War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Here we are smack-dab in the middle of the week already — routine overcast and chilly on California’s north coast this morning as we descend toward the weekend. Doing a work week is really, really getting old. So, let us abandon for just for a moment a 22-year-old actress beating the bloody shit out of…
Bright and sunny this Saturday afternoon on California’s north coast, a brisk wind on the chilled side keeps the air a little crisp. Due to a lot of other more-glamorous news topics the last few weeks, I don’t get into looking at oil and gas-pump-price bullshit very much, but some indications are we might be approaching…
Overcast this early Friday on California’s north coast and here we are again on the cusp of another weekend — can’t get here soon enough. Time flies even when you’re doing absolutely nothing — there are two, and only two, major political parties in the US and one of those is nothing more than a…
Once again it’s already middle of the week — time flies when shit runs supreme. And a lot of it does stick to the wall. Another foggy early morning here on California’s north coast as I wade through the current news cycle, seeking whatever sticks to that proverbial wall and most of it ain’t funny,…
Cloudy, drizzle and fog — another Sunday here on California’s north coast, though, the normal pedigree for this neck of the woods. Started out about the same yesterday, but near-noon sunshine came and everybody went home happy. Reportedly, we’re in for temperatures in the 70s tomorrow, and maybe after see-sawing during the week, temps climbing…
Rain again this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, feels like it’s getting wet all over the world. Especially among the fringe-first, not-so-subtle Republican party, or as GOP underlings say: “I mean, you’ve got to be on Mars to come up with some of this stuff.” No, but apparently being an asshole does help, though.…
Bright and sunny this Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast — big weekend in Arcata, a little town just south of us and home to Humboldt State University, with what’s called the Kinetic Grand Championship, a crazy two-day event of homemade/man-propelled motion machines. See some of the participants at Lost Coast Outpost. As a steadfast…
Overcast and a bit on the chilly side this way-early Friday on California’s north coast — the last couple of days could have been pulled from somewhere in January. Odd weather up here as we sometimes experience summer in winter, and winter in summer, but leave the coast and everything gets warm. As we approach…
Foggy and overcast this way-too-early Monday with another work week staring me straight in the face — the only consolation is it will be Friday again before anyone really notices. Time seems to slow just a hair on the weekend, then blasts off again into the week. Little-known off-the-wall factoid: The average respondent in the…
Despite all that I could do, it’s Monday again — the weekend ends way-too quick. Clear skies, however, and quiet here on California’s north coast. And we start another plunge into what’s called ‘making a living,’ which depends deeply on the key word, ‘living,’ and will work our asses off for the next five days…
