War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sunny and mild this near-noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — and considering it’s still summer, use of the descriptive word ‘mild,’ is weather-wise saying a lot. As for instance, Hurricane Idalia’s cruise through Florida and onto into Georgia and the Carolinas — although a massive hit, circumstances proved to be a ‘dodged-a-bullet’ scenario…
Warm, but not unpleasant this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — we continue to slide into fall weather at a nice, not-boiling-hot pace. Yet in this ambiance, the shit still rises to the top — rumor there’s a roomer in your loony bin: A guy with really, really major problems inserted into a…
Sunny and mildly hot this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley. And today, too, the death of the iconic Bob Barker at 99. In truth, I hadn’t thought about him for years and years, yet was even surprised he had been alive all this time. Yet he was a part of our weekday history…
Nice and sunny this late afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — weather-wise a most-pleasant way to end the work week. Unpleasant, however, is this ugly, nefarious mug that has washed across the InterWebs today: (Image found here.) In US history there’s never been a president like the T-Rump’s time in office, and there’s…
Hot and still this near-noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, and once again bright, glaring sunshine to melt the air before it even touches your skin — a bit overboard, but close enough. Across the InterWebs this morning plenty of recaps on the Republican presidential debate last night — I didn’t watch, and I…
Extra warm, humid air made so by heavy, hot sunshine this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — another day in the life. Also, it was another abnormal day in the life back in Atlanta, Ga., as a wad of the 19 defendants in the T-Rump election tampering case turned themselves in to authorities…
Sunshine and warm this early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — we received near-about nothing off Hilary’s wrath, and like I mentioned yesterday, most of the heavy rain and deep-seated flooding struck south and east of us. We dodged a catastrophic-weather bullet this time around, but there’s no rejoicing because there’s way-more where that…
Scattered clouds with occasional shivers of sunshine this near-noon hour Monday here in California’s Central Valley –we’re still dry and still awaiting rain from off Hilary, though, it apparently seems the blunt of the tropical storm’s presence is being felt to the south and east. We’re forecast for rain this afternoon, but it’s not supposed…
Today is one for the books — as a rare and dangerous weather event unfolded this weekend, creating the scenario where ‘Tens of millions of people are under a tropical storm warning, the first of its kind to hit Southern California in 84 years,’ along pops a longtime natural staple for the state, an earthquake,…
Overcast and humid this near-noon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re awaiting the impact from former Hurricane Hillary, now categorized a tropical storm, in the maybe form of rain and wind. Although the biggest Hilary splash will be south and east of us (southern Cal, and Nevada), there’s an unknown mystery to all…
