War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Glaringly hot with just a faint whisper of a breeze this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re just under 100 degrees right now, but forecast to enter the dreaded triple-digit zone tomorrow and boil into maybe 110-to-113 territory by the middle of next week. Welcome to the future. And of the future,…
Breezy and warm this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — a nice respite from the heat-domed boil that has been part of being alive in these parts the last couple of weeks (supposedly, the ‘boil’ moves to the eastern US next week) and we’re scheduled to stay this way for a few days.…
Cool, clear, and sunshine-sweet this near-noon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — a wondrous respite from the ‘heat dome‘ influence of the last couple of days, but it’s reportedly only a short spell as we’re forecast to be back into triple-digit temp territory come Tuesday. Similarly, in defiance of the horror of modern life…
Bright sunshine in hot air just past the noon hour Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — we were hoping to make it to Wednesday before the heat set in this week, but no way. Temps are at triple digits for already today, and not a stir-wisp of a breeze either. Weather the heat with…
Surprised the shit out of me! And to come this fast — I didn’t expect a verdict this quick, maybe tomorrow or Saturday at best. But shit: Big news — the InterWebs are wild (via The Washington Post): ‘Donald Trump has been convicted on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Trump, who was…
Bright sunshine and warmish temperatures this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley. Scrolling through the cycle just a bit ago, I eyed a piece of shit news that although true to form, seemed to touch the sharp edge of reality and the ‘alternative facts‘ colored life of the T-Rump-rolled nowadays. Apparently, he soulfully should…
Sunshine and heavy warmth this early-evening Friday here in California’s Central Valley — maybe even the first unofficial day of summer as temps climb into the 90s and officially (for me) the start of T-shirt weather. Meanwhile, beyond the political horror of the T-Rump and in the shadow of the wonderful courtroom performance of Stormy…
Clear skies and super-bright sunshine this Tuesday late afternoon here in California’s Central Valley — despite the chilled-airish breezes all day (temps in the usually-warmish mid-70s), summer-like shit will supposedly take hold at the end of this week. We’re forecast to be in the 90s by Friday; unless the wind keeps its cool-down effect going,…
Ugly on a Friday — overcast this near noon in California’s Central Valley, yet nothing like the hideous goings-on back East. History’s real-time living sucks. In a for instance: T-Rump this morning being the piece-of-shit asshole with the horrible, shitty irony of being a total-creep of an unfaithful husband (Business Insider): It’s better than a…
I’d never seen this photo from June 2018 — I was then being prepared for surgery and wasn’t too much into scrolling the InterWebs. This the lede from The Hill piece on the pix: ‘Comedian Kathy Griffin and adult-film actress Stormy Daniels posed together in a photo this week raising a middle finger to President…
