War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A clear and cold early Monday here on California’s north coast, a few wispy clouds scattered about a whitening sky, otherwise, appears plenty of shine a-coming. Supposedly, rain free until at least next week. In the gritty news cycle this morning, amongst war, politics and the Super Bowl match-up, one stand-out is indeed a pisser,…
Still dark-thirty this Friday morning on California’s north coast, with high, thin clouds giving the bulged half-moon a fuzzy, sleepy, one-eyed appearance — still carrying a chill, though, with a high expected in the mid-50s. Odd, crude shape of the world — there’s an international, second-by-second hostage situation right now in Paris (via USAToday): ‘The…
Cold and dark again — nothing new this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, as we continue to forage into a new year, one day at a time. A lot of holdover shit from 2014, though. One horrible hangover is a way-low regard for politics. Jocelyn Kiley, the Pew Research Center’s associate director of research:…
Overcast-sunshine and maybe a bit warmer, too, this Friday on California’s north coast — clouds keep it down, and the sun warms it up. Domestic chores this morning — opportunity presented itself so I moved my laptop station (should be mobile with a laptop, but I’m not — could be in the 1990s for all…
Bright and full of sunshine this Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast — still a bit on the chilly side, though. White, big-fluffy clouds paints a wind-blown sky looking-like winter. On occasion, when those clouds pass between the sun and my apartment window, the air itself appears to get darker real fast. Also this particular…
Cold and clear, and tons of sunshine this early Saturday on California’s north coast — supposed to be sunny through next week. Wait-and-see, of course. Another story I’d seen a few days ago, and just now comes back to mind — the think-tank RAND Corporation just published its “Blinders, Blunders, and Wars: What America and…
Clear, clean sunshine this Friday morning on California’s north coast — not a cloud in sight, and frost on nearby rooftops, first time this year, I recollect. Thirty-three degrees reportedly within the hour right now, and there’s appearance of some wispy ground in nearby trees — of what can spied from a small back patio…
Ground fog this way-early Tuesday here on California’s north coast — flashback yesterday afternoon and right now with the appearance of the thick mist low-to-the-road. Usually a summer, spring thing. The NWS is calling it ‘patchy fog’ this morning, a seeming truism, on smoke breaks on the back patio, a star or two can be…
Bright, sunny again this Sunday morning — two days in a row with full-tilt shine, but much-colder, though. Chilling in the sun. Today also, second anniversary of the ‘shooting‘ at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. — chilling there tragically eternal Yet, since then ‘school shootings remain common across the United States‘ — 95…
Rain continues, but on this early Friday California’s north coast keeps on floating. Does anyone anywhere seem concerned about this? Between April and June 2014: ‘There were 70 suicides among service members in the active component, 14 suicides among service members in the reserves, and 20 suicides among service members in the National Guard.’ Although…
