s north coast, and a rising wind, portends the coming rain. Beyond the abnormal-new-normal chaos in Ottawa, Canada, that’s currently hammering through the news cycle, is this via the Washington Post: Since at least Tuesday, some satellite data – an important input to weather prediction models…
Dark-gray overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and a bit of a chilly wind, too. We’re forecast for rain, 100-percent supposedly for tonight — looks gothic and gloomy right now. Likewise for funereal news this morning, was the death announced last night of Ben Bradlee, the 93-year-old former editor of the Washington Post,…
One of the sadly-prolific and ironically-evolving tragedies of these modern times has to be Iraq. The invasion 11 years ago could-be most-easily “the greatest strategic disaster in U.S. history,” but for sure, that one single event also marked day one of a fucked-up, immoral, man-made calamity. Flashback dream at right: A frightened child flees Basra,…
Overcast with thick skies this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — we’re expecting rain all this week, starting this morning, supposedly, with maybe up to half-an-inch of precipitation. And along with the rain, some fairly-strong winds, too, with all indications a goodly-sized weather system coming upon us. So be it. Bad sense of disaster,…
Clear and chilly this early-morn Monday on California’s north coast — there’s a misty-bit of ground fog, which seems to sparkle and glow when sunshine reaches through it, creating for just seconds, the illusion of a way-colorful buzz to the air. Burns off pretty quick, though, if there’s no real off-shore wind. Despite the fireball,…
In the parlance of close calls, American dodged one nasty, dangerous bullet in 2008. Last month, that projectile was actually a fist — Sarah Palin and her whole family got involved in a drunken brawl up yonder in Anchorage, Alaska, with shirtless fighting, slut shaming and all kinds of odorous activities. Ms Sarah also screamed…
