War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Drizzling rain this Wednesday morning along California’s northern coast with more rain expected later today and maybe even into tomorrow. The weather’s not too bad up here, and has a kind of sameness about it just about year round — a June day can be found in January and vice versa. Not way-so for the…
Cloudy and wind-chilly this early Monday morning here on California’s northern coast, the first ‘real‘ day of the new year. Although technically, last Tuesday was the first and Wednesday the first ‘free‘ new day of the year, today marks the start of no holidays or other nefarious shit from interfering with our quest for life,…
Wet, chilly and highly-gothic here on California’s northern coast this Saturday evening, drizzling rain since early on, creating a sad, thoughtful sense of purpose. Surfing the news sites seeking attention for my seemingly near-insatiable, up-to-the-second addiction for current events, apparently life seemingly has flat-lined as we crawl out from under the hideous holiday season —…
Overcast, and for an early January morning, a bit on the warm side, considering this is supposed to be winter. So much for the weather! Yesterday was payday at the liquor store I manage, and motherf*cker, was it a piss-ant, sad and depressing chore. (Illustration found here). We’re a rarity — payday is weekly, instead…
Another clear and cold morning here on California’s northern coast and if the last couple of days are any indication, this one too should turn out pretty nice. Weather up here is hard to gauge — we can summer days in January and winter days in June. Life is a bit loco up here —…

The word, “weather,” will be one of the words used to describe the dying 2012, not only in the meteorological format, but also in…
Crystal clear and covered in bright sunshine this early Sunday morning along California’s northern coast and on this extreme-last Sunday of 2012, the future beckons with skeletal fingers. And we’re hanging by the short hairs: The accelerating cycles of capitalism’s creative disruption have reached a new velocity with the basic form known as stock trading.…
So wet and windy this early morning here along California’s northern coast, I feel like it’s wet and windy all over da world. Just a feelin’… And due today being today, everything is coming up doomsville: “The odds go up that we go over the fiscal cliff,†said Representative Rob Bishop of Utah, a Republican.…
Rain pattering down here this morning on California’s northern coast with a forecast scheduling thunderstorms and cold winds — same as yesterday, but here at the edge of the Pacific, Monday turned out clear, sunny and kind of warm. The rain today is expected to be heavy at times, even with some hail thrown-in for…
