War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Thinly overcast this near-mid-day Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — a weather ambiance of just short of fog and leaning weakly toward muted, faded sunshine. Among the festered news today, a nod toward good use of a word game that’s apparently captured the intellects of a shitload of people — the web-based word game,…
After a week — I’m back! First real post in seven days. During this time I went through a final edit of my first novel I’m self-publishing — read about the whole project here, and the post from last Saturday here. Updates on the matter as they become available. And the news cycle didn’t take…
Here this near-mid-day Saturday a notice I’ll be taking some ‘time off‘ from blog writing again to continue with the editing of my soon-to-be-published first novel, “Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona” — my last ‘time off‘ post and background to the whole literary affair can be found here. I’m self-publishing ‘Corona’ gal via Outskirts…
So I’m not alone in not feeling all that happy about just about everything nowadays, not surprising. Except I’ve felt this way for decades, only more intense lately, though, for most Americans this past year has seemed to have been a turn-around bitch. There’s probably enough shit going on ‘out there’ to sadden anyone with…
Daylight fading as we approach early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, a fine finish to a day that started with a deep-gray fog, which burned off quickly into bright sunshine and warm temperatures — another one of those about-as-good-as-it-gets, though, way-early in the year. Weather like this usually doesn’t arrive until at least next…
In dangerous territory as we are right now, even butterflies appear in possible jeopardy: An e-mail from the National Butterfly Center was shared this morning at Daily Kos, explaining the shit-situation, pretty straight-forward and on point: We are writing to let you know the National Butterfly Center will be closed Friday, Jan. 28 – Sunday,…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s mural,’ Guernica,’ found here). Tweaking the news cycle this Wednesday evening is an idiot rhyme: Breyer to retire. Since this morning, all the shit all the time is about Breyer’s announced retirement from the SCOTUS. Good to get some light in an otherwise dark-ass future. And the news will be inundated with…
Man, just tired and bored with all this shit, and this early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, you got to stay hungry. In lieu of senseless, shitty snatches of news, a post-clip of a lesser moment — in the last several days for some reason beyond my comprehension, I’ve somehow been pulled into Bruce…
After performing sub-level work on a continuous basis, Fox News‘ Peter Doocy today appeared once again on the receiving end of reality inspired by obvious sense and truth — Joe Biden slipped into the common-man repertoire in calling out a stupid son of a bitch as a stupid son of a bitch. InterWebs went daffy:…
Another weekend coming to an end this early-evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley, and, too, the first month of a new year is near-about gone already, maybe a preview of just how quickly 2022 will pass, slingshotting us into 2023 with the speed of a finger snap. Time seems to have acquired a warped-sprint…
