War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Rain and warm this early Monday morning along California’s northern coast, encountering another apparent routine weather observation up here. It’s been wet lately, but with it has come the warm. This is winter — we can’t be choosy. Weather has been kind of odd a bit lately, but don’t know if it’s directly tied in…
Cloudy and rainy this Saturday morning on California’s north coast, creating an Old Testament-gothic-like feeling of sadness and depression. Except — just now seen from my back patio, a small hole opening in the thick-cloud layer, sun streams pouring through in awesome Cecil D. Demille fashion, dramatic and soul stirring, even beautiful. Reality, however, burns…
Overcast, quiet and warm this early Friday on California’s north coast — so still crickets can be heard faintly chirping. Just a few days ago, there was frost on the ground and freezing temperatures. In the wake of guns, guns and more guns, and Beyoncé lip-synching, climate change has taken a deep-back seat to all…
In an age of re-occurring extreme weather, odd natural phenomenon and other assorted nefarious events, strange this situation has gone nearly un-reported by the MSM: The growing sinkhole is 1,200 feet south of La. 70 South between Grand Bayou and Bayou Corne. Current estimates have the sinkhole, believed to have been caused by a failed…
Drizzling rain this Wednesday morning along California’s northern coast with more rain expected later today and maybe even into tomorrow. The weather’s not too bad up here, and has a kind of sameness about it just about year round — a June day can be found in January and vice versa. Not way-so for the…
A bit of thin, high overcast this early Thursday morning on California’s northern coast, allowing the near-half moon to glimmer through the clouds — and it’s cold, too. In this particular set-up, I haven’t seen any of the Quadrantid meteor shower which is supposed to be burning through earth’s upper layers this morning, creating a…
Clear and cold this first early morning of a new year here on California’s northern coast, the clear, bright moon hanging up in the eastern sky with just a bit chewed off one side. It’s not all that real-cold, a few degrees above freezing, but the air will sharpened fairly quick the more inland —…
Another wet early-morn here on California’s northern coast and it appears it’s storming all over the US — back east, seven people have been killed, including two little children, as big winter-generated weather chaos churns through the region. And this is only the start to the cold season. In the overpowering ring of ugly in…
Wind is really howling this morning along California’s northern coast, but no rain yet as we’re forecast as 100 percent today. Right now the air feels dry, the noise level high. Meanwhile, the US Midwest is getting thrashed: People traveling early for Christmas in the center of the country will be dashing through the snow…
Overcast with a drizzly fog this morning along California’s northern coast with rain expected some time later today. Winter here is wet, and can get cold, but considering other parts of the country, way-mild. And considering climate, the worse is yet to come — according to New Scientist, weather forecasts for the way-near-future are looking…
