War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Ominously well-warm near-mid-day Friday here in California’s Central Valley. We’re much-too-quickly working our way into a new year with summer just around the hot-as-shit corner. Once in a while, you come across something that epitomizes sorry-ass rich people. Published now nearly a month ago, I only just saw it this morning at the great Miss…
Another warm day here in California’s Central Valley, any distinction between just ‘warm‘ and ‘hot‘ swiftly fading from our daily weather. Summer in these parts is grossly livable — we experience way-too-few weeks of the somewhat ‘cool‘ days of spring, then seemingly way-quickly months of furnace-like brightness, accelerating from April to May leading to the…
Approaching early-evening Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, and although it was another warmish, bright day, this kind of weather is too early it seems, which badly bodes for a heavy-hot year ahead. Beautiful right now, but triple-digit temperatures are only a few short weeks away — way-too soon. In the surfing InterWeb news sites,…
One of the massive problems facing the political airwaves as we approach this coming November ballot box — liars have their own cable-news network. And like the T-Rump, just don’t give a shit: Rupar is way-great at observing/watching Fox News — glutton for punishment or something — and his newsletter covers the horror the operation…
Bright sunshine, warm temperatures this mid-day Monday here in California’s Central Valley — another work week twitches to life again with various insane scenarios. A way-enormous insane crack in the sense of America nowadays are Republicans — tweet of the day … so far: Last Friday, in the aftermath of the Republican National Committee vote…
Instead of political bullshit — surfed the InterWebs this afternoon/early evening, but nothing odd or significant to catch the eye — I instead listened to the main title of one of my way-most-favorite movies, “Lawrence of Arabia,” with the music by the great Maurice Jarre. The scene of the film opening and bits of the…
(Illustration: Graph per NASA/JPL-Caltech, and found here). Bright sunshine and warming temps this near-mid-day Sunday here in California’s Central Valley, another beauty seemingly ahead of its time. The state has been in a perpetual cycle of an aggravating ‘weather/climate whiplash,’ which creates early summer and won’t go away. This morning a climate-change post with a…
Even as the T-Rump makes open admissions of overturning the last election, and as democracy dangles in the balance, the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot — “…the mother of all investigations and a quantum leap for Congress…” — is actually plowing the legal field: “It’s not a criminal investigation, but having experienced…
Thinly overcast this near-mid-day Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — a weather ambiance of just short of fog and leaning weakly toward muted, faded sunshine. Among the festered news today, a nod toward good use of a word game that’s apparently captured the intellects of a shitload of people — the web-based word game,…
After a week — I’m back! First real post in seven days. During this time I went through a final edit of my first novel I’m self-publishing — read about the whole project here, and the post from last Saturday here. Updates on the matter as they become available. And the news cycle didn’t take…
