War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Heavy-sunshine and way-warm this early Sunday on California’s north coast — rare events the last couple of days days with clear, clean skies, very-little wind and heat — from the NWS this morning: ‘Another round of above normal temperatures is expected today, even for the coast!‘ Exclamation point! Beyond our ‘downright pleasant‘ weather here along the…
Gray with a chilled air this early-evening Tuesday here on California’s north coast — contrast the way-ugly weather elsewhere. And a frame to the life under the T-Rump — Americans are swiftly-feeling the chill. Even well before all the ominous North Korean war news today, and before T-Rump’s ‘”fire and fury”‘ blather, a big chunk…
Foggy and growing darkly-gray this early-evening Monday on California’s north coast, cool as opposed to great heat found a couple of miles inland. Local, local, local — an old news story of interest, tapping into a report today on T-Rump-state TV (NBC News): ‘“More great economic news on Friday,” former pro-Trump cable news commentator Kayleigh…
Sunshine and warmth again this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — we’re sitting near 70-degrees here close to 5 o’clock, forecast for the high-70s along the shoreline for tomorrow and Thursday. Sweet here, but way-hot-shitty just slightly eastward from the beach — an example of our future. Research from the University of Colorado, published yesterday: Even…
Felt the shift, a gentle shudder as I had just sat down in front of my laptop — the reaches here off a decent-sized earthquake northwest of Ferndale, and about 65 miles southwest from where my ass had plunked down. According to the USGS, a 5.1 shaker rattled this Friday afternoon, a couple minutes after…
Sunshine still this late Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast — another gorgeous episode of summer. T-Rump appears in a rapid melt-down, or even worse — oh, the causticity, as explained this morning by Gail Collins at the New York Times: Pick your favorite irony: 1) Donald Trump turns out to be terrible at firing…
Typical summer’s weather-fare this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast — sunshine smothered by fog. Although there’s still a faded-yellow glow, it won’t last long as a deep gray has been slowly floating onto shore the last couple of hours. Life spirals… As T-Rump becomes more repugnant with each passing day, the changing climate is…
Sunny with a chilled wind this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — the summer’s beat continues. This morning, a short visit from an old, longtime friend, one I hadn’t seen, or maybe not even talked to in more than two decades, and the experience was way-pleasant. Odd the years, how fast they pass, and…
Time marches forward, no matter the bullshit tossed up into the fan of life — distraction is the byword now, and there’s plenty. Even as we digest T-Rump Jr.’s asshole antics, and the Senate’s confirmation hearings this morning for Christopher A. Wray as FBI director, the real, reality continues unabated. A massive Antarctic iceberg, more…
Bright sunshine this near-noon Thursday melding with only a wisp of wind, producing what could be called a ‘heat wave‘ for here on California’s north coast. However, inland just a short space and an actual ‘heat wave’ with temperatures in the triple digits — we’re reportedly at 72-degress right now. Although now retired nearly three years,…
