War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
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…
Raining fairly-heavy this way-early Tuesday on California’s north coast — chilly, too, as we experience spring splashing out all over the place. We received more than half-an-inch of rain already, according to the local weather people, and more is expected the rest of the week. Although, supposedly tomorrow should be dry — yeah, right. Today…
Overcast with a chilly wind this early Monday on California’s north coast — a winter-like weather system is bearing down on us with forecasts of pretty-heavy thunderstorms today and tomorrow. Sometimes spring doesn’t sprout all the way. And today, the infamous IPCC report on climate change is made public — way-bad news, but even worse…
