War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Wet and foggy this Saturday morning on Caliornia’s north coast. The thick mist makes for a quiet, almost-surreal silence. As if the world outside is at a standstill. Well, it ain’t. A scant few hours ago, President Obama signed the sequester order, thus, opening up a can of toxic worms, and this morning: “These cuts…
Middle of the week — ya-hoo! Unless it’s that Yahoo, and then it’s get thee to the office you lazy home workers! Clear and cold this morning — the moon slightly less-than-round — and the whole sky along California’s north coast has a full dose of white light outlying life in this land of the not-so-fast lane.…
Tuesday morning cold and clear on California’s north coast with rain predicted for this afternoon and tomorrow, but this is 2013, not 1963 — we’re in the formative stages of the real tempest in a teapot. Weather’s going to be anything but normal. In the final days to Friday, and the crossing of the Rubicon,…
(Illustration found here). Clear and cold this early Wednesday morning on California’s north coast and although we experienced hail, snow flurries and rain yesterday morning, the sun came out later on and life was nice. Supposedly in the midst of a big winter storm right now, here along the Pacific rim weather can be strange…
Clear and a bit chilly this early Friday morning along California’s northern coast and a good wrap-on-the-knuckles to start the weekend. We gotta get through this day first — our little, blue planet will get a close fly-by this afternoon by a 150-foot piece of space rock, and although scientific brainiacs say we’re safe, the Russians…
Clear skies with stars twinkling this Tuesday morning along California’s north coast, and for some reason, the outside environment feels warmer than inside my apartment. Human skin and temperatures baffle the senses. Tonight is President Obama’s state-of-the-union, and all the pre-jazz on the speech seems to indicate an economical crock-a-shit, or how to spin away from…
Clear and a bit on the warm side this early Monday morning along California’s northern coast, and the air is apparently so clean, the muffled roar of the Pacific can be easily heard from my back patio. Among the wads of interesting things happening on this planet right now, the most terribly-interesting one is the…
(Illustration: ‘Lazy Sunday Afternoon‘ by funkymarmalade found here). Late Sunday afternoon here on California’s northern coast — it’s well past dark-thirty on the eastern seaboard where a massive winter storm is grinding halt to normal life. Here the weather’s crystal clear, a bit on the chilly side out in the breeze, but nice and warm…
Clear and cold this early Friday morning on California’s northern coast, and although rain has been forecast, hopefully today (and the weekend) will be like this past week — warm and sunny. Not warm and sunny in my brain. As any of the tiny, baby-handful of visitors to this blog already know, I’m working off…
Cloudy with a chilly wind this Tuesday morning along California’s north coast with some good rainfall forecast for later today and tomorrow. Unfortunately, my next-door apartment neighbor left their back patio light on and I can’t hardly see the sky at all. One twinkling star can maybe be seen way to the west. Well, what…
