War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Considered ‘partly cloudy,’ right now, though maybe in a few minutes the word, ‘partly,’ will be replaced by its opposite, ‘wholly,’ as heavy rain is forecast for this afternoon on this little stretch of California’s north coast — more ‘partly cloudy‘ due tomorrow, with rain rainfall supposedly lessening. In the scope of politics and climate…
Rain and more rain this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, but we get breaks between downpours, sometimes even with sunshine, but nothing like down in LA County — Meteorologist Curt Kaplan: ‘“Yesterday, we had six straight hours of rain.”‘ So much so, records shattered dating to 1961. And with all that wet, the inevitable…
Drizzling rain and thickly-overcast this early Sunday, the last day of November, here on California’s north coast — we’re feeling the trailing remnants of a big storm now sweeping southward. So big the weather-front, counties south of the Bay Area opened ‘sandbag stations,’ in case of flooding off the storm — so ‘uncommon lately,’ TV…
Overcast and rainy-looking on California’s north coast this early Thursday — i.e., Thanksgiving — as well as it should be, a big storm is supposedly swirlin’ our way. According weather reports, the storm is the biggest in years, for this time of year and in a short space — we could get up to three…
Fairly-clear skies this early Sunday, especially after so much rain falling here-abouts on California’s north coast the last few days — and maybe we’ll catch some rays later. Alas, the weather… In the vast-sweep of climate change, weather seems to be the end result of climate on a daily basis. One must understand the difference/inbred-similarities…
Rain, wind and cold — weather-bound Friday here on California’s north coast. Rain scheduled for all day, and supposedly heavy tonight. Maybe some sun tomorrow… Despite the freezing-ass cold of the upper-eastern US, and the epic New York snowstorms, the world is still getting warm — last month, California had the third-warmest October since record-keeping…
Overcast and chilly this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast with more rain on the way, a chance tonight, but apparently for sure tomorrow and a rainy week ahead. One local forecast read, ‘warmer than yesterday,’ but it sure don’t feel like it. As a thin, old guy, cool for me is cold, and cold…
Bright and cool this late afternoon, but without DST, nighttime seems to come quick, getting-darker faster. End-of-a-terrible mystery news: The “melting,” or “wasting” disease horribly killing sea stars — or ‘star fish‘ — along the West Coast, including right here in Humboldt County, is apparently caused by a type of parvovirus, bad shit usually found…
Clear and chilly outside this early Monday — way-high, wispy clouds, though, will most-likely tone-down sunshine — but this little patch of California’s north coast does feel the sense of real, around-here cold for the first time this year. Temperatures reportedly in the low-40s with a slight, sharp-crisp breeze, the ambience on my back patio…
Dark and rainy this early Friday on California’s north coast, and on my back patio, a sight of a half-moon hanging slightly southward, but seemingly way-up there in a broken-cloudy sky. A lot of rain last night, and the few days. Rainfall totals for the area last month from the NWS — my little spot…
