War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Some sense of a feeling. So far, this particular year has been another case of the ‘fours.’ Apparently, from what I can gather from within myself as I age (76 next month), the years of my life ending in ‘4‘ have had some special, striking significance — except 1954, as I was too young to…
Clear skies and on the coolish-side temperatures — comparatively speaking — here a bit after the noon hour Friday in California’s Central Valley as for the first time in a shitload of space we’re under 90 degrees as a high today, shaping up for finally a full onslaught of the fall season. Weather shifts are…
Clear, bright skies full of sunshine shortly after the noon hour Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley as summer days in the fall are maybe slacking off a bit as we make it into a real, actual autumn. Supposedly under triple-digit temperatures today (for the first time in a goodly while) and a reported drop…
Another summer-day heated attempt in October this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — a big difference in the warmth index, though, is simple: It’s autumn! Add an index of simplicity, too, with great economic news this morning with a robust jobs report, giving a bounce to Kamala Harris and an elbow in the…
Although a bit warm for this late in September, still near-picture-perfect out-of-doors this late afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley. Meanwhile, the out-of-doors elsewhere sucks like shit: ‘Bob Van Dillen, a meteorologist for Fox Weather, rescued a woman live on air while reporting from flooded Atlanta. ”I heard this lady screaming for help in…
Saturday evening in California’s Central Valley — shit doesn’t have a weekend off in our nowadays. Some news-angled tidbits: Kamala Harris is ready for a second debate with the T-Rump (NBC News): Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign on Saturday said it would accept an invitation to participate in a second debate with former President Donald…
Gray skies with a hint of blue now and then this late afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley—an environment that supplies an occasional burst of bright sunshine that quickly fades—make for a snap, shadow-dark flicker to the light, fluttering like an old black-and-white movie. The overcast might be our first seasonal encounter with our…
Giant, white-fluffy clouds with expansive gaps of clear-blue skies allow a shitload of bright sunshine this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — temps in a mild mid-70s range as our early-fall weather continues its run. After a summer considered the hottest ever for the state (and maybe the world), a joyous relief. News…
In honor of the horrifying memory from 23 years ago. However, outlandish unabashed asshole seeps in from last night’s debate disaster (h/t image via Digby): A somewhat perfect picture of the T-Rump, uninterested in the solemn remembrance of those killed in the Sept.11, 2001, attacks against the Twin Towers, the beginning of a horror run…
Finally, autumn is in the air this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — temps in the mid-70s, clear-blue skies, bringing on sweater weather at last! Although I only watched the first 15 minutes or so live of the debate last night between Kamala Harris and the T-Rump, the game was on from the…
