War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear and a bit chilly this Friday morning on California’s north coast — the bright, disk-like moon hangs to the south, creeping westward toward the Pacific Ocean. And a surprise yesterday afternoon — rain. Although an overall light shower, on occasion I could hear the raindrops popping all over the place. No more wet in…
Ground fog and a little warm this way-too-early Thursday on California’s north coast as we cruise toward the weekend. And tomorrow’s Friday, so we ain’t that far away. Up this early, I down a cup of coffee before my eyes are even open. In the mid-1990s, the revelation of coffee-power changed my mornings and was…
Overcast, some ground fog and really quiet this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — the environment typical for this area. Yesterday about the same. Fog in the morning, clearing with bright sunshine in the afternoon, but coupled with a strong, chilly wind. All’s normal on the Lost Coast. Surfing the news sites this morning…
Quiet with a deep, and low overcast this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — a situation which blocked us from the famous “blood moon” episode, seen just about everywhere else this morning. The total lunar eclipse supposedly painted the moon a coppery red, and everybody rejoiced — so says a Tweeter from Missouri: “It’s…
Overcast high-up and a bit of fog down-low this early Monday on California’s north coast, as the weekend is now history — and a beautiful history, too. Sunshine and clear skies along with way-warm temperatures the last two days has the area feeling like summer is already here! But shit! It’s Monday anyway. And tonight…
No-more-excuses point, in a kind of watershed moment this morning — via the Guardian: Catastrophic climate change can be averted without sacrificing living standards, according to a landmark UN report published on Sunday. It concludes the transformation required to a world of clean energy and the ditching of dirty fossil fuels is eminently affordable. My…
Clear and chilly this early Friday on California’s north coast — the skies are twinkling with stars and a fat-sliver of the moon hangs quietly out over the Pacific. We’re supposed to have sunshine and warm temperatures today in a typical spring outing for us up here. Shitty already this morning. We usually receive national…
Ground fog and warm air — nice early Thursday here on California’s north coast as we hustle our way toward the weekend — just a few more hours and it’s Friday! One item I’d seen earlier this week, but appeared to vanish from media sight was a big indicator of how our envirnoment is suffering,…
Thick ground fog and a deep quiet this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, normal for this time of year, and pretty-much the look of the place all the time. Gray mist, then sunshine about noon, or so. Is America going to shit in a wire basket? George Jr. once blubbered, “We don’t torture.” Yet…
Low overcast and ground fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and a bit on the warm side, too. Another typical Humboldt County weather situation — fog with splashes of sunshine. Beyond the continuing news cycle of about the same thing — still searching the pings in the Indian Ocean; Russia warns of more…
