War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A bit overcast and quiet this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we reach mid-week work style. There’s just way-too-many days between Monday and Friday. And speaking of ganja, especially up here in the pot-growing center of the entire universe, a bunch of well-respected economic brainiacs have called for the eternally-foolish, 40-year-old drug war to…
Rain and a gusty wind here on California’s north coast this Sunday morning — “unsettled weather” in that generalized-meteorologist kind of way — which is fairly-normal for certain seaside places. Wet, stormy-like conditions all over the West the next few days, especially up Seattle way. Meanwhile, far to the east and last night, was the…
Up until just about an hour ago, I was feeling good — the weekend with the sun shining and the air up here on California’s northern coastline warm and fuzzy. Until Greg Mitchell at The Nation reminded me that yesterday was the 11th anniversary of George Jr.’s horrifying stunt of “Mission Accomplished” jet landing on the…
Overcast with some ground fog this early Friday on California’s north coast, and still a bit on the warm side. Yesterday was another gorgeous outing — bright sunshine and way-‘hot’ temperatures, like maybe in the 70s. Whoa! And the weekend is near-about on us! Also falling fast upon us is the coming end of the…
Overcast with a bit of drizzle this early Thursday on California’s north coast — and warmer than expected as yesterday afternoon and evening were pretty chilly adding to the wet air. We’re here now, though, that’s something. And something, too, was last night with no tsunami warnings from a 6.7 earthquake right off Canada’s Vancouver…
Overcast and quiet this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — at mid-week, it’s gotta be all down hill from here, right? Yesterday, the original idea for my morning post was Earth Day (which was Tuesday), but due to problems with my site, I forgot about it as I rushed about to finish the post…
Clear and a bit chilly this Friday morning on California’s north coast — the bright, disk-like moon hangs to the south, creeping westward toward the Pacific Ocean. And a surprise yesterday afternoon — rain. Although an overall light shower, on occasion I could hear the raindrops popping all over the place. No more wet in…
Quiet with a deep, and low overcast this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — a situation which blocked us from the famous “blood moon” episode, seen just about everywhere else this morning. The total lunar eclipse supposedly painted the moon a coppery red, and everybody rejoiced — so says a Tweeter from Missouri: “It’s…
Low overcast and ground fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and a bit on the warm side, too. Another typical Humboldt County weather situation — fog with splashes of sunshine. Beyond the continuing news cycle of about the same thing — still searching the pings in the Indian Ocean; Russia warns of more…
(Illustration: The Dick, George Jr., and Rummy posture-preen serious — found here) As a sixth-grader, I was near-about convinced the United States of America was the greatest country in the history of the world. In 1960, we Americans figured our shit didn’t stink. Mainly and just-about all due to our elders telling us so, inbred…
