War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast and damp this Thursday morning on California’s north coast as we cruise on toward the weekend — now closer than it was yesterday! And yesterday’s gone — a loss of history, boxer Ken Norton, great of the 1970s and the only guy on earth who broke Ali’s jaw, has died at age 70. Norton was…
Drizzling rain this way-early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and the weather matches the mood. Horror once again yesterday via another gun massacre at DC’s Washington Navy Yard — 12 dead and eight wounded. And not a motive in gun-sight, beyond some guy armed to the teeth and pissed about something. The nightmare shits: The…
Here it is — Monday, and there just ain’t no way to get out of it! Crystal-clear this early morning on California’s north coast, and if the fog don’t make a move in the next little while, the sun will come up like thunder – or so they say. And over the weekend, in the…
Finally, it’s Friday! Still overcast and a bit warm this early morning here on California’s north coast as we continue our falling way into the fall season — we did get some sunshine yesterday, but it was well into the late afternoon. Today must be another spoiler. Beyond the Syria entanglements and the “Biblical” flooding…
High overcast this early Thursday morning on California’s north coast and from all indications we’ll continue our most-wonderful Indian summer today with warm temperatures fluttered in sunshine. Twelve years in a memory’s snap — a swift day’s ride into the sunset. Today, of course, is the day after Sept. 11. And that date will apparently never…
High overcast this way-too-early Wednesday here on California’s north coast and mid-week pulls us closer and closer to the weekend. Which is exactly where we want to be — for now. And in the wake of the temperance-flare of President Obama’s anti-Syrian peace-now-but-war-later speech last night, the US can curl up and go fast asleep,…
Clear and cool this early Tuesday along California’s north coast, just another day in the warmth. Trick or twist? US Secretary of State John Kerry walks into a bar — bartender asks: Why the long face? Yep, jokester and nit-twit, Kerry’s bullshit might have saved his boss an ass whopping. Off the cuff: Asked early…
Finally — Friday! A little wispy-overcast this morning on California’s north coast as we prepare to handle the weekend — and we’re way-ready for a warm and sun-splashed two days. And it will be fairly serene, too. Not like this planet we inhabit. If the sniping, backtalk and phoney smiles at the G-20 summit in…
Clear skies and twinkling stars greeted me earlier this Wednesday morning, but it now appears fog is rolling across the north coast of California, but most-likely by mid-day it will be sweltering with hot-boxed temperatures in the low 70s again — the mid 80s predicted for this weekend. A near-enough tropical heat wave! Up here…
Clear sunshine and a chilly breeze this Sunday morning on California’s north coast as the world starts a new week and a new month — both will have its share of bullshit. In the last few hours/days, all kind of crazy, like President Obama backtracking again on Syria, calling on the US Congress to make the…
