War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Set for absolutely no kings for Americans — keeping up with the horror day by day. This near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley finds us face-to-face with the building disaster that is America (and the world, too!) as we look down the scope of history to see turds gushing toward our situation. Doomscrolling used…
Overcast skies with a semblance of rain-to-come this late-afternoon Saturday in California’s Central Valley. Rain was forecast for today, but so far we’ve been high and dry. Maybe later: The annual White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner is tonight — shit ain’t the same in T-Rump time, making it sour-like to squeeze humor out of…
Quiet sunshine with temperatures in the low 90s (which is another world from anywhere near ‘hot‘) this late afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Another day in the life. And this afternoon, another bit of life action in the fight against COVID — a new booster vaccine okayed by the CDC: Details at The…
Overcast and breezy warm just after the noon hour Friday here in California’s Central Valley — coolest day yet as we’re forecast for temps in the high 80s for today and the weekend as we continue our slide into seasonal change the easy way. Weather is a perspective ingredient centering on location. The same, too,…
Closing in on sunset Saturday here in California’s Central Valley, bringing approaching darkness to another gorgeous day, though, some deep, wet fog earlier this morning was a bit problematic weather-wise, but it turned into a best-as-it-gets episode for this time of year. Rain forecast for tomorrow — however, just ‘showers‘ predicted, no heavy downpour or…
Occasional bright sunlight amidst thick, fluffy-white clouds this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, our second-in-a-row full day in a long time of luminous shine without any kind of a hint of rain. Although apparently, it did rain last night, the feeling today is near-awesome. Meanwhile, some shitty news — yesterday my daughter tested…
Fading sunshine and a lingering chill this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — approaching the end of another beautiful day embedded in a comfortable autumn season. First, a couple of updates from yesterday’s posts on war and a shitty former American president. Although I wrote about the Russian missile that struck Poland and…
Despite all the vaccinations and safety protocols, the COVID virus has turned into a bitch, apparently mutating into various variants that make it hard for everybody/anyone to escape its touch. Here in California (as in many parts of the country), we’ve got a current surge that might top last winter’s Omicron outbreak. What’s happening? Kent…
Odd how certain subjects flow in the news cycle — I did a shitload of posts on Ukraine for a long while, then SCOTUS popped America a few times upside the head of freedom (plus an influx of gun massacres and cruel, general-tom-ass-foolery of Republican politics), and Vlad Putin’s horror-war journey was pushed to a…
Windy and warmish this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — another day in a series this week in seemingly a last grasp of comfortable weather before the seasonal heat-blast. We’re forecast for high temps ahead, maybe into triple-digits by the middle of next week as a preview to a hot-as-shit summer that’s waiting…
