War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Thinly-overcast this early Friday morning on California’s north coast, producing some faded sunshine, which is better than none at all. And the wind is down, too, also a game-changer this close to the shoreline — nice and warm so far. A decent-sized rain system expected by Sunday, maybe earlier, and supposedly could last until the…
Another morning here on California’s north coast — in this instance, a Friday. A hazy-white glow peaks light from the east, filtered by high, wispy clouds, and so far a weather-facsimile from yesterday. Warm the word just about all day Thursday, so maybe we’ll get some of the same today — all way-good. And further…
Way-windy with some light rain this early Thursday on California’s north coast, a hazy hint of light building in the east — waiting for a supposed whopper of a rainstorm, maybe allowing for up to two inches of rain across the area. According to the NWS right now, the forecast every day through Saturday is…
Thick-overcast clouds amongst some early sunlight this Thursday morning here on California’s north coast, and once again, feels cold. Not all that cold, though, right now near 50 and forecast is for the low 60s sometime today. Rain for tomorrow, but looks like it could come anytime — new rainfall totals for December from the NWS,…
High overcast and a bit on the chilly side this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — heavy rain expected later today, on Thursday, too, and maybe, just maybe, some sunshine on Friday. Last week, the forecast called for a full-sunshine day on Tuesday, now the fickle winds of weather has pushed it back to…
Part-n-parcel on the road to the Great American Dream (via the Washington Post): But then there are deeper factors at work. The economy has gotten bigger, but much of that growth hasn’t reached the middle class. Indeed, the top 1 percent grabbed 95 percent of all the gains during the recovery’s first three years. And…
Bright and a bit windy this Saturday afternoon here on California’s north coast — another day in the life. Elizabeth Warren is one of the better ones in DC — she’s got an Op/Ed on the US Senate’s upcoming Bank on Students Emergency Loan Refinancing Act, and the details, but the opening paragraph is a…
In an unusual natural display, apparently there will be a real sun-up this Monday on California’s north coast — the eastern sky is clear-as-glass with an orange glow forming on the horizon. Instead of deep, misty fog as been the constant nearly all summer, the sun has a Kipling mystic: ‘An’ the dawn comes up…
Fog again this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, nothing new but the morning. Still considered in the ‘Partly Cloudy’ genre of weather forecasts, we could top 70 degrees today and the warmth could continue for the rest of the week. My week, though, ends today. This morning ends my more-than seven-year employment at ‘Cask…
Light fog and cool this early Monday on California’s north coast as we start another work week. And from this vantage point, Friday looks years away. Today is special — for me. This is my last full-work week as I’m retiring, and the liquor store I manage will have to continue running without me. My…
