War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In just more than week, it will be eight years since moving to Humboldt County from down on California’s Central Coast — what a trip a couple of days make. As a recent retiree, I’ve discovered this place ain’t bad — and apparently while working it ain’t bad, either. This morning I browsed the US…
Overcast still going on into the late afternoon here on California’s north coast, with some added patchy ground fog, only sunshine so far a hazy, faded-yellow glare shifting the gray every so often — a damp, shoreline chill, too, added to the mix. One item I haven’t been keeping up with in the last weeks…
A high-overcast fog blanket still lingers here this afternoon on a small patch of California’s north coast, creating a deep-gray sky, and although there’s some time left, sunshine might not make an appearance today. At least since this morning, the ground portion of fog has disappeared, losing that low-lying, moist-clinging feel to the air —…
Thick ground fog this early Monday on California’s north coast, and the start of another work week, but not really for us asshole-retirees, since we’re already cruising in a thick ground fog. Not necessarily metaphorical weather-speak, either. Yet in reality, maybe more of a drift, less of a cruise. And maybe, too, more of bewilderment…
Overcast with a bit of chilled drizzle this early Monday on California’s north coast as we await a decent-sized rain storm to come our way, probably crossing near the shoreline at this precise moment — maybe. The NWS expects ‘heavy rain‘ for today and tonight, culminating possibly with 1.5-inches of rain or more during that…
Clear skies and chilled temperatures this early Thursday on California’s north coast, and another day in the life. In this particular case and in this particular life, seemingly I’ve picked up some bad shit from somebody/somewhere this week, and awoke this morning feeling like the before-mentioned shit — ‘come down‘ with a touch of a…
Thick fog this early Sunday here on California’s north coast, especially cold and damp near the ground, and although the NWS calls it ‘patchy fog,’ there’s not much patch in all that gloomy gray. Into the smoky-silver fog comes time travel. If I went back exactly 24 hours from this moment, what time would have…
Another morning here on California’s north coast — in this instance, a Friday. A hazy-white glow peaks light from the east, filtered by high, wispy clouds, and so far a weather-facsimile from yesterday. Warm the word just about all day Thursday, so maybe we’ll get some of the same today — all way-good. And further…
Overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and the NWS claims right now we’re just a few degrees above freezing — before sun up, clear and cold, which morphed into the current cloudy and cold. Early riser I am, but that’s a sleep habit, nothing to do with the actual outside temperature — idiot!…
Drizzling rain this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — we’re supposed to catch a short break this afternoon and tomorrow before another river of rain is expected by Thursday and on through the weekend. Meanwhile, Boston had the heaviest one-week snowfall in its history, more than 40 inches — average for a whole winter, 47…
