War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Ashen-gray overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast with fog and cloud together again to produce a dreary-looking morning. Now retired nearly two years, I’ve joined a growing cadre of baby boomers without the finances for a ride into the sunset, or anywhere. We’re in a mob-pickle… (Illustration found here). Old age for me…
Overcast and gray this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — a chance of scattered showers tonight, and maybe some isolated thunderstorms, too, but clear skies due by Thursday. Age is the real weather crusher, not gray clouds, or any rain. I’m a baby boomer — we currently make-up 28 percent of the US population…
Sunshine here this early Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, a startling-bright tempered by a slightly-chilled ocean breeze — wondrous weather, and supposedly will continue until Tuesday, when the NWS says we might get a ‘Slight Chance Showers.’ Smooth sailing until then — Right! Sarcastic statistics — especially for old folks of my peculiar-particular age group.…
Drizzling this afternoon on California’s north coast — a steady, chilled damp in the air, a slip maybe above fog. As a retiree, and a baby boomer, I’m witnessing our long dumb-ass tale approaching an ironic, befuddled end, or something — we’re living longer in deteriorating health with less medical insurance, and we’re not handling…
Way-windy with some light rain this early Thursday on California’s north coast, a hazy hint of light building in the east — waiting for a supposed whopper of a rainstorm, maybe allowing for up to two inches of rain across the area. According to the NWS right now, the forecast every day through Saturday is…
Clear on a Monday here on California’s north coast with the skies still dark and chilly. Weekends move much-too fast and always it seems the first day of the week is the quickest on the draw. Beautiful weather around these parts, though, with Saturday and Sunday both bright and warm; more sunshine expected the rest…
Near-crystal-clear this early Friday on California’s north coast with a jagged half-moon rising late in the far eastern sky. And the sun should come up like cold thunder in a couple of hours. But it’s Friday! On the eve of summer — officially starts tomorrow at 6:51 AM EDT — life in its manifest bullshit…
Clear and bright-as-mirrored sunshine at dawn this Sunday morning on California’s north coast, but the brilliance was quickly replaced by a deep-gray as thick ground fog rolled in from the Pacific — if you don’t like the weather up here, just wait a minute. Coastal regions are like that, staying the same, but constantly changing.…
Once again, cloudy and drizzling rain this Tuesday morning up here along California’s northern coast — quiet and easy. Life all over ain’t so as scouring the news reveals it’s the Same Old Shit causing much of the problems, but in this particular age, there’s really no alternative. As a so-called baby boomer, my age…
