War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Friday again! Time is traveling at seemingly breakneck speeds nowadays and here we stand on the threshold of another weekend, with the living warm and overcast up here on California’s north coast — and it can’t come any sooner. This past month has been dramatic — the Boston bombings, the shoot down of a gun…
A gentle spring rain this morning on California’s north coast, quiet and soft like a baby’s bottom — warm, too, like a full diaper. If this was the weekend, good sleeping weather. But it’s only Thursday and it’s just wet. And because of last night, I will face the horror before the weekend: A jackpot of…
Deep ground fog this early Monday on California’s north coast and will most-likely burn off before too long — another ‘normal‘ day fashioning itself. Quiet and still — a facade to the upcoming work week that will most-likely produce more bat-shit crazy. The good, ole US of A is one messed-up place — Shannon Roberts at…
Foggy and a bit on the chilly side this early Thursday on California’s north coast, no stars, no wind, no sound. So quiet, it must be quiet all over the world. Wrong! Much of the news recently has been shittier than dog poo — and a number of these items are headline only stories, with…
High fog, low drizzle this way-too-early Wednesday here on California’s north coast, creating a dull-bummer this morning, despite the speed of the week. Hard to imagine we’re already reaching the weekend’s gravity pull. And internal-combustion engines are not only destroying the environment, but is emaciating time: In the country’s most gridlocked cities, commuters wasted an…
Despite all that I could do, it’s Monday again — the weekend ends way-too quick. Clear skies, however, and quiet here on California’s north coast. And we start another plunge into what’s called ‘making a living,’ which depends deeply on the key word, ‘living,’ and will work our asses off for the next five days…
Clear skies with a fingernail moon hanging in the dark, quiet with just a hint of the rumble in the Pacific Ocean a couple of miles away — up here on California’s north coast we’ve been experiencing some most-delightful weather the last few days. A high of 70 degrees is forecast for today, and the…
Clear and warm this way-early Thursday on California’s north coast — the half-moon still hanging brightly in the southern sky. The weather around these parts the last few days has been wonderful — temperatures up in the middle sixties is near-about a heat wave for us. Weather is just weather, however, if it’s felt by…
A clear, beautiful early Wednesday morning here on California’s north coast, and as the half-moon hangs in the southern sky, the sound of the peaceful Pacific can be heard raging in the distance — only a couple of miles. A scene of ease and tranquility. Maybe in the mind, buddy. Mark Twain, ever the delightful…
Slightly overcast this way-early Monday on California’s north coast, and a bit on the warm side as we begin without further delay, another freakin’ work week. Work, work, toil and trouble — a money chase without real reason. The aim of work in the US the last goodly-half century has been upward mobility, but, yipes! Life…
