War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear and cold this early Friday on California’s north coast with icy rain due sometime later today in a frigid start-up to the weekend. Cold here, cold everywhere, especially across Texas and most of the US Midwest — Dallas Home Depot Manager James McGilberry: “It’s almost like a Black Friday, but I guess we’ll call…
Clear and really, really cold this early Thursday on California’s north coast, and yesterday we had some record low temperatures, but still not as chilly as other parts of the Western US. For instance, Texas had one drastic weather swing: Wednesday’s official high in Dallas was 80. Thursday night brings freezing rain, sleet and a…
Way-bright sunshine chilled with a northerly wind this afternoon here on California’s north coast, as we hunker down for a hard-cold snap the next couple of days, temperatures forecast to dip to freezing and below, most-likely a side-effect off that big storm churning up north. Winter Storm Cleon — a “helter-skelter storm” already dumping 30…
Haze filled with rain blankets California’s north coast this Monday afternoon — light sprinkle it might appear at first feel, but this type precipitation is way-deceiving — it will soak you to-the-bone in seconds. And it’s a bit on the chilled-side, too. So the effect/affect is not altogether pleasant. In the news this PM, an…
Ground fog with a drizzling rain this way-early Monday on California’s north coast, and the end to round one of a not-so-fabulous holiday season. This year might be a crazy yuletide. Despite the expansion of Black Friday, and the swell of people in stores, the end result wasn’t so hot: Overall spending was expected to…
A sky full of bright sunshine blended with a mild breeze this afternoon on California’s north coast — even with a slight chill, it’s nice. And circulating high on the news cycle this PM appears to come from overseas — the crazy skirmish over some islands in the South China Sea continues to advance in…
High haze in the air this way-early Thursday on California’s north coast, a misty-fingernail of a moon is imprinted in the east on a dark background with few stars seen twinkling in the sky. Turkey Day it seems, or Thanksgiving to the historical clueless and dumb. The older I get the more I loath holidays…
High-wispy clouds with a semi-clear sky this early Wednesday on California’s north coast with the moon hanging like a chewed fingernail far to the east. The day before Turkey Day and all is quiet — except everywhere! Life with President Obama is anything but tranquil these days. He visited Hollywood yesterday, raising funds and touring the…
Crystal clear with bit of a chilled breeze this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast — not a wisp of a cloud in sight. Typical day for these parts, bright sunshine with a little bite to the air. Politics seems the front-burner news item — President Obama dashed again upon the rocks of public disfavor,…
Clear and cold this way-early Thursday on California’s north coast, and we can near-about see the weekend from here. Still not close enough, though, to reach out and touch. As the the UN climate talks in Warsaw, Poland, dribble to an end this week, the counter-balance to life as we know it may soon slam…
