War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Thick ground fog and a deep quiet this early Thursday morning on California’s north coast — an obscuring haze seemingly covering the whole, wide world. Especially in DC. President Obama’s so-called “charm offensive” with House Republicans lost its glitter on the likes of John ‘The Boner’ Boehner, who blubbered all kinds of negatives after meeting…
Overcast and quiet this early Wednesday morning here on California’s north coast — either low clouds or high fog, I can’t tell the difference only that there’s no stars in sight. And this the middle of the fabled work-week and a lot of garbage has piled up by now. The first two days is for…
Overcast and still warm this way-early Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, and if the recent past is any indication, this day will either be foggy, sunny or a mixture of both — who’s to really say? Weather up here is almost the same year ’round, not like just about everywhere else. Beyond the noodle…
Once again another Monday morning and there’s absolutely nothing I can do about it. The shit starts anew — a work-week opus. Overcast and a bit warm here on California’s north coast, but still so far not a bad winter — not much rainfall either, which could mean a drought situation south of us this…
Forgot the DST this morning, even with all the news-site-blurbs yesterday yakking about ‘spring forward’ — a good thing it’s Sunday and there’s no place of got-to-be, so time can just go and kiss my… Ask a lot of US peoples and this lost hour of sleep is “torture,” panic-filled, “with more than a little…
Wondering a bit this evening, reading about another astro-podic close encounter of earth with a chunk of space rock, the one this afternoon ‘…big as a city block…’ glided past about 600,000 miles up — as Reuters explained: That’s about 2-1/2 times as far as the moon, fairly close on a cosmic yardstick. A space…
Razor cuts the throat all the time — and all that jazz. Those highly-intelligent ‘sequester’ budget cuts are also striking the musical heart — up here on California’s north coast the US Air Force Band won’t be doing tooting its horns this year at the fabled Redwoods Coast Jazz Festival due to f*cked-up funding. Not only…
Clear and cold this Friday morning, but not as cold as it should be — this winter so far has been easy and mild up here along California’s north coast. Weather is like a successful restaurant — all depends on location, location, location. And just a short space away could be disaster. The upper US East Coast…
Cold and a bit overcast this Thursday morning on California’ north coast and so far for us on the Pacific beach this current system has spared the worse. Out east (hah!), a huge storm has hit the fabled US capital with a surge: The storm was dubbed a “snowquester,” a play off the wonky “sequester” term used…
(Illustration found here). Raining pretty good this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast and it’s supposed to keep it up the next few days. Despite the inconvenience, it’s not so bad and we need the water, especially to the south of us. And we’re not so bad — my youngest daughter lives in Minneapolis and…
