War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast, some ground fog and really quiet this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — the environment typical for this area. Yesterday about the same. Fog in the morning, clearing with bright sunshine in the afternoon, but coupled with a strong, chilly wind. All’s normal on the Lost Coast. Surfing the news sites this morning…
A bit of an overcast this dark and chilled Monday on California’s north coast as no matter how hard I tried, this is Monday again. Start of another work week, which although appears from this vantage point as long and torturous, but will seemingly pass like the quick-snap of slender, feminine fingers — Friday on…
Clear-as-a-bell and chilly this early Wednesday on California’s north coast with rain apparently gone for awhile — warmer temperatures and sunny skies are forecast for the next week or so. Although we had some strong winds and ugly, dark clouds yesterday, not much in bad weather action — not so for the Bay Area, where…
Overcast with a drizzly rain this early Monday on California’s north coast as we begin another freakin’ work week. No ground shaking, though, at least there’s that. And today is pure-booze day — St. Patrick’s is every asshole’s drinking problem, and a third of Americans planning to celebrate, with more than 80 percent of those clowns…
Windy with drizzling rain this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we await another storm system expected to sweep through the area tonight. This morning’s precipitation is just a continuance of the ‘wet haze’ effect we seem to collect along the Pacific shore. Surfing online news sites reveals no breaking waves of interest —…
Overcast and way-windy this early Friday on California’s north coast as we face the second major rain storm coming today and lasting all through the weekend. Here on the ocean’s edge we don’t get as much rain as just a mile or so inland — yesterday was mostly just drizzle/fine mist with a heavy downpour…
Clear and quiet this early Monday on California’s north coast, with the outside air feeling a bit more on the warmer side than the last few days. Two big rain storms are expected tomorrow night/maybe early Wednesday, and then again on Friday — big storms, but too little for the any drought assistance. Meteorologist Duane Dykema:…
A shrewd business sense in the new age of public munchies — from the UK’s Independent this morning: Thirteen-year-old Danielle Lei set up her cookie stall outside of the clinic in San Francisco and was welcomed by patients and staff. Danielle sold out of her first batch within 45 minutes, according to the clinic, which is…
(Illustration: Vincent van Gogh’s ‘The State Lottery‘ found here). In a deep-ugly vacuum, devoid of sense and sensibility, can anyone hear me scream, even using the most-vile, nasty and most-inappropriate words imaginable — can’t happen when absolutely no one is listening. In this really, really screwed nowadays, people have lost all regard for intelligence and…
Raining and warm again this early Friday (finally!) on California’s north coast as we continue on into winter’s tropical grip. Ha! And this day is supposedly special, made for sad, love-struck nit-twits like one Joel Barish: “Random thoughts for Valentine’s Day, 2004. Today is a holiday invented by greeting card companies. To make people feel…
