War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sunshine right now coupled with a cool, brisk ocean breeze this late-afternoon Friday here on California’s north coast. Earlier mostly cloudy with just a little sun, but who knows… Pablo Picasso’s ‘Harlequin Head,’ (found here), from 1971, sure does resemble President Obama, in a surreal form, of course, and excellent art for a post about an…
Overcast with a bit of chill this Wednesday evening on California’s north coast, and despite that right now, it was overall a real gorgeous day. Ran the dogs at Little River State Beach this morning, sunshine broke the clouds, and warmed the dunes, a splendid time. State-of-silly scenario: ‘“Before our decision to run, my wife…
Bright late-afternoon/early-evening Monday here on California’s north coast, closing another gorgeous episode of sunshine and warmth, but not too warm. Good dog run this morning at Little River State Beach — fog bound at first, then burn-off near-perfectly for a nice time. An opportunity to witness the T-Rump as an asshole douche in just a…
Overcast-gray this Friday evening with occasional faded-yellow sunlight shifting through — back to normal here on California’s north coast. This Sunday four years ago — June 16, 2015 — the T-Rump took that infamous, caricature-like, narcissistic escalator ride in Trump Tower, down he glided/slithered into shameful history. The artwork, ‘Basic Shapes,‘ by caricaturist/illustrator Chong Jit…
Sunshine and hot this early-evening Tuesday here on California’s north coast, balmy it be — the NWS reports 82-degrees right now in Arcata, and will supposedly stay way-warm until dark. Although not really what you’d call ‘hot,’ but for us coast people, it’s ‘sweltering.’ Yesterday from the Northern California Weather Blog: A high pressure ridge…
Still bright and warm this early Monday evening here on California’s north coast, a gorgeous sunshine day with a summer’s heat. Supposedly, 74-degrees forecast tomorrow for Arcata, triple-digits interior temps, and fairly-much the same through the rest of this week. Dog run to Little River Beach was hot… Also today in faraway DC, the US…
Sunny-bright and windy this early-evening Thursday here on California’s north coast, another good-as-it-gets day, with an added benefit of some sweeping sea breezes. Artwork, Pablo Picasso’s ‘Agonizing Horse’ (found here), is a bite into the horror of nationalism, an optimistic prediction of its downfall. In sequence, today marks 75 years since the D-Day invasion, June…
Sunny and windy this early-evening Wednesday here on California’s north coast — overhead all day were big pieces of fluffy clouds pacing across the sky, the movement creating dramatic, on-and-off different shades of dark to the air. I sat outside for awhile in early afternoon — terrific in a wind-break, pretty warm. too. Dog run…
Close to the end this Thursday evening of another gray-skies day on California’s north coast, with way-very-little sunshine at all. A dog run to Little River Beach in late morning was also fog-bound, damp-breezy even. Somewhat normal weather for the time of the year, but usually fog/low clouds early, then some sun. Not lately, and…
The T-Rump is becoming more and more like an escapee from a mental institution, and today, rasped-out a true stupid: ‘In an ill-tempered series of tweets sent Thursday morning, he said he “had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected.”‘ Of course, a way-short-time later he tried to deny: ‘“You know who…
