War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Gray marine layer covers my little space of California’s north coast this Monday afternoon, and beyond the normal fog, supposedly we’re to have some pleasant weather for the next week-to-10 days — sunshine chilled by ocean breezes. Over the past weekend, I saw there’s this new study-paper, “A Moist Crevice for Word Aversion: In Semantics…
Foggy-moist this near-noon Friday on California’s north coast, another episode in the life-files of late. Supposedly, after today clear skies, sunshine and probably no rainbows, too — educated estimate anybody’s guess. Uneducated, though, and with a nasty, deliberate grace is the presidential campaign of The Donald — last week, a Burlingame High School junior voiced the…
Drizzling rain this early Thursday on California’s north coast, softly and misty — opposite to a couple of hours ago when a nasty, but quick, storm front hammered its way across the landscape. Heavy-pelting rain with close-at-hand thunder caffeinated the senses just shortly after daybreak. According to the NWS, more than a quarter-inch of rain…
Overcast with an occasional burst of faded-yellow sunshine this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — according to the NWS, a weak cold front and associated low pressure system is passing the region the next few days, but not carrying much rain, location the difference between ‘isolated‘ and ‘scattered‘ rain showers, which you can only…
Overcast and gray this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — a chance of scattered showers tonight, and maybe some isolated thunderstorms, too, but clear skies due by Thursday. Age is the real weather crusher, not gray clouds, or any rain. I’m a baby boomer — we currently make-up 28 percent of the US population…
Sunshine and warm temperatures this Monday afternoon on California’s north coast, all tempered by a slightly-cool ocean breeze — about as good-as-it-gets for these parts. Overcast-sun and a slight chance of rain forecast for tomorrow, similar weather features on-and-off for the rest of the week. As we start another wildfire season here in California, a…
Drizzling rain and chilly this early Friday on California’s north coast — this bit of thin-wet caught me by surprise as I thought we were suppose to go dry and warm for a few days. However, sunshine is predicted for today sometime, and then good weather until middle of next week. Interesting piece from the Guardian…
(Illustration: ‘California Redwoods3,’ by Will Borden, found here). Bright sunshine and gusty winds this near-noon Thursday on California’s north coast as we start a decent-sized episode of clear weather, an attitude supposedly to last until at least the middle of next week — according to the WunderBlog‘s weather thingy, the precipitation percentage appears on the…
Drizzling rain-showers this gray Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — a good-weather period slated after today, though, with clear skies and even warm temperatures supposedly through the end of next week. Always on the outlook for ironic situations, a new study confirms what I’d figured forever, both as a kid, and later as a…
Overcast overshadowing coming rain-showers this near-noon Tuesday on California’s north coast — sunshine earlier, but gray now, and as the NWS ambiguously-noted, ‘Scattered Showers then Showers Likely,’ for tonight, ‘Showers Likley‘ for Wednesday. CYA poetic for not much real-rain ‘likely.’ And also most-likely, the news cycle today dominated by US politics — the so-called Acela primary. Yesterday…
