War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Cool, clear, and sunshine-sweet this near-noon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — a wondrous respite from the ‘heat dome‘ influence of the last couple of days, but it’s reportedly only a short spell as we’re forecast to be back into triple-digit temp territory come Tuesday. Similarly, in defiance of the horror of modern life…
Clear, bright, and hot as shit already just past the noon hour Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re under an intense triple-digit-heat advisory for the next couple of days; then a ‘cooling‘ span over the weekend (temps ‘only‘ in the high 90s), followed with an abrupt return to 100-plus warmth for early next week.…
Bright sunshine in hot air just past the noon hour Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — we were hoping to make it to Wednesday before the heat set in this week, but no way. Temps are at triple digits for already today, and not a stir-wisp of a breeze either. Weather the heat with…
Heavy-weighed warmth despite a semi-overcast sky this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley with clear-yellow sunshine occasionally brightening the landscape, though, the tone is more muted than actually considered anywhere near hot. A gentle, soft breeze that’s been swirling around all day long has kept the edge off those temperatures. An edge reportedly to…
Surprised the shit out of me! And to come this fast — I didn’t expect a verdict this quick, maybe tomorrow or Saturday at best. But shit: Big news — the InterWebs are wild (via The Washington Post): ‘Donald Trump has been convicted on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Trump, who was…
Bright sunshine and warmish temperatures this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley. Scrolling through the cycle just a bit ago, I eyed a piece of shit news that although true to form, seemed to touch the sharp edge of reality and the ‘alternative facts‘ colored life of the T-Rump-rolled nowadays. Apparently, he soulfully should…
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…
