War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast and quiet this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — at mid-week, it’s gotta be all down hill from here, right? Yesterday, the original idea for my morning post was Earth Day (which was Tuesday), but due to problems with my site, I forgot about it as I rushed about to finish the post…
No-more-excuses point, in a kind of watershed moment this morning — via the Guardian: Catastrophic climate change can be averted without sacrificing living standards, according to a landmark UN report published on Sunday. It concludes the transformation required to a world of clean energy and the ditching of dirty fossil fuels is eminently affordable. My…
Ground fog and warm air — nice early Thursday here on California’s north coast as we hustle our way toward the weekend — just a few more hours and it’s Friday! One item I’d seen earlier this week, but appeared to vanish from media sight was a big indicator of how our envirnoment is suffering,…
Clear-as-a-bell and chilly this early Wednesday on California’s north coast with rain apparently gone for awhile — warmer temperatures and sunny skies are forecast for the next week or so. Although we had some strong winds and ugly, dark clouds yesterday, not much in bad weather action — not so for the Bay Area, where…
Overcast with a chilly wind this early Monday on California’s north coast — a winter-like weather system is bearing down on us with forecasts of pretty-heavy thunderstorms today and tomorrow.

Darkly-thick overcast skies this Saturday morning on California’s north coast — rain and more rain on the schedule for this weekend, and maybe to even next Wednesday. Big topic, though, ain’t the weather. Vin Scully with some of the play-by-play: “A little tremor in the ball park…I am not sure if the folks felt it,…
Bright, bubbly and hot here this Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast — caps a gorgeous weekend as yesterday was much the same. In fact, in a rare instance for me in this region, I’m now weeding my little back-patio area in a T-shirt, which is a major thingy for an old-nerd’s skinny carcass. Right…
Overcast with a chilly breeze this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we grind through another work week. Friday is just a flip-of-the-finger away. We had a bit of nasty news yesterday afternoon from just south of us, down in Mendocino County, where a sheriff’s deputy was shot and killed in a shootout with…
Clear and a bit chilly this early Tuesday with a full moon nearly-bright as day. Beautiful sky filled with soft, twinkling stars, a picture of pre-dawn serenity — not! Less than 45 minutes ago, one of my most-profound fears were realized, but I didn’t know it. While in the shower, we had another earthquake, a…
Overcast and foggy with a chill in the air this early Sunday on California’s north coast — but if predictions are near-about correct, and we follow the course of the past week or so, sunshine and clear skies are in the immediate future. In an increasingly contrarian world, though, who in his-right-mind can predict shit?…
