War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
As we await the weekend and close out another crazy-ass work week, here’s a normal, yet abnormal item (due to climate change), reflecting on nature’s annual flower show in DC. Yet this is better than shit news concerning our situation surmounting everything, everywhere, all at once; consider it a respite to the nowadays. Instead, peak…
Overcast with occasional rain showers this near-noon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley with all the moisture buffered by some heavy winds blowing through the trees, making more frightful noises beyond the weather-minded environment. This season has been the shits. Currently, we’re feeling the thrust of the 12th ‘atmospheric river’ to have stormed the state…
Overcast and warm this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley as we wait for the next ‘atmospheric river’ due tonight or Tuesday sometime. Although forecast to not be a massive gully-washer, there will still be flooding and rainfall galore. My area is predicted to catch three-quarters-to-an-inch of wet stuff. Weathering the weather is the…
No rain but thickly gray clouds made more ominous by some sharp, high-velocity winds, all overcasting this late afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley as we reach maybe a lull in the latest storm system which plowed through our area late last night and this morning — way-heavy rains earlier today, but seemed to…
Darkly gray overcast, freaky-still, and gloomy this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley as bad weather has become more than just white-out snow drifts and rain rivers as the environment has conjured up even twisters into the meteorological mix. Our skies preview the next “pineapple express” heading our way early this week with another…
Rain and more rain this mid-day Friday here in California’s Central Valley as we feel wet from a ‘pineapple express,’ which blew in from the south Pacific last night — although our rainfall is steady and not so heavy, the apparent blunt of the storm is featured south of us with flooding and more flooding.…
(Image: ‘Atmospheric Rivers Painting,’ acrylic on canvas, by Jan Routh, and found here.) Sprinkling rain and chilly this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — for the first time in a great while, Leroy and I couldn’t take our morning walk, as it’s just too cold to venture out, even into a sparsely-wet environment.…
Overcast with occasional slivers of sunshine this early afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — a contrast to this morning’s gorgeously clear and warm environment, but right now a seemly preview of the days to come. Supposedly, we’re heading into a way-wet period starting maybe tomorrow, with another ‘atmospheric river‘ due by the weekend…
Clear skies and fading sunshine this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley.– a wildly gorgeous day compared to the last week, especially this morning when it might have been considered almost warmish, an interlude between cold-ass rain. And of the cold-ass land, we’re in a comfort zone compared to the rest of California, which…
Drizzling rain in way-chilly wind this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, continuing this winter’s wettest-in-a-while season of storms and weather-whatnot (chaos and turbulence). Despite the way-wet environment, we’re not that bad off where I’m located — a goodly chunk of the state is snowbound, along with all that implies, like no power and…
