War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Thin, hazy sunshine this early Friday, the first day of May and 2015 keeps whistling on down the tracks. And rain’s gone, too. We’re not showing anything but fog, clouds and sun (in that order, usually) the next week to 10 days — the Bay Area experienced ‘easily the lowest on record‘ rainfall totals for…
In a flight of American history, today is the 40th anniversary of the fall of Saigon, actually bringing to a shitty end America’s shitty experience in Vietnam — iconic photos of helicopters lifting people off US embassy rooftops a reminder a generation later that war don’t work. Last month, three physician groups released a report,…
Clear at sunrise, but now about an hour or so later this early Thursday on California’s north coast, there’s high-thinnish clouds filtering the shine, but clear skies scheduled for today, and supposedly warmer, too. According to forecasts, dry as a bone for the next week to 10 days — one word, ‘nice.’ Also on the…
“Congress makes me vomit.” — Josh Lyman, “The West Wing“ Binged-watched the first four/five seasons of the political fantasy last week via Netflix, though, blowing chunks off a bile-infested Congress is indeed gut-wrenching, Josh’s digestive-system could easily have been reacting to a shitload of public plates full of noxious offerings. Nowadays with horror-shit at every…
Overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and from my little back-patio perspective, looks like some patchy ground fog, too. Earlier, the NWS also nailed our situation just about right with a forecast of ‘becoming sunny‘ for today — if conditions continue. Sunshine yesterday afternoon was a bit tepid, but par for the course,…
Hazy sunshine this afternoon along California’s north coast with fog apparently just waiting to cover the sky — nice with a cool, brisk breeze right now, but the light is fading on us. Odd how the darker it gets here in mid-afternoon, that some natural instinct in the brain (maybe just my brain) thinks also…
Ominous clouds approaching-thickly from the east this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, but around my apartment right now the sky is near-clear with just a wisp of white vapor way up — supposedly another nice day ahead. First, though, we’re most-likely going to get heavy-hammered with ground fog, which should burn off before noon,…
Reality will never actually leave George W. Bush alone, the destruction and waste created from scratch will continue to thrive, the denial of accountability a way-shitty sting to America’s self esteem as conjured-up to the world. One wonders if Americans care to understand — from the History News Network dated Nov. 6, 2008: In an informal survey…
Some clear sunshine arising this early Monday on California’s north coast as we look forward to a supposed string of days ahead of ‘mostly sunny‘ skies and fairly-warm temperatures. Entering the last week of April in a year seemingly already slid-gone like a greased asshole — and today’s Monday again, and as a retiree (a…
Sometime this morning will mark eight years since this blog — ‘Compatible Creatures‘ — appeared online, and ironically continues hopefully beyond the next typed word or two. We entered the InterWebs early on April 24, 2007, with just two words, ‘Woo Hoo!‘ — apparently, excitedly exclaimed, though, and observed metaphorically, naive to the techno-abyss lurking…
