War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Cold and clear this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley — record rainfall for our area on Saturday, however, but still not enough to drown away the drought. Meanwhile, a big item on the news cycle today — Talking Points Memo has a good series going on the texts T-Rump fourth and last chief…
Once again another plea to please, please buy my novel — “Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona,” self-published via Outskirts Press last March, and help an old guy grow older a bit more gracefully. Or maybe more delightfully, or dexterously — whatever My author’s page at Outskirts is here. The Amazon/Kindle page is here. A…
Blustery, boiling winds this mid-morning Saturday here in California’s Central Valley, as we’re on the leading edge of a supposedly massive winter storm just now crashing into the West Coast — so far, we’ve just mostly caught the wind (some right showers last night), but in a bit, maybe by early afternoon, we’ll catch the…
End of another work week is approaching this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley, total darkness comes way too quickly nowadays, and our foggy/overcast coming-winter environment doesn’t improve the situation, either. Weather the weather is the only way, though. As is her self-centered limelight personality, Arizona senator Kyrsten Sinema’s switching the ‘D‘ to an…
Dark-thirty already this early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley. Today was the opposite of forecasts, which does happen, as our outside was sunny this morning, but heavy fog in the afternoon — an exact reversal of what the local weather predictions had indicated earlier, a primarily regular routine. Fog in the AM, burned off…

News today, the search came up with more shit in the closet: Details via The Washington Post, updated this afternoon: Lawyers for…
Fog-bound this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, as we’re dealing with the first seasonal encounter with our infamous, thick-bound ‘tule fog,’ which will grace the landscape for the next couple of months. Wet, gray, and cold for weeks on end — what’s not to love. Although Eltron Husk is working feverously to decimate…
Overcast and gray this early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — a ring of winter in the miserable-looking sky. Meanwhile, back east the T-Rump was hit where it hurts — in the being-a-lying-asshole game. A New York jury this afternoon found two of his companies guilty of 17 counts of tax fraud and other…
My own personal sounds of the times to be more exact. In keeping with the sad passing this past week of Christine McVie, I thought to side-swipe the ugly news cycle nowadays this early-evening Sunday and ping back 44-45 years to the mid-1970s, a time seemingly more innocent (though, it way-wasn’t) with some of the…
Rain and cold, blustery wind this early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, an escapade in another indication the winter season is quickly coming into view — today the first phase of a series of storm systems forecast to sweep the state through the weekend. Summer is now just a wet memory. Our environmental stock…
