War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast, rain and fog this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we wade through about a week’s worth of wet weather. People a bit south of us, down ‘Frisco way, are experiencing “a little bit of everything,” including thunderstorms and hail, with an even bigger system due tomorrow. Up here we get rain in…
Raining fairly heavy this way-too-early Wednesday on California’s north coast, but maybe the sun will show itself later, like it did yesterday afternoon — gorgeous and warm. We need the rain, though, and lots more. Quick snapshot of America 2014 from Democratic pollster Celinda Lake: “Both parties are universally despised. The best thing the Republicans have…
“Ever read any Poe?” “No, but I loved her last album.” — “Panic Room” Raining and warm this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — we’re forecast for wet weather for the next week-to-10-days, so I might as well get used to it. A horror I talked about yesterday morning — a possible cracked head…
Clear and chilly this way-early Monday on California’s north coast as we start another work week as springtime seems have arrived unannounced. This past weekend was gorgeous — the skies clear and sunny with really-warm temperatures. I spent Headthe weekend grubbing around in my tiny “back yard,” which is no more than a thin strip…
Bright, bubbly and hot here this Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast — caps a gorgeous weekend as yesterday was much the same. In fact, in a rare instance for me in this region, I’m now weeding my little back-patio area in a T-shirt, which is a major thingy for an old-nerd’s skinny carcass. Right…
Dark this early Friday — Duh! And high overcast with a chilled breeze on California’s north coast as we’re only hours away from a weekend. Sitting here at the laptop in these pre-dawn hours is similar to sitting in a movie theater watching coming attractions without any sense of time, place or who. Delusion appears…
Overcast with a chilly breeze this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we grind through another work week. Friday is just a flip-of-the-finger away. We had a bit of nasty news yesterday afternoon from just south of us, down in Mendocino County, where a sheriff’s deputy was shot and killed in a shootout with…
Clear and chilly again this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — mid-week weakly here. No earthquakes during my morning bath, but there’s been two little shakers since I got up earlier, and the movement continues. Fascinating life in the nowadays, huh? War in the Crimea, a big passenger jet still missing after nearly two…
Clear and a bit chilly this early Tuesday with a full moon nearly-bright as day. Beautiful sky filled with soft, twinkling stars, a picture of pre-dawn serenity — not! Less than 45 minutes ago, one of my most-profound fears were realized, but I didn’t know it. While in the shower, we had another earthquake, a…
Overcast with a drizzly rain this early Monday on California’s north coast as we begin another freakin’ work week. No ground shaking, though, at least there’s that. And today is pure-booze day — St. Patrick’s is every asshole’s drinking problem, and a third of Americans planning to celebrate, with more than 80 percent of those clowns…
