War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Bright sunshine just starting to break the gray this Sunday morning on California’s north coast — dark, heavy-clouded and gloomy a little earlier, but typical for us up here, the scene/sense of the weather can quickly change. Life on the ocean shore is predictably unpredictable. So’s life everywhere — the news cycle has become a…
(Illustration found here). One of the most-haunting and ultra-sad images of Iraq is the photo above of a child fleeing with others from Barsa, southern Iraq, in March 2003 — now 11 years later, is that little girl now a teen-ager, or is she dead? And speak of a life full of torment and horror,…
Clear and a tad on the warm side this early Tuesday on California’s north coast with another sunny and “hot” day scheduled for us — of course, the word, “hot,” being relative. We get warm real, real easy here on the shore. War in itself is horror personified, but yesterday something even worse, as five…
High overcast and cool this early Monday on California’s north coast — time is a speeding asshole because it feels in reality like it should still be Friday afternoon. Reality in this crazed age is relative — depends on the mood. The resignation of VA chief, Eric Shinseki, last week is but a residue from…
Clear and chilly this Thursday morning here on California’s north coast as we attempt to make through tomorrow — and the glorious two-day holiday! A short work week can be tougher than it looks. A lot of folks open their mouth and shit comes out, but for US Secretary of State John Kerry in remarks…
Overcast this early Tuesday on California’s north coast with rain pretty hard at times, but mostly just drizzle as the work week progresses on down the daily line.

In 1960, we Americans figured our shit didn’t stink. Mainly and just-about all due to our elders telling us so, inbred…
High overcast and calm this early Friday on California’s north coast — the sky placid and easy. Weather around here the last few days has been incredible with tons of sunshine and warm breezes, spring has forecast its arrival — maybe. Meanwhile, back east in the DC shithole of government, a crisis is brewing on…
Overcast and warm this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we prepare for a couple of major rainstorms about to sock us here on the west coast. Although most of the real-heavy wet is expected to strike in the southern part of the state, the northern coast is still expected to get about an…
Heavy ground fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, which in turn makes the moist air a little-bit warmer — meanwhile, on the eastern US seaboard today winter keeps on keeping on with storms to drop near a foot of snow. In all the shit going-down nowadays, this a really-good, feel-good story: “I went over…
