War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Bright sunshine and near-clear skies this early Thursday on California’s north coast, reversing trends of early-morning gray. Beyond US politics, after a recent binge-watch of all four ‘Jurrasic Park‘ movies, I realized nuclear power plants should also carry that same ‘Park‘ warning — All’s cool, “Until something goes wrong…” Case in point, Japan’s Fukushima Diiachi…
Overcast again this near-noon Thursday on California’s north coast, today’s environment courtesy of a moist combo of low clouds and patchy fog — cool, but feels warmer than you’d figure. Forecast the same for a good-while; rain beyond a drizzle confined to the interior. Putting aside the horrific 2016 presidential race for a bit —…
Overcast with low clouds mingled with some ground fog this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast — supposedly, a low pressure system will move through the area starting maybe later today, and lasting through Monday, carrying at best, ‘light‘ rain. Odd refection — science and black humor… Technology can be way-dangerous, even a killer in…
(Illustration found here). In just a week, a bit of frightful climate news — maybe more frightful than usual. Starting off last Monday, the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) released its Status of the Climate Global Climate report, and the card looked real bad (via Climate News Network) — WMO secretary-general Petteri Taalas: “The future is…
Buried beneath continuous news awash with death, destruction, and The Donald, events in the oil industry are low-key, but financially catastrophic on many levels. Good nutshell-analysis at OilPrice.com: This downward spiral will lead to further credit downgrades and bankruptcies within the oil patch. All the while, access to credit is shrinking across all sectors due to…
Update/Add-on, interesting related thingy below Overcast with some wisps of sunshine this early Friday on California’s north coast as we finish the first week of a new year. The NWS this morning echoes the season: ‘Slight chance rain, then rain likely.’ Rinse, dry-off, and repeat… Nearly-plain as the weather — how does ‘intelligence‘ effect ‘sense‘ in…
Drizzling rain this noon Tuesday on California’s north coast as our now-normal ‘conveyor-belt’ storm fronts keeps the dull gray overcast drenched across the landscape. Winds are expected to get rowdy later on, the NWS issued a Wind Advisory this morning, calling for gusts at more than 50 mph sometime this evening, and of course, more…
‘Heavy rain‘ forecast for this early Friday on California’s north coast, and indeed, all morning on-and-off deluges –accordingly, we’ve already nearly two-inches in rainfall so far off this system. Nice to pluck weather information from the InterWebs — however, this week a shitload of local people, including some government agencies of Humboldt County, lost Internet…
Happiness is a metaphorical-philosophical endeavor — George Carlin nailed it: ‘More than happy. I bet you say that one. You say to somebody. “Oh, I’d be more than happy to do that.” How can you be more than happy? To me it sounds like a dangerous mental condition. We had to put Dave in the…
Rainy, windy and chilly this early Thursday on California’s north coast, as our ‘conveyor-belt’ storm-style continues seemingly unabated. And circulating in that warm, surging, El Niño-influenced Pacific Ocean — along with our weather elements — are radioactive shit still coming toward us off the Fukushima disaster.
