War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A pleasant surprise this afternoon at my local Union 76 station — regular is at $3.69 a gallon, down six cents in three weeks, the last time I put gas in the Jeep. Despite a suicidal side-effect, we’re loving our oil. From the New York Times on Monday: The report predicted that the increase in…
Some ground fog and chilly air this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and although there’s a chance of rain this afternoon, we all hope the day will end like this week, so far — sunny and warm. The white stuff, however, is at record levels. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported Monday the…
Monday again and there ain’t much I can do about it — chilly and a bit overcast this morning on California’s north coast with a near-full moon (Waxing Gibbous, 99 percent illuminated) hanging majestically out over the Pacific Ocean. Weather is returning to about normal for these parts, but some US residents are still feeling…
Cloudless skies this afternoon on California’s north coast and abundant sunshine — but still a bit cold, but nothing like the past few days. We’re at about 53 degrees right now with a low tonight forecast to be well-above freezing. Enough weather, already. In the precarious events-cycle this PM, a quick surf indicates a semi-slow…
Despite all my crying and gnashing of teeth last night, it’s Monday morning! Again! And again, cold and clear on California’s north coast with today finally, the deep-cold of the past week might start to end — we’re at about 26 degrees right now on the way to a forecast high of 50, and tonight…
Cold still this Saturday morning on California’s north coast, but there’s much sunshine, and, much observed roof ice. This is the ice, though, that pisses: A former Goldman Sachs trader was sentenced on Friday to nine months in prison for wire fraud by a judge who took sharp aim at both Goldman and the government,…
Gray, cold and wet this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast — the weather guy calls it a “light rain mist,” and although that’s true in actual respects, a 43-degree temperature and a chilled wind makes it seem much heavier, cold-heavier. And on occasion, the rain becomes not a mist anymore, real rain, pattering heavily…
Clear and really, really cold this early Thursday on California’s north coast, and yesterday we had some record low temperatures, but still not as chilly as other parts of the Western US. For instance, Texas had one drastic weather swing: Wednesday’s official high in Dallas was 80. Thursday night brings freezing rain, sleet and a…
Way-bright sunshine chilled with a northerly wind this afternoon here on California’s north coast, as we hunker down for a hard-cold snap the next couple of days, temperatures forecast to dip to freezing and below, most-likely a side-effect off that big storm churning up north. Winter Storm Cleon — a “helter-skelter storm” already dumping 30…
Clear and more than chilly this Tuesday morning up here on California’s north coast, and it seems we’re in for some cold — the high today is expected to be less than 50 degrees, and we’re in for a hard-freeze watch for the middle of the week. After some most-gorgeous days lately, the ugly winter…
