War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Outside this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, I can hear the wind picking up and a definite chill-factor rolling across the area — we’re suppose to catch a major winter storm today and tomorrow, but who’s to know. And weather 76 years ago apparently helped prepare the German dirigible, the Hindenburg, for a bad…
Another Monday morning, and just no way around it — overcast and a bit chilly on California’s north coast with some real-winter weather due here this evening and tomorrow. We’re forecast for hail and even snow, but who’s to say — not like the US mid-section (again): Chicago could be buried by up to 10 inches…
Interesting, though, I don’t know if it’s real or not — can’t read Cyrillic. Some photos of supposed-fragments off the famous meteorite that flamed across the Chelyabinsk region of Russia last month can be seen here (via The Reddit Edit this morning). And why that’s interesting, I don’t know either — just some coal-looking rock chunks. My…
Wet and foggy this Saturday morning on Caliornia’s north coast. The thick mist makes for a quiet, almost-surreal silence. As if the world outside is at a standstill. Well, it ain’t. A scant few hours ago, President Obama signed the sequester order, thus, opening up a can of toxic worms, and this morning: “These cuts…
Drizzling rain through a thick ground fog — this early Friday weather along California’s northern coast as we begin the weekend outlook with a throat slashing. Today starts the infamous sequester — run for the hills! Or run somewhere. Due to incompetence and nasty indifference, the US Congress along with President Obama are letting the…
Rainy, fog-bound, but warm this Thursday morning on California’s north coast as we trip lightly to the end of another month. And with the calender comes a shitload of stuff the average, walking-around American will have trouble trying to understand, despite all the shrill noise from DC and its environs. Understanding all the ugly might…
Middle of the week — ya-hoo! Unless it’s that Yahoo, and then it’s get thee to the office you lazy home workers! Clear and cold this morning — the moon slightly less-than-round — and the whole sky along California’s north coast has a full dose of white light outlying life in this land of the not-so-fast lane.…
Tuesday morning cold and clear on California’s north coast with rain predicted for this afternoon and tomorrow, but this is 2013, not 1963 — we’re in the formative stages of the real tempest in a teapot. Weather’s going to be anything but normal. In the final days to Friday, and the crossing of the Rubicon,…
Here we go again — another Monday morning here on California’s northern coast, facing a week ahead full of strange, wondrous and most-ugly shit from both inside and outside the noodle. High overcast with the near-full moon a puffer-ed, white eyeball staring through the clouds and occasionally winking, as in ‘wink, wink, nudge, nudge.’ Of…
Another Sunday morning, the last one of February, and the next few days will lead up to a new month but the same-old shit. On Friday, a legislative trigger will automatically snap back, force the hammer down and pop a cap at who/whatever’s in the vicinity – unfortunately, just about all regular Americans will catch at least…
