War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration found here). Just as everything got worse, it did — dust blown thousands of miles is darkening ice on earth’s glaciers and in the Arctic, eliminating “albedo,” the process of ice reflecting sunlight, adding heat in the environment, and further/faster climate change. From the Guardian today: The phenomenon of “dark snow” is being recorded from…
A foggy and chilly Saturday morning on California’s north coast — normal as the word ‘standard.’ Last week, as anyone paying just a gist-amount of attention would know, results from a Quinnipiac University National Poll showed President Obama the worse US president since WWII, and also included this question to respondents: How much of the…
Ground fog again this early Friday on California’s north coast — and all is quiet and still, mainly due to no one (except me) having to work. Today is some kind of holiday, I’m told. Yeah, right — it’s Independence Day, the fourth of July. America’s 238th birthday, though, a shitload of morons believe it’s…
Foggy again this early Thursday on California’s north coast, but supposedly we’re into a nice stretch of weather, especially with the big holiday tomorrow. Although just a mile or so inland temperatures are expected to be in triple digits the next few days, for us here on the shoreline, it will be in the balmy…
Fickle the hands of events, coupled with stupid: In a survey of 1,446 registered voters, 33 percent said Obama was the worst president since World War Two, while 28 percent pointed to his predecessor, George W. Bush, as the worst, the poll by Quinnipiac University found. A blue-tinted, sad graph at USAToday shows next down from George…
Another normal early-morning here on California’s north coast — foggy and a bit warm even for the middle of the work week, though, this particular Wednesday is sucking up this nation’s birthday. Friday is the famous July 4 — our Independence Day (with aliens, too, but of the Hispanic variety) — but Arthur might strike…
Overcast with a bit of ground fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as we pass the halfway mark for 2014 — time flies, period. Fun or not. Although we’ve had some gorgeous weather here, another product of the times — a derechos — had formed in the US Midwest and last night churned…
Clear on a Monday here on California’s north coast with the skies still dark and chilly. Weekends move much-too fast and always it seems the first day of the week is the quickest on the draw. Beautiful weather around these parts, though, with Saturday and Sunday both bright and warm; more sunshine expected the rest…
(Illustration: The Dick, George Jr., and a Known-Known, posture hypocrisy on an American country road, found here). In just a few words, a glimpse into the horror-nightmare of Iraq, and a status-update to the current fight to retake Tikrit from the militants: “The animals are eating the corpses of ISIS,” Brig. Resan al-Brahimi, a federal…
Overcast, still and really quiet this early Friday as the weekend is now just hours away. We’re set for more rain today (about 80 percent chance), and then the forecast calls for nearly two weeks of clear, warm weather — we’ll see. In the midst of horrible news from the Middle East and all around,…
