War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Yesterday afternoon, restless and unpredictable after a worrisome nap, and after what seemingly was an inconceivable amount of time, I finally clicked on Eddie Murphy’s way-gone, way-lame 1980s, ‘Coming to America,’ via Netflix. Maybe near two decades since I’d seen it — the kids growing up watched a lot of movies, and I sat amongst…
High overcast and cold this Friday morning on California’s north coast, a bit windy, too. Despite a grueling week, it’s almost over and the sanity-belt of those 48 weekend hours lies not-quick-enough ahead. Health shit again last night, this morning — can’t sleep and it feels as if I’ve been up since Monday. An emotional…
Clear and cold this early Friday on California’s north coast with icy rain due sometime later today in a frigid start-up to the weekend. Cold here, cold everywhere, especially across Texas and most of the US Midwest — Dallas Home Depot Manager James McGilberry: “It’s almost like a Black Friday, but I guess we’ll call…
Sunshine and a cool breeze fills the afternoon here on California’s north coast — another work week gets its legs. News on a Monday is always on the slim side — that’s why back in the day, daily newspapers usually carried a big photo on A1 to fill the type gap — which even today,…
Another crystal-clear morning this Sunday on California’s north coast and if the immediate past is any indication, this could turn to be another wonderful, ‘warm‘ day — ‘warm‘ being way-relative. The mid-70s in temperature for us is a “heat wave.” Sunshine and toasty for us, but not so for a giant chunk of the southern…
Cold and clear this Sunday on California’s north coast, and we continue careening our way toward the holidays, whether we like it or not. Nature’s way, no big deal. Supposedly, us baby boomers credit the assassination of JFK as the milestone, the defining moment for our petulant lives, but in reality, and in an actual,…
A little afternoon news look-see. If I can get the physical moxie in the PM, this could be a regular feature, maybe. A news junkie from way back, I hit a lot online news sites at least twice a day — once way early, then just after I get off work in the early afternoon.…
Clear and bright-as-mirrored sunshine at dawn this Sunday morning on California’s north coast, but the brilliance was quickly replaced by a deep-gray as thick ground fog rolled in from the Pacific — if you don’t like the weather up here, just wait a minute. Coastal regions are like that, staying the same, but constantly changing.…
Skies up along California’s north coast this afternoon makes seeing anything celestial a bit dicey, not there’s any reason specifically, other than more space-rock news, and ‘one strange asteroid:’ The Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a six-tailed asteroid in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Scientists say they’ve never seen anything…
Early Sunday and falling back on time. Actually, I’m still an hour ahead, but at my leisure sometime this morning will set life right, clock-wise anyway. The laptop, though, is already set in reality. Day Savings Time is pretty ridiculous. And depending on where you live in the US, the overall affect/effect of DST is…
