War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Ugly, dumb-ass memory: Jeb! during the second GOP debate in September: ‘“You know what? As it relates to my brother, there is one thing I know for sure: He kept us safe. I don’t know if you remember, Donald. Do you remember the rubble? Do you remember the firefighter with his arms around him? He…
In a world getting warmer quick, what was considered ‘stable,’ might go unhinged, even in colder, drier climes — like Greenland’s northeastern glaciers. From Scientific American: But a new study detailed in the journal Science shows that two of those glaciers are showing worrying changes, and that one has been retreating at an accelerating rate…
Bright again and chilly this Friday morning on California’s north coast as we work our way toward the weekend. Rain is expected on Sunday and appears might last all through next week. Although mostly low ‘chance’ of rain, the forecast seems to indicate wet days ahead. Although it’s Friday the 13th, a mysterious object fell…
Clear and bright this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, and chilly, too. A goodly-sized rainstorm forecast for Saturday, maybe more than a half inch of rain, followed on its heels by another front carrying supposedly an-inch-and-a-half of the wet stuff. And a warning for beach-goers from the NWS: ‘A building northwesterly swell will impact…
Overcast a bit and cold this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, sunshine showing itself often, but not enough. A slight chance of rain (about 15 percent), but doesn’t really look it. Today is Veterans Day, supposedly a time set aside to honor those who are serving/have served in the US armed forces. However, in…
Bright sunshine tempered with a chilly ocean wind this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast, and beyond a ‘chance of rain’ tomorrow, the next storm not slated until the weekend. Cold and clear this morning, as each day a chill creeps closer to shivery-frigid. Although ‘drizzle‘ the size/strength level of our last rainstorm, the sound…
Soft rain this Monday morning on California’s north coast, maybe a rung lower than drizzle, as our latest storm front seems to be finally dying out, even after yesterday’s beautiful, bright afternoon. Light-rain came at dark, accompanied by sporadic, though, horrific-sounding thunder, and has continued since. Also horrific, quote of the day: “This is the…
Rain weather this Sunday morning on California’s north coast — showers for awhile, then brilliant sunshine, then dark clouds and more rain, followed by a hole in storm skies and a break into near-flash brightness. Routine the process over and over. One neat feature of such weather here on this Humboldt County coastline is the…
A muted environment this late Saturday afternoon here on California’s north coast, though, just the ambience of storm clouds a-coming — supposedly, a fairly-decent rainstorm starting later this evening, maybe continuing all-day tomorrow, and could stay-steady until Monday. Along the shoreline, we’ll have to wait and see… Weather is mostly-predictable to a point, with a…
Clear-bright and chilly this Friday morning on California’s north coast with a fairly-decent rainstorm slated for this weekend. And more cool temperatures with the storm, too, as a low pressure shifts southward from the Gulf of Alaska and brings showers to the region — appears as if the season is indeed coming upon us. In…
