War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear and chilly this Friday morning here on California’s north coast — and, did I mention it’s FRIDAY! Time does travel fairly fast it seems, feels like this time a week ago. The World Meteorological Organization in Geneva reported this week 2013 will end up being the seventh warmest on record. WMO secretary-general Michel Jarraud: “All…
Clear, but cold and chilly this way-too-early Monday here on California’s north coast — the weather is pointing in the right direction. Winter’s on the way, or something else, more weird. An environment that’s changing is bringing together unlikely peoples. A few days ago, two people were attacked by polar bears in Churchill, Manitoba, mainly due…
High overcast and light ground fog this early Wednesday on California’s north coast and the weekend is now within the mind’s eye sight. As we used to say a shitload of years ago, ‘Keep on truckin’.’ But to where? This morning, the news is jammed with results from yesterday’s off-year elections — more-than-fat-headed Chris Christie…
Clear and cool this early Monday on California’s north coast and the start to a fresh work-week, and a sense of no telling what’s going to happen next. Quote of the weekend — from a new book, “Double Down: Game Change 2012,” about last year’s presidential campaign, and via the Washington Post: Obama meditating on…
Another Friday — yippee! Clear this early morning on California’s north coast and in the words of the lady at my bank yesterday: “Tomorrow’s the first of November. What’s up with that?” Yeah, what’s that shit? Time appears to be galloping hard toward some shining point in the way-near future, but what point is that…
Some more bad noises today on the melting Arctic: “And it is really in the past 20 years that the warming signal from that region has been just stunning,” he added. “All of Baffin Island is melting, and we expect all of the ice caps to eventually disappear, even if there is no additional warming.” Hottest…
Foggy and quiet this early Sunday — California’s north coast right now in the faint light is enveloped in a deep-gray moist of a morning. And not to mention, way-gothic. Fits the mood all-around. I’m pretty-much tired of horrific, or near-horrific accidents involving fossil fuels, and there seems to be one every few days — the…
Clear and a bit on the chilly side this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we addle on toward the weekend — which isn’t really anything other than a two-day work shutdown. And, by the way, a longer version is saddled upon the US right now — officially in the 10th day of hating…
Clear and windy this early Wednesday here on California’s north coast as we continue on down the path toward a mega-not-magnanimous disaster — nine days within a vat of stupid. Top-hat John Boehner is crying President Obama and Democrats are attempting to “annihilate us” Republicans, though, he and his nasty-faced buddies are making a most-creative effort…
(Illustration: ‘Sunset Over the Arctic‘ found here). Odd the weather here this Saturday afternoon along California’s north coast — crystal-clear, and for this late in the day, still way-warm at 76 degrees, seemingly a stock-weather feature for this past week. First, a bite-like cold in the morning, but fairly-quickly switching on the warm-up button by…
