War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Bright with a stiff chilly wind this afternoon on California’s north coast — another day in the retired life. The ongoing science-reality, horror-saga of Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant continues, now approaching the fourth anniversary of its infamous earthquake/tsunami meltdown. And the situation still sucks, bad. (Illustration found here). Via Newsweek this afternoon: The operator…
Sunshine overshadowed by a few lumbering clouds this afternoon on California’s north coast — and chilly, too. A big, big twist lately in our ‘normal’ temperature for winter has been those ‘atmospheric rivers’ involved with rainstorms out of the southern Pacific — a warmth not found in our usual Alaskan-born systems. Warm is the new…
As the earth continues to warm, oceans especially, the higher temperatures create strange, sometimes horrible glitches in the system, the natural order of living is thrown out of whack — up here along Humboldt County’s shoreline, we’ve also seen the effects. Along with the “sea star wasting syndrome,” a disease attacking ‘star fish‘ in Pacific waters…
Thick overcast of deep gray this afternoon on California’s north coast — sunshine aplenty this morning, but quickly replaced first by a dense ground fog, which lifted a bit to form a dull, depressing sky. Another space rock encounter/near miss tonight: ‘A massive asteroid, roughly twice the size of the Rose Bowl stadium, will safely fly…
Bright and still this afternoon on California’s north coast, but there’s still a chill in the air. This morning, a symbolic-metaphoric event based on figured-reality — the fabled, iconic Doomsday Clock, created and maintained by the Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists since 1947 was moved two minutes closer to the also-iconic-but-frightful…
Dark and a sensation of cold this early Thursday on California’s north coast — although the NWS claims it’s warmer than yesterday morning, and the rest of today to be warmer still. Yet a chill to any ass are the dip-shits infested within that august body of Senators out yonder in DC — they voted…
Overcast this afternoon on California’s north coast, and maybe feels a bit warmer — just under 60 degrees right now, with ‘rain likely‘ later toward dark. No breeze hardly, which appears to add heat. A bit of environmental news this week, too, and mostly dealing also with a sense of heat — and banging the…
Sunny here mid-late-afternoon on California’s north coast — warm for awhile, opened windows for a time, too. Pleasant weather the last few days. This a post I actually started last week, but shoved aside, or maybe, let it be ‘trembled‘ aside — subject, “earthquake swarms.” Although I personally don’t like to see nefarious patterns like…
Rain again this Saturday morning on California’s north coast, with that sunshine scheduled for next Tuesday, already pushed back to Thursday, and today’s rainfall supposedly heavy at times, totals maybe an inch. Beyond the fractured ways of weather, narrative of the Sony hacking whatnot has developed some serious scenarios — this morning an odd bounce,…
Rain and gloomy-dark outside this early Friday on a small patch huddled near California’s north coast — getting close to a month now, of rain and gloomy-dark — more rain forecast for days to come, maybe some decent sun on Tuesday of next week. After a near-continuous drenching for awhile now — since July, San Francisco’s…
