War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration: MC Escher’s engraving, ‘Old Oliver Tree,’ found here. Cold and dark this Thursday evening on California’s north coast — there was passing faded-yellow sunshine during late morning, early afternoon today, then later on, occasional bursts of bright between dark-gray clouds onward to right now. Rain expected tomorrow. And tomorrow being Friday, maybe another crazy…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Weeping Woman,’ found here). Near-about all sunshine and seemingly much warmer this Wednesday late-afternoon here on California’s north coast, and once again the Ma-le’l Dunes were a wonder — sort of like walking on the moon, but not at all. The State of the Union last night by the T-Rump was dark…
(Illustration: ‘Pinocchio,’ by Enrico Mazzanti (1852-1910), found here). Quietly wet this Sunday evening on California’s north coast — rain-showers and clouds all day, and although maybe a little undramatic, getting soaked is still no fun. Some real-foul weather though, down in the LA area, and along the Central Coast with heavy rain, mudslides and wind. Weathering…
(Illustration: Vincent van Gogh’s ‘Old Man in Sorrow (On the Threshold of Eternity)‘ found here). One wonders in heartbreak if the T-Rump could somehow be driven from office before 2020, or resign because legal shit got so deep, he’d be forced to go, or risk jail. Despite the obvious, an op/ed at Bloomberg yesterday noted the…
(Illustration: ‘President Trump,’ by Jonathan Bass, found here). An outstanding Thursday here on California’s north coast, bright, warm sunshine and clear skies for just about all day, and now in early evening, a bit of the winter chill, but nice outside. Rain still forecast for tomorrow, and accordingly drizzle/showers/rain through the middle of next week.…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Agonizing Horse,’ found here). A gray-white overcast and chilled sky this late Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast, the dark approaches. Fairly-deep fog this morning when I walked the dogs (or the dogs walked me) out on the Ma-le’l Dunes, the southern unit, and it was more-than-nice; the dogs loved it —…
(Illustration: Donald Trump, ‘Basic Shapes,‘ by caricaturist/illustrator Chong Jit Leong, found here). Cloudy and a bit chilly this Monday evening on California’s north coast, dark and overcast all day, though, some faded-weak sunshine appeared later in the afternoon, and more sun forecast for tomorrow — decent rain storm scheduled to start on Friday, supposedly lasting…
(Illustration: Salvador Dali’s ‘Hell Canto 2: Giants,’ found here). Overcast and foggy this Wednesday evening on California’s north coast, forecasters claimed maybe some drizzle, too, but none yet. In a short little time frame, we did get some sunshine in mid-afternoon, but the bright spell didn’t last long. Pretty cold, though… Another aspect of cold is…
Cold and bright this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast with lots of sunshine, but chilled-out temperatures — high supposedly just 51 and down close to freezing temperatures last night, and probably again tonight. No rain forecast until a week from tomorrow… Way-way ahead of its time — sadly ‘only‘ two years ago: Some old near-forgotten…
(Illustration: ‘President Trump,’ by Jonathan Bass, found here). Rainy and chilly this Saturday evening here on California’s north coast — forecast calls for sunshine and warmth starting Monday, maybe lasting a week to 10 days.. Getting so I’m not happy with rain day-after-day… Weathering the T-Rump is a bumpy ride, and it’s always raining some…
