War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Bong it or not, US peoples are seemingly taking a more-advanced view of marijuana — pot, grass, wacky-tobacky, ‘bud,’ smoke, and to the straights/intellects: cannabis. A most-interesting survey out last week from Pew Research, a new high in a 40-year history: A national survey finds that 52 percent say that the use of marijuana should…
Raining again this way-early Friday morning on California’s north coast, and warm, too. We need the rain, and the heat takes the bite out of getting quickly soaked. Water and warmth, which together create a way-rainy future, as reported yesterday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA): The study also showed a 20-30 percent…
Raining and warm this Thursday morning along California’s northern coast — water and heat is the jeux de position of living on this spring-loaded, explosive planet right now. We’re in some pitiful dire straights, but laughing all the way to the end. And I’ve been living on the fault line for years: Men going thin on…
Fog-in planet this Wednesday morning up here along California’s north coast, and in extremes, mirrors the horrible, sad fixation of mankind with war. War and whores have been around a long time — which one is the oldest profession? Let’s see here: The shit in Syria, the doo-doo in Mali, the crap in Afghanistan, the…
Fog-drizzle this Tuesday morning up here along California’s north coast, but the cloud layer looks pretty thin as the fingernail-looking moon is barely shrouded in mist, giving the air a mellow-dramatic appearance. Word play is today’s bullshit subject. In the state of the news this morning, there’s still the wild and crazy Korean peninsula, Caroline…
A brand-new week and a brand-new month — and no foolish jokes this Monday morning as we all try to be more smart than sorry. High overcast here on California’s north coast, but that’s just the weather. Time is double-timing down the old calender and it’s really, really hard to believe it’s April already, and…
Raining this particular Sunday morning and warm — the last few days have been exceptional, temperatures most-amiable and it might be that summer’s coming quicker than expected. Up here on California’s north coast, however, weather is of the moment, and we have days in January like days in July, which makes any kind of long-range…
New life on the InterWebs this morning — yesterday I got a new PC, and hopefully this will put an end to a shitload of stress, at least for awhile. Three laptops in three months — one was stolen, the second went shit-faced crazy, and upwardly optimistically, third time’s the charm. The new machine is…
Nearly clear skies this early Friday, though, more rain is expected for us up here along California’s north coast, and it’s a bit chilly outside, too. One anniversary yesterday was nearly forgotten by most of the media — even I forgot it and it has more meaning for me beyond a big, huge scare: The…
High overcast this early Thursday morning, the odd-shaped moon hanging bright through passing clouds, its luster-orb seemingly out over the Pacific — feels warmer out than inside my apartment. Weather up here on California’s north coast has been incredible the last few days. There’s been some rain, but not enough to do anything, or even…
