War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Drizzly-fog and gray skies this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and our weather continues its predictable unpredictability — yesterday, no sunshine until way-late in the afternoon. Most-likely today will be the same… Despite our air-wetness up here, last week’s Drought Monitor reported all of California still covered in some-type dry, and getting so bad California…
Foggy and chilly this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, seemingly part of the narrative of early summer in these parts. And most-likely, as in yesterday’s tale, sunshine and a sea breeze can be expected in a few hours, or less. One glaring aspect of the historical/political narrative coming to the recent forefront is the…
Deep-gray on California’s north coast this early Monday, and damp with patchy-drizzly fog — if trends continue, however, by mid-morning we should be awash with sunshine. Environmental concerns across the pond — amidst Britain’s Brexit chaos is the danger for climate research (National Geographic): ‘“It’s depressing, but the uncertainty doesn’t help,” says Philip Jones, research…
A dog’s life. The Corgi pictured at right is my daughter’s, Kuru, after a romp on the beach here in Mckinleyville — I wrote the backstory on Kuru last November. Read it here if you’d like, a dog’s tale. Point of interest for this particular post is tomorrow’s biannual Nor Cal Corgi Con 2016 Summer…
Bright sunshine once again this early Friday on California’s north coast, accompanied by a slight, cool breeze — apparently another beautiful day, ‘weather-wise.’ Otherwise, shit is piling-up in the corners. Yesterday, Britain voted to leave the European Union, and you-know-what has hit the fan, maybe in far-reaching ways. (Good nutshell of ‘Brexit‘ at FiveThirtyEight). Beyond the…
Bright sunshine and near-clear skies this early Thursday on California’s north coast, reversing trends of early-morning gray. Beyond US politics, after a recent binge-watch of all four ‘Jurrasic Park‘ movies, I realized nuclear power plants should also carry that same ‘Park‘ warning — All’s cool, “Until something goes wrong…” Case in point, Japan’s Fukushima Diiachi…
Patchy fog gray this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and if recent patterns continue, clear skies with a sharp ocean breeze by late morning. Beyond national politics, and the on-going horror of the “shit stain,” a big gathering this week in Oakland for the Cannabis Business Summit and Expo, and the possible pot legalization due…
Overcast and gloomy-looking this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — a temporary gray as way-most-likely the sun will dramatically appear soon and wash away the sad. Dry for at least the next 10 days, maybe longer as the summer cranks itself into gear. A perfect pitch for a searing fire season ahead for California,…
Fog mingled with low clouds overcast this early Monday on California’s north coast — a chilled ocean breeze indicates the marine layer is yuuge… Today, too, is the beginning of Summer Solstice, reportedly actually starting at 3:34 PDT this afternoon, and also supposedly the longest day of the year. If interested, there’s a handy, localized…
Overcast with occasional faded-yellow sunshine this early Friday on California’s north coast. Started drizzling on-and-off last night, continued on into the right now. Despite the gray, most-likely another nice day ahead for this little section of the Pacific Ocean shoreline. An approach to handling Orlando — Max Lenderman, CEO of School, observed this morning: ‘‘There’s…
