War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Once again without shame or remorse (well, there’s some contrition, but not much), we here at Compatible Creatures present our ongoing plea to lay down some coin for my novel, “Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona,” self-published a couple of years ago by Outskirts Press. The Amazon/Kindle page is here. My author’s page at Outskirts…
Sunshine and comfortable temperatures this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re closing another weekend as 2024 appears to be pounding ahead, it’s hard to believe we’re already nearly halfway through the year. Seems/feels like just this morning was Christmas. In contrast, today it appeared to be a rarity nowadays — a slow…
Bright sunshine and getting-warm temperatures just past the noon hour Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — the summer routine still playing out early in heat and color. In keeping with the subject line from yesterday’s post on my first encounter with the wondrous weed long, long ago and far, far away, Joe Biden this…
Today 50 years ago was also a Wednesday. In those days I was a senior at the University of Florida and was less than a month away from graduating. Although I had the GI Bill for financial assistance, during the last two years of college I worked part-time at the Sears, Roebuck store there in…
Sunshine and heavy warmth this early-evening Friday here in California’s Central Valley — maybe even the first unofficial day of summer as temps climb into the 90s and officially (for me) the start of T-shirt weather. Meanwhile, beyond the political horror of the T-Rump and in the shadow of the wonderful courtroom performance of Stormy…
Clear skies and super-bright sunshine this Tuesday late afternoon here in California’s Central Valley — despite the chilled-airish breezes all day (temps in the usually-warmish mid-70s), summer-like shit will supposedly take hold at the end of this week. We’re forecast to be in the 90s by Friday; unless the wind keeps its cool-down effect going,…
Ugly on a Friday — overcast this near noon in California’s Central Valley, yet nothing like the hideous goings-on back East. History’s real-time living sucks. In a for instance: T-Rump this morning being the piece-of-shit asshole with the horrible, shitty irony of being a total-creep of an unfaithful husband (Business Insider): It’s better than a…
Seventeen years ago this afternoon Compatible Creatures sprung forth out into the InterWebs. And later that evening in April 2007, my first post — aptly entitled, ‘Word‘ — was published, and from then henceforth life hasn’t been the same. The first-ever post was wordly-short and notedly on point: In an age where events are known…
I’d never seen this photo from June 2018 — I was then being prepared for surgery and wasn’t too much into scrolling the InterWebs. This the lede from The Hill piece on the pix: ‘Comedian Kathy Griffin and adult-film actress Stormy Daniels posed together in a photo this week raising a middle finger to President…
Terrifying shit for a noonish Friday — news dump literally. A couple of items off the T-Rump’s fourth day in New York on that ‘hush money‘/financial campaign-fraud case, one a terrifying outside-the-courtroom incident: Strange, more-than-meets-the-eye news clip. Some muted details: Eyewitness News talked to a witness who said the man was holding papers in Collect…
