War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear and chilly again this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — mid-week weakly here. No earthquakes during my morning bath, but there’s been two little shakers since I got up earlier, and the movement continues. Fascinating life in the nowadays, huh? War in the Crimea, a big passenger jet still missing after nearly two…
Clear and windy this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — all seems quiet. Appearances, though — the ground is settled here, but a 5.1 earthquake was reported yesterday afternoon off the Oregon coast, about 250 miles from Coos Bay, and way out in the Pacific from my vantage point. Still, the shaker is near…
Drizzling rain and chilly this early Tuesday on California’s north coast with extra precipitation forecast for the rest of the day. Tomorrow and the rest of the week is expected to be rain-free, and maybe a bit warmer than the last couple of days. Are weather warnings/forecasts just another form of ‘“too cute by half“‘…
High overcast, quiet and dry this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and the feel is not unpleasant. Soundless and near-weather-less here, but back in the US southeast, a possible “catastrophic event” via an enormous winter storm bearing down on the huddled masses — another episode of “global weirding” becoming more the ‘new normal’ in…
Key to the latest Eddie-Snowden tidbit: Even more troubling, according to Information’s assessment, is that the top secret “document suggests that the NSA’s […] focus in relation to climate change was spying on other countries to collect intelligence that would support American interests, rather than preventing future climate catastrophes.” (Illustration found here). This newest sketch…
Another off little Eddie’s never-ending entrée-menu (via the Guardian): The National Security Agency and its UK counterpart GCHQ have been developing capabilities to take advantage of “leaky” smartphone apps, such as the wildly popular Angry Birds game, that transmit users’ private information across the internet, according to top secret documents… Some apps, the documents state,…
Clear and chilly this way-too-early Thursday here on California’s north coast — and apparently earthquake weather, too. We had a 4.7 last night, but I didn’t feel a thing — it was located more than 70 miles southwest of where I’m at, but not many locals felt it, just a “short, fast jolt” if anything.…
Thick ground fog blankets the northern California coast this early Wednesday, the second day in a row for such antics and yesterday I thought the deep mist would make the air warmer — wrong! Cold as shit yesterday, and the bite felt way-frigid mainly because of the unseasonably warm temperatures we’d had the previous week,…
We elect presidents in the hope the asshole will handle shit correctly, keep war and pestilence at bay. Some Americans pay more attention than others, and sometimes can actually see the smell — history provides the reality. When I started this blog in 2007, most of the subject matter was unfortunately somehow connected to war,…
Clear and near-balmy this early Friday on California’s north coast as we rally for the weekend. Once again this morning, the moon hangs like a white-bright-eye in the western sky. And speaking of the eye in the sky — President Obama is scheduled for one of the most-important speeches of his see-saw career today on…
