War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Although right now California’s north coast is engulfed in thick fog, most times of darkness here lately have been near-crystal clear, hence a couple of near-locals had the opportunity to spy some fascinating remnants off Friday night’s meteor pop seen most-brightly over the Bay Area. Via probably the best news source hereabouts, The Lost Coast…
Thick fog this Saturday morning here on California’s northern coast — too dense to see anything happening skyward. Nuts — in all the noted excitement yesterday on a close-call asteroid and the exploding, dramatic meteorite in Russia, folks just south of me also picked up some space debris last night. First, via USAToday: A bright…
Clear and a bit chilly this early Friday morning along California’s northern coast and a good wrap-on-the-knuckles to start the weekend. We gotta get through this day first — our little, blue planet will get a close fly-by this afternoon by a 150-foot piece of space rock, and although scientific brainiacs say we’re safe, the Russians…
Thin ground fog and still a bit on the warm side for February along California’s northern coast, but still way-better than a lot of other spots on this fragile earth. On Tuesday night, President Obama droned on about how terrible the US has become because of gun violence, but didn’t take into consideration the gun violence…
Cloudy and overcast this Wednesday morning here along California’s northern coast, just a swipe away from all the nefarious shenanigans occurring all over the freakin’ place. Weather is not the absolute end being of life — then again…. In DC, there’s the end — most especially the offshoot of President Obama’s state-of-the-union speech last night, his…
Clear skies with stars twinkling this Tuesday morning along California’s north coast, and for some reason, the outside environment feels warmer than inside my apartment. Human skin and temperatures baffle the senses. Tonight is President Obama’s state-of-the-union, and all the pre-jazz on the speech seems to indicate an economical crock-a-shit, or how to spin away from…
Clear and a bit on the warm side this early Monday morning along California’s northern coast, and the air is apparently so clean, the muffled roar of the Pacific can be easily heard from my back patio. Among the wads of interesting things happening on this planet right now, the most terribly-interesting one is the…
(Illustration: ‘Lazy Sunday Afternoon‘ by funkymarmalade found here). Late Sunday afternoon here on California’s northern coast — it’s well past dark-thirty on the eastern seaboard where a massive winter storm is grinding halt to normal life. Here the weather’s crystal clear, a bit on the chilly side out in the breeze, but nice and warm…
Clear and cold this early Friday morning on California’s northern coast, and although rain has been forecast, hopefully today (and the weekend) will be like this past week — warm and sunny. Not warm and sunny in my brain. As any of the tiny, baby-handful of visitors to this blog already know, I’m working off…
Mr. George Carlin explains: “‘Older’ sounds a little better than ‘old,’ doesn’t it? Sounds like it might even last a little longer. … I’m getting old. And it’s OK. Because thanks to our fear of death in this country I won’t have to die — I’ll ‘pass away.’ Or I’ll ‘expire,’ like a magazine subscription.…
