War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Bright sunshine, coupled with what I’d call a chilly wind, and we’re having another fine, clear afternoon up here on California’s north coast — this particular one code-named Black Friday. An example of loony-gullible and horrific life in the nowadays. Although top of the news cycle this PM tends to be of the ridiculous —…
A mixture of clouds and fog create “haze” this afternoon on California’s north coast, with sunshine every-once-in-a-while appearing through the dull. A bit on the cool side, but not unpleasantly so. News hounds are barking in a whisper this PM, though, there’s a hostage situation still on-going down in Inglewood, south of LA, two police were…
High-wispy clouds with a semi-clear sky this early Wednesday on California’s north coast with the moon hanging like a chewed fingernail far to the east. The day before Turkey Day and all is quiet — except everywhere! Life with President Obama is anything but tranquil these days. He visited Hollywood yesterday, raising funds and touring the…
Overcast and warm this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — looks like it might rain, but that’s just near-natural. Clouds, but no rain in the forecast — typical for up here. News movement in the PM is much-about the same as this morning, though, one item appears to be gaining momentum — the bewildering…
Clear and gorgeous this Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast — a perfect view for satellite-tracking by the NSA. If they wanted, or had some kind of motive. A motive for the fictional ‘Enemy of the State,” the Will Smith movie from 1998, was the assassination of a US Senator caught on video tape —…
Crystal-clear again this afternoon on California’s north coast — and way-warm! A unbelievable 70.3 degrees right now with just a hint of a breeze. A kind of unusual day for up here, due mainly to the absence of wind, as the high earlier I guess hit 72. Tropical almost for the Lost Coast. And not…
Clear and cold again this Friday morning on California’s north coast as we prepare for the weekend — temperature right now is just a tad above freezing. Outlook for the next few days appears the same, nothing new. And today, of course, is the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination in Dallas. Fifty is one…
(Illustration: Vincent van Gogh’s ‘The State Lottery Office’ found here). Yesterday, just before I was about to leave work — I manage a liquor store — this clueless dip-shit comes in and upsets the whole fucking day. He does nothing via the store but play the lottery, which within the financial reality of business, is…
Raining and cold this way-too-early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and the weather continues to match the season — up here, this state of the atmosphere is pretty normal, except with the equinox of crazy. Nuts like the NSA — Google security engineer Brandon Downey didn’t mix words: “Fuck these guys.” Even as the US…
Cold and windy this Monday afternoon, and though we’re forecast for rain to arrive anytime now, the weather-ambiance this near the coast leaves calling the shots up in the air — thunderstorms are predicted for tomorrow. Life is a wait-and-see routine sometimes. Technology’s storm sight is Instagram: @shanahan7, Tazewell County, Ill. The house… Damn :/…
