War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear and chilly this way-too-early Thursday here on California’s north coast — and apparently earthquake weather, too. We had a 4.7 last night, but I didn’t feel a thing — it was located more than 70 miles southwest of where I’m at, but not many locals felt it, just a “short, fast jolt” if anything.…
Thick ground fog blankets the northern California coast this early Wednesday, the second day in a row for such antics and yesterday I thought the deep mist would make the air warmer — wrong! Cold as shit yesterday, and the bite felt way-frigid mainly because of the unseasonably warm temperatures we’d had the previous week,…
Heavy ground fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, which in turn makes the moist air a little-bit warmer — meanwhile, on the eastern US seaboard today winter keeps on keeping on with storms to drop near a foot of snow. In all the shit going-down nowadays, this a really-good, feel-good story: “I went over…
Clear and a bit on the chilly side this early Monday on California’s north coast — a big chunk of the moon still lights the western sky, shimmering now out over the Pacific Ocean. And no rain in anybody’s sight. No moisture, no water — last Friday, dry shit hit the fan as Gov. Jerry…
Yesterday afternoon, restless and unpredictable after a worrisome nap, and after what seemingly was an inconceivable amount of time, I finally clicked on Eddie Murphy’s way-gone, way-lame 1980s, ‘Coming to America,’ via Netflix. Maybe near two decades since I’d seen it — the kids growing up watched a lot of movies, and I sat amongst…
We elect presidents in the hope the asshole will handle shit correctly, keep war and pestilence at bay. Some Americans pay more attention than others, and sometimes can actually see the smell — history provides the reality. When I started this blog in 2007, most of the subject matter was unfortunately somehow connected to war,…
Clear and near-balmy this early Friday on California’s north coast as we rally for the weekend. Once again this morning, the moon hangs like a white-bright-eye in the western sky. And speaking of the eye in the sky — President Obama is scheduled for one of the most-important speeches of his see-saw career today on…
Clear and moon-struck once again this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we bask in a spring/summer outbreak of warm weather. A stalled high pressure out in the Pacific has kept the state warm and rain-free — the first is way-nice, the second, shitty-as-can-be. Also shitty is the amount of disgraceful shenanigans eating up…
A most-beautiful afternoon of warm sunshine and nearly-no wind — here on California’s north coast, a rare day when all you need is just a T-shirt, or at least for my old, skinny ass. We stand right now at a way-balmy 74 degrees, and the same is expected tomorrow. And so warm and nice, I’ve…
Clear and feeling a bit warmer, too, this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — the moon a bright light in the western sky. Mid-week move-a-long. A couple of privacy spots this morning, both leading the US toward one huge surveillance state of affairs. The first is the use of drones in America — law…
