War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Thick ground fog this early Friday on California’s north coast, and way-quiet, too — only a faint rumble from the Pacific Ocean just more than a mile away. And we’re on the cusp of another weekend, already! I guess Americans are letting loose with a sigh of relief after 16 days of political chaos from…
Sparkling starlight this way-early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and a bit on the chilly side, too. We’ve been forecast for some frost in the internal valleys this morning, but out here next to the Pacific Ocean, it’ll be cool but way-pleasant. And as the incompetent, self-serving assholes in DC continue attempts to destroy what’s…
Crystal clear once again this way-too-early Tuesday here on California’s north coast as we shrink into day eight of the infamous, batshit crazy US government shutdown. And the feedback on the GOP has been what one would expect from stupid — last night, Megyn Kelly at Fox opened her new primetime show with guest Ted…
Despite all my efforts, it’s Monday again. Rain and wind up here this early morning on California’s north coast, but the storms that have plagued the US upper Pacific coast appears to be fading pretty fast. Clear skies and joyous sunshine a-coming! Wrong — CNN poll: “…58 percent say congressional Democrats are acting like spoiled…
Rain and more rain this early Sunday along California’s north coast, all part of a giant and nasty storm system now slapping hard at the US Pacific Northwest. Sucking up water from former Typhoon Pabuk’s moisture, the storm stalled over the Gulf of Alaska in order to build power and then swept into Washington and Oregon…
The illustration above came via The Big Picture and can be originally found here. And the source was Mother Jones — from a study now two years old! The trend appeared to be no coincidence in light of the proliferation of guns and looser gun laws nationwide. One leading criminologist took issue with our criteria, arguing that…
Under the news layers, another slice of possible horror from the never-ending terror-tale of the Fukushima nuclear plant — this time the possible extraction of 1300 spent fuel rods from Unit 4: Conditions in the unit 4 pool, 100 feet from the ground, are perilous, and if any two of the rods touch it could cause…
Overcast and damp this Thursday morning on California’s north coast as we cruise on toward the weekend — now closer than it was yesterday! And yesterday’s gone — a loss of history, boxer Ken Norton, great of the 1970s and the only guy on earth who broke Ali’s jaw, has died at age 70. Norton was…
Drizzling rain this way-early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and the weather matches the mood. Horror once again yesterday via another gun massacre at DC’s Washington Navy Yard — 12 dead and eight wounded. And not a motive in gun-sight, beyond some guy armed to the teeth and pissed about something. The nightmare shits: The…
Rain lightly-spattered windows this early Sunday on California’s north coast, but now a couple hours later, outside is just foggy and wet — an observation made from the confines of my back patio, of course. According to local weather forecasts, we’ve still got about a 30 percent chance of more rain today, then back next…
