War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Goodly-bit of rain this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, a hefty downpour in the morning darkness. This system has been a wet one. The NWS has forecast ‘mostly sunny‘ for tomorrow, though, and Thursday, then ‘partly sunny‘ on Friday, with more rain slated for the weekend. Surfing the news reveals nothing really new, other…
Dark-gray with sometimes heavy rain this afternoon on California’s north coast — into the great wetness. An item I spotted earlier of a mega-rare, anywhere-near humorous story coming out of the nightmare war zone of the Middle East was this at International Business Times from Tuesday: An Egyptian man has reportedly delivered a financial blow to…
Bright with extreme-sunshine this early Friday along California’s north coast. Some high, wispy clouds, but otherwise clear-as-a-blue-bottom-bell. We’re in what we’d all consider as a ‘heat wave,’ temperatures this week have progressively gotten warmer, mid-to-high 60s today, maybe up into the mid-70s by Sunday. Supposedly then, another week of similar weather, not quite as warm,…
Rain and dark this early Friday on California’s north coast — according to NWS prelim totals we’ve gotten more than an inch of the wetness already, and all less than 24 hours into this new weather front. Feels a little warmer than yesterday. This morning, however, an odd, sense of copy-cat crazy with a violent…
Still dark-thirty this Friday morning on California’s north coast, with high, thin clouds giving the bulged half-moon a fuzzy, sleepy, one-eyed appearance — still carrying a chill, though, with a high expected in the mid-50s. Odd, crude shape of the world — there’s an international, second-by-second hostage situation right now in Paris (via USAToday): ‘The…
A chill in the air this early Thursday on California’s north coast, way-cooler than yesterday, though we’re forecast to maybe reach the high 60s. Seemingly, the whole world has become enveloped in a deep, weird, and vicious chill. Beyond a big chunk of the US bitch-slapped today with bitter, “dangerously cold air” the real unpleasant feeling…
Cold and clear, and tons of sunshine this early Saturday on California’s north coast — supposed to be sunny through next week. Wait-and-see, of course. Another story I’d seen a few days ago, and just now comes back to mind — the think-tank RAND Corporation just published its “Blinders, Blunders, and Wars: What America and…
Clear, clean sunshine this Friday morning on California’s north coast — not a cloud in sight, and frost on nearby rooftops, first time this year, I recollect. Thirty-three degrees reportedly within the hour right now, and there’s appearance of some wispy ground in nearby trees — of what can spied from a small back patio…
Ground fog this way-early Tuesday here on California’s north coast — flashback yesterday afternoon and right now with the appearance of the thick mist low-to-the-road. Usually a summer, spring thing. The NWS is calling it ‘patchy fog’ this morning, a seeming truism, on smoke breaks on the back patio, a star or two can be…
Stars and a mist-shrouded moon, looking like a nicely-trimmed toenail, hanging above a little section of California’s north coast, and here early Tuesday, another day in the life. In-and-out of the crazy-weird world of journalism nearly 40 years, plus as a writer, I’ve easily become a way-more-than-an-enthusiast for current events, especially in this techno-peculiar age…
