War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast and chilly here this early Friday on California’s north coast — on occasion, bright, quick rays of sunshine. Costume holiday — one of our more-weird, and disturbing festivities today, All Saints Eve, or Halloween. A bit from the US Library of Congress: ‘The old beliefs associated with Samhain never died out entirely. The powerful…
Overcast and cured with bit of a chilled breeze this early Thursday on California’s north coast — maybe rain, maybe not. We’re forecast for it the next couple of days, but it’s all blowing in the wind. Even in a whiff, it’s all crazy — CNN headline this morning, ‘Maine nurse in Ebola controversy bikes…
High fluffy clouds, bright sunshine this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast, and nearly no wind — gorgeous. Windows open, back sliding-glass door shoved open to its stop. Around here, weather shifts in a snap-second, as just a bit earlier we’d had heavy, dark clouds, and a drizzle. Odd, though, hardly no breeze at all.…
Overcast and chilly this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast with some rain sprinkles thrown in for good measure. Another week in the wet — tonight is supposed to be the rain high point, then the cover of ‘showers’ the next few days. And it’s gloomy, too. Weather to feel sad. Yet even in gloomy…
Bright and sunny with a bit of chilled wind, here this Monday afternoon on California’s north coast. Gorgeous now but more rain expected tomorrow. Late in the day for a first post, usually way-earlier I’d have at least one piece up about something-or-another, but got involved with other stuff, then discovered I had to replace…
Gorgeous Sunday afternoon here on California’s north coast — sunshine-warm with windows open. What drought? Ready on the mind for most Californians: ‘A new poll from the Public Policy Institute of California found that 62 percent of voters are following the drought very closely while only 18 percent are following the election very closely.’ Only three…
Due to this really, really crazy world and all the news pouring from every direction 24/7, I miss a lot of stuff otherwise buried — one for sure is the report Joni Mitchell will release a new box-set-collection of her tunes, due Nov. 17, where she boiled down 17 albums into 53 songs. In a…
Thick, dark clouds this early Sunday on California’s north coast — supposedly rain is to slow today, down to cloudy tonight and back to fog on Monday. Just a respite, though, forecast is for more rain in the immediate future, maybe Tuesday. A little bewildered this morning. Somehow I figured Daylight Savings Time was to…
Despite the deep, dark storm clouds now cowering over the northern California coast, and all the crazy shit happening all over, especially yesterday, another sight from the skies — from Space.com this morning: The solar flare occurred Friday afternoon, reaching its peak at 5:41 p.m. EDT (2141 GMT), and triggered a strong radio blackout at…
Clear and windy right now this early Saturday on California’s north coast — we’re in the midst of hostile weather with high winds, gusts up to 45, and supposedly some heavy rain, maybe a bit of hail tossed into the mix. According to the Lost Coast Outpost last evening, the environment will be fit for…
