War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Last night, in a town hall meeting in New Hampshire, The Donald was faced by this statement-question off a guy from the audience (via NPR): ‘“We have a problem in this country. It’s called Muslims. We know our current president is one…”‘ The Donald hacked all around the question about Obama, stringing off into serious-sounding…
Actual, real rain this early Wednesday, splashing across California’s north coast, and not just here, but this is a supposedly-goodly storm for northern California, bringing some way-needed wet. Rainfall totals along the shoreline are hard to judge, but from weather maps, the wet looks real-wet for all of the region, and some strong winds, maybe…
Amongst the storied, see-saw career of John McCain, his way-most-likely worst moment was hoisting Sarah Palin upon America. In the last nearly-eight years, Palin could be considered the source-epitome of bat-shit crazy in modern life, especially oratory aimed at rational thought. Last weekend, she tried to tap herself into the future presidency of The Donald,…
Sunshine and warm this Sunday morning along California’s north coast. Weather’s good, but the problem’s the mighty Pacific — according to the NWS, turbulent shoreline waters: ‘Surprising periods of larger sets of waves.’ Speaking of surprises — this morning, Fox News’ Chris Wallace knocked Dick Cheney off the fantasy cat-bird-seat: ‘“So in fairness, didn’t you leave…
Fat clouds and some faded sunshine this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast — forecast, though, is for the next couple of weeks to be fairly-nice with the NWS predicting sunny, or ‘mostly‘ sunny days. Feels humid and a bit on the gloomy side right now. Seemingly, gloomy all over — via UPI on Monday:…
Sunshine and windy this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — supposedly, a prospect of rain tonight, but as the NWS notes, a ‘Slight Chance‘ in the making. Reportedly, and thankfully, the various forest fires burning in northern California has decreased, with just a few of them still keeping fire fighters busy — a good…
Another thick, gray episode this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast — no direct sunshine at all so far, and apparently none is coming. The marine layer is holding, and along with carrying a lot of moisture, seems stationary. Earlier this morning, if you didn’t know better, it really looked like we’d had some rain…
Sunshine and warmth this nearly-noon Friday on California’s north coast, another work week gone, the weekend ahead. A fairly-brisk ocean breeze, however, keeps us from actually reaching any stage of ‘hot.’ ‘Calefaction‘ in American politics nowadays resembles Pablo Picasso’s ‘Harlequin Head,’ shown at right (and found here), especially the commentary-background for the artist with the art,…
Orange sunshine this early Friday on California’s north coast with more fog/smoke skies that have become commonplace the last few weeks, considered ‘haze, for lack of a better term. All those forest fires blazing through the interior have created surreal cloud cover with ‘orange’ sunshine slicing through on occasion — and adding to the comfort…
Near-noon this Thursday with another one of those hallucinogenic cloud covers — a bit of marine fog, and maybe a whole-lot of drifting smoke, creating a surreal ambiance. Nearly-pure jaundice look to the weak-as-shit sunshine, whenever it appears. A good round-up for right now on the forest fires burning east, south and beyond us can…
