War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
I’ve smoked marijuana for nearly half a century, and I’m a much better person for it, so this is long, long overdue: Marijuana has a shitty history due to asshole history. Americans and Europeans had known of pot’s medical value since at least the 1830s, and toward the end of the 19th century, we could…
Sunny and mild this near-noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — and considering it’s still summer, use of the descriptive word ‘mild,’ is weather-wise saying a lot. As for instance, Hurricane Idalia’s cruise through Florida and onto into Georgia and the Carolinas — although a massive hit, circumstances proved to be a ‘dodged-a-bullet’ scenario…
Sunny and mildly hot this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley. And today, too, the death of the iconic Bob Barker at 99. In truth, I hadn’t thought about him for years and years, yet was even surprised he had been alive all this time. Yet he was a part of our weekday history…
Nice and sunny this late afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — weather-wise a most-pleasant way to end the work week. Unpleasant, however, is this ugly, nefarious mug that has washed across the InterWebs today: (Image found here.) In US history there’s never been a president like the T-Rump’s time in office, and there’s…
Sunshine and warm this early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — we received near-about nothing off Hilary’s wrath, and like I mentioned yesterday, most of the heavy rain and deep-seated flooding struck south and east of us. We dodged a catastrophic-weather bullet this time around, but there’s no rejoicing because there’s way-more where that…
Scattered clouds with occasional shivers of sunshine this near-noon hour Monday here in California’s Central Valley –we’re still dry and still awaiting rain from off Hilary, though, it apparently seems the blunt of the tropical storm’s presence is being felt to the south and east. We’re forecast for rain this afternoon, but it’s not supposed…
Overcast and humid this near-noon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re awaiting the impact from former Hurricane Hillary, now categorized a tropical storm, in the maybe form of rain and wind. Although the biggest Hilary splash will be south and east of us (southern Cal, and Nevada), there’s an unknown mystery to all…
Humid and hot this near-noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — hopefully this will be the final triple-digit days for at least a while as we venture into less warm episodes, though, in no way could it be categorized as anything approaching ‘cool,’ just less scorching. Oddly enough, we could get rain by Sunday…
Hot and even more hot this noonish nour Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — outside the air is heavy and feels like you’ve just stepped into some kind of odd, surreal oil painting. Art of the weather. A most delectable fable tale seen this morning: And of that conflict between reality and the bubble…
Hot and getting hotter this near-noon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — in the midst of a short but sturdy heated spell with our high forecast today to be 105 degrees, all triple digits through the weekend. Summer continues. And on a continued roll, too, is the law and T-Rump. The InterWebs this morning…
