War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Just as it was announced the US will deploy this week an additional 1,000 soldiers to Iraq, a couple of episodes from the Canadians, also in country to ‘only‘ train the national army, on how shit changes color — they’ve been in firefights already. From Canada’s The Star this morning: ‘Forget said the incidents mark an evolution…
Overcast and cold with a hint of light to the east — early Tuesday here on California’s north coast, and what’s the NWS-difference between ‘mostly cloudy,’ and ‘partly sunny,’ and who/what makes that subtle distinction? Meanwhile, and right now, a huge, monster storm is bashing the US eastern seaboard, and although New York City “dodged…
Thick overcast of deep gray this afternoon on California’s north coast — sunshine aplenty this morning, but quickly replaced first by a dense ground fog, which lifted a bit to form a dull, depressing sky. Another space rock encounter/near miss tonight: ‘A massive asteroid, roughly twice the size of the Rose Bowl stadium, will safely fly…
Clear and cold this early Monday on California’s north coast — the last week to a seemingly way-fast month. As we struggle through a ‘heat wave‘ up here, far to the east, cold-ass shit is about to hit a hard-blowing fan. From The Weather Channel: ‘Winter Storm Juno will transform from a clipper-type system, which…
Bright with extreme-sunshine this early Friday along California’s north coast. Some high, wispy clouds, but otherwise clear-as-a-blue-bottom-bell. We’re in what we’d all consider as a ‘heat wave,’ temperatures this week have progressively gotten warmer, mid-to-high 60s today, maybe up into the mid-70s by Sunday. Supposedly then, another week of similar weather, not quite as warm,…
Bright and still this afternoon on California’s north coast, but there’s still a chill in the air. This morning, a symbolic-metaphoric event based on figured-reality — the fabled, iconic Doomsday Clock, created and maintained by the Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists since 1947 was moved two minutes closer to the also-iconic-but-frightful…
Dark and a sensation of cold this early Thursday on California’s north coast — although the NWS claims it’s warmer than yesterday morning, and the rest of today to be warmer still. Yet a chill to any ass are the dip-shits infested within that august body of Senators out yonder in DC — they voted…
Hazy and chilly this late afternoon on California’s north coast — sunny and bright for most of the day, however, and supposedly rest of the week. Although President Obama last night chided those who “dodge the evidence” of climate change, a poll released last week from the Pew Research Center indicates a nation’s public policy priorities…
Clear with lots of sunshine already this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — supposedly start to a short warming trend through next week. Much-metaphorically-speaking, there was sunshine last night in DC as President Obama delivered an old-style State of the Union — dramatic comedy. A Tweet via Daily Kos: ‘Senior Democratic Hill aide reacting to…
In a surprise this afternoon, I finally sold my truck — a 1987 Jeep Comanche. And in a sad, bitter-sweet finale, watched it ride off southward to Fortuna. After a lifetime of different vehicles, the Jeep was by the far the neatest of them all, and at nearly eight years, the longest one I’d ever…
