War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sunny-bright and windy this early-evening Thursday here on California’s north coast, another good-as-it-gets day, with an added benefit of some sweeping sea breezes. Artwork, Pablo Picasso’s ‘Agonizing Horse’ (found here), is a bite into the horror of nationalism, an optimistic prediction of its downfall. In sequence, today marks 75 years since the D-Day invasion, June…
Sunny and windy this early-evening Wednesday here on California’s north coast — overhead all day were big pieces of fluffy clouds pacing across the sky, the movement creating dramatic, on-and-off different shades of dark to the air. I sat outside for awhile in early afternoon — terrific in a wind-break, pretty warm. too. Dog run…
End of the work week Friday evening here on California’s north coast — sad-gray again all day, and after reports of another high-death-count shooting, the environment became even way-more sad-gray (CNN): At least 11 people were killed Friday after a shooter entered a building of the Virginia Beach Municipal Center and started firing indiscriminately, Virginia…
Close to the end this Thursday evening of another gray-skies day on California’s north coast, with way-very-little sunshine at all. A dog run to Little River Beach in late morning was also fog-bound, damp-breezy even. Somewhat normal weather for the time of the year, but usually fog/low clouds early, then some sun. Not lately, and…
The T-Rump is becoming more and more like an escapee from a mental institution, and today, rasped-out a true stupid: ‘In an ill-tempered series of tweets sent Thursday morning, he said he “had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected.”‘ Of course, a way-short-time later he tried to deny: ‘“You know who…
Overcast and gray this Wednesday evening here on California’s north coast — nice dog run about mid-day at Little River Beach, even experienced a bit of sunshine, which later evaporated into the color ash. Once again, to the left, my favorite pug-side-mug-shot of the T-Rump, titled ‘Basic Shapes,‘ by caricaturist/illustrator Chong Jit Leong (found here),…
Bright sunshine on a windy Wednesday evening here on California’s north coast. Another gorgeous day, with a morning dog-run to Little River Beach both way-enjoyable and warm, too. Apparently, similar forecast for the next few days… Illustration to the left, Pablo Picasso’s ‘The Weeping Woman [La Femme qui pleure]’ (found here), kind of, sort of…
Sunny and fairly-windy this early-evening Wednesday here on California’s north coast — kind of warm, too, even with the breeze coming out of the northwest. A dog-walk at Ma-le’l Dunes about mid-day was sunshine and sharp-blowing sand. We hoofed it all the way to the ocean, and back — dogs loved it, tired me out…
Overcast and a chilly breeze this Tuesday evening here on California’s north coast — been rainy and windy all day. A dog walk this morning on Little River Beach turned way-wet, way-fast. We got drenched, in the chaos of heavy rainfall, we lost the tennis ball for Cowboy’s throwie-thingie. According to the NWS, beyond a…
Seemingly-white sunshine this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, the brightness of the low-hanging clouds appears to bleach the air — warm, too. We did get some decent sun this morning, then on occasion, and now all-the-time all gray. We’re just in a slight respite from a couple of ‘rare‘ atmospheric rivers that’s swept the…
