War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A dark, dreary and dismal-looking overcast sky this early Sunday morning here on California’s north coast — more rain coming, it looks like. If those two guys in that photo on the left look like pretentious assholes, it’s because they are, and from all appearances do indeed carry an aura of being total dick-heads —…
Crystal-clear and a bit chilly this Friday morning on California’s north coast with a majestic full moon hanging mega-bright over it all — despite that, we’ve a 90 percent forecast for rain later today, maybe with some thunderstorms tonight. Weather is as peculiar as life nowadays. Apparently, in this humanistic, modern age, guns are king:…
Overcast and cool this way-early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and if the last few days are any indication, the weather up here is returning to its normal mode of cool damp. We’re coming off the most-extended warming period I’ve experienced since moving up here more than six years ago. A feel for the future.…
High overcast this early Thursday morning on California’s north coast and from all indications we’ll continue our most-wonderful Indian summer today with warm temperatures fluttered in sunshine. Twelve years in a memory’s snap — a swift day’s ride into the sunset. Today, of course, is the day after Sept. 11. And that date will apparently never…
Crystal-clear, warm and beautiful this way-too-early Monday on California’s north coast, all this after a way-way-too quick weekend. Two days just ain’t enough time. This is the week that has to be for President Obama and his notched-gunsight on Syria — big TV interviews today with an enormous rally-for-war speech tomorrow. This is one proposition…
Finally — Friday! A little wispy-overcast this morning on California’s north coast as we prepare to handle the weekend — and we’re way-ready for a warm and sun-splashed two days. And it will be fairly serene, too. Not like this planet we inhabit. If the sniping, backtalk and phoney smiles at the G-20 summit in…
Clear and star-sprinkling skies this early Wednesday along California’s north coast — as the middle of the work week is here, so are thoughts of the week end. Yet two days to go. And this morning, the situation room on the Syrian chaos is getting crowded. The US, however, is pulling a George Jr. ploy…
Clear skies and a bit on the chilly side this way-early Tuesday on California’s north coast, a near-half moon posed directly overhead — unusual spectacle sans the fog and mist. And we’re forecast for another hot, sweltering day with temperatures in the high 60s and low 70s — heat storm, ha! Heat and fires the…
Yipee! It’s Friday! Overcast a little bit up here on California’s north coast, but we’re on the cusp of a weekend so the weather is just a prelude to joyful two days away from the public. And the public sucks — at least down the manhole of private affairs. President Obama’s vow of an “outside”…
Welcome to harsh-reality’s end of the week — Friday! Another day, another life — sweltering, near-unlivable conditions up here on California’s north coast: The U.S. National Weather Service reports that the temperature in Eureka reached a staggering (‘round these parts) 73°, edging out the previous record of 71° set way back in aught three of…
