War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
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…
(Illustration found here). A warm and bright Monday afternoon on California’s north coast. Despite temperatures only in the mid-50s around noon-time, the lack of any decent wind fostered a much-more-warmer feeling. Walking the dogs earlier out on Little River State Beach the air felt actually, ‘hot.’ Even if using that word too soon in the…

Just a bit above freezing this late-afternoon Monday on California’s north coast — and after a decent rainfall this morning, I took the dogs out to Samoa Beach, right-near that upside-down/half-buried in-the-sand red Chevy pick-up truck (see Lost Coast Outpost). And during our walk, we…
(Illustration found here). Rainy and chilly this Sunday evening on California’s north coast — the environment of dreary. Our only home is self-destructing — our only outside is changing rapidly from livable to unlivable. Via today’s Time: President Donald Trump mocked climate change again on Sunday, just days after the Department of Defense released a…

Worse than vile, or just an asshole motherfucker — the T-Rump tweeted this morning: Billions of dollars are sent to the State of California for Forest fires that, with proper Forest Management, would never happen. Unless they get their act…
(Illustration found here). Climate change issues can’t be shouted enough — another nasty view of our rapidly changing world: New studies and reports issued this week at a major Earth sciences conference paint one of the bleakest pictures yet of dramatic warming in the Arctic and Antarctica. Alaskan scientists described to The Associated Press Tuesday never-before-seen…
(Illustration: Artwork from the UN’s International Children’s Painting Competition, found here). Raindrops and gray — a wet-touch with color for this early-evening Sunday here on California’s north coast, the air all day clipped by some way-brisk wind — reportedly, should be sunny tomorrow, at least that’s what WunderBlog forecasts. More rain supposedly on Tuesday, followed by…
(Illustration found here) Bright-sunny Wednesday here on California’s north coast, a bit of chill was in the ocean breeze, though, and now near evening-dark, there’s a bite to the cool — clear usually means cold, overcast and rainy, warmer. According to WunderBlog, we’re to expect sunny days until Sunday, then a forecast for rain, and…
Foggy and chilly on this early-evening Monday on California’s north cast — a much different situation here than in some parts of the state. Wildfires are screaming up and down California — two big blazes are scorching the Southland — celebrities, movies stars lost bigly in Malibu — and meanwhile up north in Butte County…
Sunshine, and Whoa! Mid-morning Saturday finds this little stretch of the northern California coast sitting at 91.1-degrees, at least according to the WunderBlog‘s local weather thingy, and for us, that’s a-boiling. Or just weird: the NWS has us along the shoreline under a rare ‘Heat Advisory‘ until 7 PM today. The weather guys also suggested…
