War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Way-bright sunshine this afternoon, and way-warm, too, at least here on this little spot of California’s north coast. Already the smut from a newly-up-chucked US Senate — from Fox News: ‘The Republican wave Tuesday could bring a gusher of oil down from Canada, as GOP gains in the Senate appeared to give backers of the…
High fluffy clouds, bright sunshine this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast, and nearly no wind — gorgeous. Windows open, back sliding-glass door shoved open to its stop. Around here, weather shifts in a snap-second, as just a bit earlier we’d had heavy, dark clouds, and a drizzle. Odd, though, hardly no breeze at all.…
Raining and a bit windy this early Monday here on California’s north coast — good spitter-spatter last night and through this morning, totals could be half-an-inch, maybe. We’re forecast a wet stretch for at least a week. Seems the rainy season has gotten off to a slower start that last year — according to the…
Clear with just a wisp of clouds here this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — big thunderous-looking clouds floating just in sight eastward, though, back over the mountains, but the view west, Pacific-Ocean way, looking nice. The NWS has forecast “showers” the next couple of days, ‘scattered‘ right now, ‘isolated‘ tonight, ‘slight chance‘ tomorrow,…
Fog still hanging early Wednesday afternoon here on California’s north coast — another autumn sequence on the road to wintertime. And with the fog, there was no “blood moon” for us this pre-dawn morning — not so elsewhere, depending on location, the phenomenon was “very spectacular.” But online, the choice location: Except on the Internet,…
Clear with just a bit of haze this early Friday on California’s north coast — and chilly as always with morning sunshine. The storm just past dumped a whopper of rain on Eureka, just a few miles south of where I’m located, with more than two-and-a-half inches on Wednesday — a record for the date,…
Rain in the gutters this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — NWS reports ‘Heavy Rain’ today with three-quarters to one inch expected. After just waking up sometime this morning between one and two o’clock, I was sing-songed back to sleep just at the rainstorm’s arrival — an orchestrated musical, lightly starting with a single, soft…
Overcast still, but no rain showers, though, dark as shit in the early afternoon. Modern life sometimes appears asshole-contradictory — Cheetah this: A study found that the violence displayed by chimpanzees was not caused by human disturbances, but rather the behavior is innate to the species. We don’t corrupt everything on this planet, just mostly…
Overcast and a bit on the gloomy side this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, no fog but a deep, empty silence. Usually I can hear the Pacific Ocean making some kind of noise only a mile or so away, but this morning all is quiet. The news cycle ain’t at all. Apparently from all…
Thick ground fog and a deep quiet this early Tuesday on California’s north coast in a typical weather scenario for the area — misty wet until about noon, then sunshine. And in the mid-60s, which is nearly 20 degrees cooler than just a few, scant miles inland. Worse piece of shit: “That ought to be…
