War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Raining and a bit gloomy here this early Thursday morning along California’s northern coast, another day in the life. And life in the US, despite all the cliff-hangers, is mostly happy…but that could be the problem: What they found is that as people place more importance on being happy, they become more unhappy and depressed.…
Drizzling rain this Wednesday morning along California’s northern coast with more rain expected later today and maybe even into tomorrow. The weather’s not too bad up here, and has a kind of sameness about it just about year round — a June day can be found in January and vice versa. Not way-so for the…
Overcast and a bit on the warm side this morning along California’s northern coast, but that’s gotten to be fairly normal lately. A lot of shit has become ‘normal‘ most recently. President Obama nominated a couple of guys yesterday for some important government posts — one was a good choice, the other right out of…
Cloudy and wind-chilly this early Monday morning here on California’s northern coast, the first ‘real‘ day of the new year. Although technically, last Tuesday was the first and Wednesday the first ‘free‘ new day of the year, today marks the start of no holidays or other nefarious shit from interfering with our quest for life,…
Clear skies this early Sunday morning along California’s northern coast and the sun will soon pop up over the eastern mountains like thunder — although the forecast is for rain today, right now it’s gorgeous. And noted today for Californians: The public is invited to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of President Richard Nixon…
Wet, chilly and highly-gothic here on California’s northern coast this Saturday evening, drizzling rain since early on, creating a sad, thoughtful sense of purpose. Surfing the news sites seeking attention for my seemingly near-insatiable, up-to-the-second addiction for current events, apparently life seemingly has flat-lined as we crawl out from under the hideous holiday season —…
Overcast, and for an early January morning, a bit on the warm side, considering this is supposed to be winter. So much for the weather! Yesterday was payday at the liquor store I manage, and motherf*cker, was it a piss-ant, sad and depressing chore. (Illustration found here). We’re a rarity — payday is weekly, instead…
A bit of thin, high overcast this early Thursday morning on California’s northern coast, allowing the near-half moon to glimmer through the clouds — and it’s cold, too. In this particular set-up, I haven’t seen any of the Quadrantid meteor shower which is supposed to be burning through earth’s upper layers this morning, creating a…
Another clear and cold morning here on California’s northern coast and if the last couple of days are any indication, this one too should turn out pretty nice. Weather up here is hard to gauge — we can summer days in January and winter days in June. Life is a bit loco up here —…
Clear and cold this first early morning of a new year here on California’s northern coast, the clear, bright moon hanging up in the eastern sky with just a bit chewed off one side. It’s not all that real-cold, a few degrees above freezing, but the air will sharpened fairly quick the more inland —…
