War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Rain clouds but little rain this afternoon on California’s north coast — we’ve received a few isolated ‘sprinkles‘ and that’s all. An occasional dash of sunshine, so there’s that. Last week, a couple of arrogant buffoons stepped into political shit up to their Baghdads, and in a backdoor reversal, let the ugly cat out of…
Bright sunshine with a wisp of a cool breeze this afternoon here on California’s north coast — another weekend in store. As a retiree, I’ve come to appreciate the work week way-more than the next couple of days, and how a certain sense can maybe make no sense. So be it crazy (via antiwar.com): ‘At…
In a flight of American history, today is the 40th anniversary of the fall of Saigon, actually bringing to a shitty end America’s shitty experience in Vietnam — iconic photos of helicopters lifting people off US embassy rooftops a reminder a generation later that war don’t work. Last month, three physician groups released a report,…
Reality will never actually leave George W. Bush alone, the destruction and waste created from scratch will continue to thrive, the denial of accountability a way-shitty sting to America’s self esteem as conjured-up to the world. One wonders if Americans care to understand — from the History News Network dated Nov. 6, 2008: In an informal survey…
Bright and windy this afternoon on California’s north coast, and a bit of breeze-driven chill in the air, too — altogether not unpleasant, however. I saw this story from over the past weekend, the first reaction to the headline at Raw Story was WTF! ‘George W. Bush Gets Intelligence Group Award.’ Yet the stink —…
Goodly-bit of rain this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, a hefty downpour in the morning darkness. This system has been a wet one. The NWS has forecast ‘mostly sunny‘ for tomorrow, though, and Thursday, then ‘partly sunny‘ on Friday, with more rain slated for the weekend. Surfing the news reveals nothing really new, other…
High overcast with sunshine this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast, though, a porous/moist gray blanket hanging just in sight west of my apartment indicates most-likely heavy shoreline fog closer to the ocean. Rain still on for the weekend, supposedly. No inkling earlier today was a heinous-celebratory one — the 12th anniversary of the US…
Bright sunshine and clear skies this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast, and really warm — right now the NWS claims it’s 71 degrees, nearly summertime weather. Windows are open to a soft breeze that feels nice. Not nice is extreme fear. In the shadow of that Paris terror attack today, was this bit of…
Ground fog this way-early Tuesday here on California’s north coast — flashback yesterday afternoon and right now with the appearance of the thick mist low-to-the-road. Usually a summer, spring thing. The NWS is calling it ‘patchy fog’ this morning, a seeming truism, on smoke breaks on the back patio, a star or two can be…
Rain showers this early Monday on California’s north coast — forecast for maybe some sun tomorrow, but reportedly a big-bang storm due in about mid-week — we’re scheduled perhaps for nearly 2.5 inches of rain on Wednesday, and by Friday morning, four to six inches, heavier amounts southward/landward. So, boys and girls, gird thy loins,…
