War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
High clouds and a bit chilly again this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, the final day of the year and the last we’ll see of them days. A whole-lot of shit will continue, though, and it’s all ugly. And Snoopy from Peanuts lays down the reality: “So this is the last day of the…
.An icon of American motor sports, Andy Granatelli died yesterday at age 90. A generation ago he was at the heart of US folklore — STP stickers seemed everywhere, with Granatelli becoming a household name. A long time ago, it seems, and in another world. I was enormously-enchanted by auto racing while in my 20s,…
High overcast and quiet this early Friday on California’s north coast as we come to the end of week one in the end-of-the-year blow-fest, and we await the coming of 2014. Right now, we’re at a balmy 46 degrees, hopefully working our way up to the low 60s some time later. And did I mention…
Crystal-clear and cold this Thursday morning here on California’s north coast — did the same thing yesterday, but deep-coverage fog right before sunrise warmed things up a bit. Despite the tranquil weather sense here on the Left Coast, winter storms are still pillaging some parts of the US, especially in New England where 24,000 people…
Clear sunshine and warm this afternoon, though, not as nice as yesterday, but of course, yesterday’s gone — the sun is right now slipping down upon the Pacific up here along California’s north coast and shadows linger. We’re in the mid-50s range at present and apparently tipped 60 degrees sometime this afternoon. Warm after the…
Clear with bright sunshine and much-warmer temperatures this afternoon on California’s north coast, the best day we’ve had in a while. We’re at 53 degrees right now, with a high earlier of 59 — rain is expected by Wednesday, but who really knows? Early this morning a shitty episode — some asshole pilfered the radio…
Clear and not-so-cold this afternoon on California’s north coast — some high cloud haze dulls the sunshine every-now-and-then, but still nice outside. Far, far away, winter weather harshly walloped Jerusalem and a big chunk of the Middle East: “We are battling a storm of rare ferocity,” Mayor Nir Barkat said as snow in the Holy…
Cloudy-gray skies mostly this afternoon on California’s north coast, though, on occasion a splash of sunshine. Still cold at 49 degrees with a supposed-chance of rain tonight. On a warmer note, we’re forecast to be back in the 60s by Sunday. An oversea story perked my interest amongst the skewed-news this PM, one from the…
Cloudless skies this afternoon on California’s north coast and abundant sunshine — but still a bit cold, but nothing like the past few days. We’re at about 53 degrees right now with a low tonight forecast to be well-above freezing. Enough weather, already. In the precarious events-cycle this PM, a quick surf indicates a semi-slow…
Cold and clear this afternoon on California’s north coast — warm in the sun, but cold-as-shit in the shade. Among the continuing-contentious news cycle this PM, was this study on bad-news coverage: More exposure to coverage seems to be connected to more stress. The study authors suggested that doctors, government officials and the media be aware…
