War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear and a little chilly this way-early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and hopefully we’ll have another gorgeous day like Monday. Yesterday afternoon I worked on my truck in shirtsleeves — no sweatshirt, jacket or anything — this as good as it gets weather-wise up here. No matter the season. Seemingly, the story today is…
Clear with bright sunshine and much-warmer temperatures this afternoon on California’s north coast, the best day we’ve had in a while. We’re at 53 degrees right now, with a high earlier of 59 — rain is expected by Wednesday, but who really knows? Early this morning a shitty episode — some asshole pilfered the radio…
Cold and clear this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast as we wheedle our way through this work week — we’re just under freezing right now, but hope to make at least a 50-degree high later today. Just weathering the weather before winter. We had a power outage yesterday afternoon, so I wasn’t able to…
Clear and gorgeous this Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast — a perfect view for satellite-tracking by the NSA. If they wanted, or had some kind of motive. A motive for the fictional ‘Enemy of the State,” the Will Smith movie from 1998, was the assassination of a US Senator caught on video tape —…
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…
Cold and overcast this Wednesday afternoon — the north coast of California gray with an occasional dull-sparkle of sunshine. Not too-bad a day, though. News-wise, a pretty mundane day, at least on the crisis side — not in perpetual nightmare that’s Iraq nowadays, however, as at least 66 people were killed across Baghdad and the country.…
Raining and cold this way-too-early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and the weather continues to match the season — up here, this state of the atmosphere is pretty normal, except with the equinox of crazy. Nuts like the NSA — Google security engineer Brandon Downey didn’t mix words: “Fuck these guys.” Even as the US…
Raining this early Tuesday on California’s north coast and the world looks a bit gray in the darkness. Daylight won’t help. Beyond typhoons, gun violence or torching a doobie at the MTV awards, the planet continues to be under a deep-throated surveillance by our betters at the NSA. Despite the spotlight, they’re still operating full-gallop.…
Skies up along California’s north coast this afternoon makes seeing anything celestial a bit dicey, not there’s any reason specifically, other than more space-rock news, and ‘one strange asteroid:’ The Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a six-tailed asteroid in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Scientists say they’ve never seen anything…
A faint rain drizzle earlier with near-balmy temperatures for the north coast of California this Thursday afternoon — altogether not unpleasant — but far, far to the west, mega-badass Super Typhoon Haiyan has clobbered the Philippine island of Samar, about 330 miles east of Manila. Supposedly, Haiyan made landfall with winds up to 195 mph,…
