War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
News is hurdling along this Tuesday PM: Ed Snowden may now be a “tasty morsel” for Vladimir Putin, and much more; President Obama offered up supposedly a heavy-duty, ‘sweeping plan,‘ to fight climate change, but cited no patience for “Flat Earth Society” nit-twits; and the US Supreme Court reportedly “gutted-out” the 1965 Voting Rights Act —…
Drizzling rain this Sunday morning along California’s north coast as a storm front is making its way across the region — the next couple of days we’re supposed to get almost an inch of rain, though, more will fall in the interior areas than out here along the Pacific Ocean. Some good news, at least,…
Once again it’s already middle of the week — time flies when shit runs supreme. And a lot of it does stick to the wall. Another foggy early morning here on California’s north coast as I wade through the current news cycle, seeking whatever sticks to that proverbial wall and most of it ain’t funny,…
This seemed appropriate: The radar is picking up a line of thundershowers which extends from a point 9 miles NNE of Sicorgus, New Jersey, along a line and 6 miles either side of the line to a point 5 miles SSW of Fonduloch. However, the radar is also picking up a squadron of Russian ICBMs……
Crystal-clear and really, really warm this Saturday afternoon on California’s north coast, and with a temperature right now of 74-degrees, this is the ultimate in summer — yet with summer still a couple of weeks away. So warm, I worked a couple of hours in my little back patio/yard area — cleared some weeks, dug-up…
Up here on California’s north coast this Saturday morning, outside looks deep-overcast, gloomy and gothic — a book by its cover? What you see might not be what it is, yet, at the same time, be exactly what it looks like, only worse. Weather has become more than just background noise. Under the weather, we…
Rain again this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, feels like it’s getting wet all over the world. Especially among the fringe-first, not-so-subtle Republican party, or as GOP underlings say: “I mean, you’ve got to be on Mars to come up with some of this stuff.” No, but apparently being an asshole does help, though.…
(Illustration found here.) Via Climate Progress: Elizabeth Kolbert is one of the most thoughtful climate journalists. Her terrific 2006 book, ‘Field Notes from a Catastrophe: Man, Nature, and Climate Change,’ famously ends: “It may seem impossible to imagine that a technologically advanced society could choose, in essence, to destroy itself, but that is what we…
Overcast and a bit on the chilly side this way-early Friday on California’s north coast — the last couple of days could have been pulled from somewhere in January. Odd weather up here as we sometimes experience summer in winter, and winter in summer, but leave the coast and everything gets warm. As we approach…
Clear and warm this early Thursday on California’s northern coast, with the near-full moon hanging like a white doorknob out over the Pacific Ocean. As we approach the weekend, the speed of life tends to really pick up — today and tomorrow will flow like swift-moving and polluted river water. A surf through the foul…
