War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Foggy and chilly again this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as we move swiftly through another work week — just think, Friday is now a day closer. And President Obama has a work week cut out for him, too, but there’s absolutely no weekend waiting for him. He’s catching flak-shit from just about all…
(Illustration: Hokusai’s ‘The Great Wave off Kanagawa‘ found here). Our little blue planet is mostly covered in water, and mostly salt water — 72 percent of the planet’s surface is salt water found in oceans and seas. I grew up on what was called a gulf, the Gulf of Mexico, but in reality it’s all…
Once again, Monday morning and life starts at the top, then goes straight-down the tubes. Deep, wet fog as the work week starts here on California’s north coast, and we’re sure everyone’s geared-up and ready to go. Not! Beyond the obscene mess of US politics, the weekend was a slow-news cycle, unless reports carried the…
Foggy and quiet this early Sunday — California’s north coast right now in the faint light is enveloped in a deep-gray moist of a morning. And not to mention, way-gothic. Fits the mood all-around. I’m pretty-much tired of horrific, or near-horrific accidents involving fossil fuels, and there seems to be one every few days — the…
Thick ground fog this early Friday on California’s north coast, and way-quiet, too — only a faint rumble from the Pacific Ocean just more than a mile away. And we’re on the cusp of another weekend, already! I guess Americans are letting loose with a sigh of relief after 16 days of political chaos from…
UPDATE BELOW Clear and chilly again this early Thursday on California’s north coast, the near-full moon hanging brightly out west over the Pacific Ocean. All seems serene. Appearances can be deceiving — in DC, the shit-for-brains bunch accomplished nothing more than raising the level of being “scoffed” and rebuked. Although our government is open again,…
Sparkling starlight this way-early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and a bit on the chilly side, too. We’ve been forecast for some frost in the internal valleys this morning, but out here next to the Pacific Ocean, it’ll be cool but way-pleasant. And as the incompetent, self-serving assholes in DC continue attempts to destroy what’s…
Clear skies this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast as we sprint toward a rendezvous with an apparent natural-formed insanity. Sweet Harry Reid last night: “We hope with good fortune and the support of all you (senators) — recognizing how hard this is for everybody — that perhaps tomorrow will be a bright day.” Yeah,…
Another cold and clear morning here on California’s north coast — a Monday, too. A start to another week of dangerous, crazy life in the nowadays. One real loony point comes on Thursday with the debt-ceiling deadline, and after a “complete and utter wasted weekend” in the US Congress on trying to get a handle on…
Clear and cold this Sunday morning here on California’s north coast, the sun near-literally bursting up like thunder a little while ago — and I don’t really know, but it sure feels the cold has arrived earlier this year. The word, ‘cold,’ being relative, of course. Such as wanting to coldcock some assholes in DC…
