War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Razor cuts the throat all the time — and all that jazz. Those highly-intelligent ‘sequester’ budget cuts are also striking the musical heart — up here on California’s north coast the US Air Force Band won’t be doing tooting its horns this year at the fabled Redwoods Coast Jazz Festival due to f*cked-up funding. Not only…
Outside this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, I can hear the wind picking up and a definite chill-factor rolling across the area — we’re suppose to catch a major winter storm today and tomorrow, but who’s to know. And weather 76 years ago apparently helped prepare the German dirigible, the Hindenburg, for a bad…
Wet and foggy this Saturday morning on Caliornia’s north coast. The thick mist makes for a quiet, almost-surreal silence. As if the world outside is at a standstill. Well, it ain’t. A scant few hours ago, President Obama signed the sequester order, thus, opening up a can of toxic worms, and this morning: “These cuts…
Drizzling rain through a thick ground fog — this early Friday weather along California’s northern coast as we begin the weekend outlook with a throat slashing. Today starts the infamous sequester — run for the hills! Or run somewhere. Due to incompetence and nasty indifference, the US Congress along with President Obama are letting the…
Middle of the week — ya-hoo! Unless it’s that Yahoo, and then it’s get thee to the office you lazy home workers! Clear and cold this morning — the moon slightly less-than-round — and the whole sky along California’s north coast has a full dose of white light outlying life in this land of the not-so-fast lane.…
Here we go again — another Monday morning here on California’s northern coast, facing a week ahead full of strange, wondrous and most-ugly shit from both inside and outside the noodle. High overcast with the near-full moon a puffer-ed, white eyeball staring through the clouds and occasionally winking, as in ‘wink, wink, nudge, nudge.’ Of…
Overcast, dark and gloomy this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, but not as cold as yesterday. No matter our weather, it ain’t nothing like the big storm getting ready to blanket Middle America with more than a foot of snow, and along with that, added into the mix will be lightning and sleet showers — whoa!…
Cloudy and overcast this Wednesday morning here along California’s northern coast, just a swipe away from all the nefarious shenanigans occurring all over the freakin’ place. Weather is not the absolute end being of life — then again…. In DC, there’s the end — most especially the offshoot of President Obama’s state-of-the-union speech last night, his…
Clear skies with stars twinkling this Tuesday morning along California’s north coast, and for some reason, the outside environment feels warmer than inside my apartment. Human skin and temperatures baffle the senses. Tonight is President Obama’s state-of-the-union, and all the pre-jazz on the speech seems to indicate an economical crock-a-shit, or how to spin away from…
Rain and warm this early Monday morning along California’s northern coast, encountering another apparent routine weather observation up here. It’s been wet lately, but with it has come the warm. This is winter — we can’t be choosy. Weather has been kind of odd a bit lately, but don’t know if it’s directly tied in…
