War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
High overcast and quiet this early Friday on California’s north coast as we come to the end of week one in the end-of-the-year blow-fest, and we await the coming of 2014. Right now, we’re at a balmy 46 degrees, hopefully working our way up to the low 60s some time later. And did I mention…
Crystal-clear and cold this Thursday morning here on California’s north coast — did the same thing yesterday, but deep-coverage fog right before sunrise warmed things up a bit. Despite the tranquil weather sense here on the Left Coast, winter storms are still pillaging some parts of the US, especially in New England where 24,000 people…
High overcast and cold this Friday morning on California’s north coast, a bit windy, too. Despite a grueling week, it’s almost over and the sanity-belt of those 48 weekend hours lies not-quick-enough ahead. Health shit again last night, this morning — can’t sleep and it feels as if I’ve been up since Monday. An emotional…
Clear and chilly-cold this early Friday on California’s north coast as we power-up for the weekend. Right now, we’re at 45 degrees and on the road to a balmy 60 by Sunday — the ice age has passed, for now. And in the contradictory weirdness of climate change, odd is normal (via Climate Central): The…
Haze filled with rain blankets California’s north coast this Monday afternoon — light sprinkle it might appear at first feel, but this type precipitation is way-deceiving — it will soak you to-the-bone in seconds. And it’s a bit on the chilled-side, too. So the effect/affect is not altogether pleasant. In the news this PM, an…
Crystal clear with bit of a chilled breeze this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast — not a wisp of a cloud in sight. Typical day for these parts, bright sunshine with a little bite to the air. Politics seems the front-burner news item — President Obama dashed again upon the rocks of public disfavor,…
Raining and cold this way-too-early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and the weather continues to match the season — up here, this state of the atmosphere is pretty normal, except with the equinox of crazy. Nuts like the NSA — Google security engineer Brandon Downey didn’t mix words: “Fuck these guys.” Even as the US…
High overcast again this early Thursday on California’s north coast and real still and quiet, too. We’re now at the vantage point where the weekend can be seen with the naked eye. And speaking of naked, ain’t George Jr. such a dish in the shower? New York magazine ‘overanalyzing‘ the boy’s self portrait: His disembodied…
Clear and chilly again this way-early Wednesday on California’s north coast, the moon hanging like a bright fingernail in the eastern sky. This morning some ugly from DC — both came yesterday via the heavens. First, the first Pakistani victims of a US drone strike testified in Congress. Rafiq Rehman and his two children, Zubair,…
Clear and chilly this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — might be the same set-up as yesterday when fog rolled in just before dawn bringing some cold temperatures. But as in the nature of things, sunshine arrived about mid-day and the afternoon was gorgeous. Who knows. President Obama seems to know the nature of…
