War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In the course of current events, T-Rump really, really sucks. He has to be one of the worse — if not the actual worse — human beings who’s ever lived. One wonders at the low-form definition of what the T-Rump amplifies: The success of Donald Trump, an asshole who became president, created a fallacy: Americans…
Unfortunately, the last three days I’ve been too slow to give a shit on just about anything — even doomscrolling the news is ho-hum with frightening mental spells — and I couldn’t get my desire up to scale to post shit on the ton of shit taking place all over the shit place. What happened…
A supposedly special day despite reality — what will I find: I’m gonna let it shine I’m gonna let it shine Heaven’s little light gonna shine on me Hey, yeah, hey, yeah Heaven’s little light gonna shine on me (Shine) Shine on me, yeah (Shine) Come on and shine Keeping a shine going is Miss…
Muted-yellow sunshine this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — there’s a shine in the air, but a bit on the mellow side, like maybe influenced by some forest fire smoke. Although fires burning in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks about three hours southeast of my location are now reportedly 55-percent contained, there’s…
Just to escape the doomscrolling for a while and center a post this late-afternoon Sunday on a ‘shine‘ in music and in words, we try to visit a brightness from inside with all the darkness prevailing on the outside. What the fuck is that shit? One of my favorite songs of all time — and…
In the wake of the George Floyd verdict, one of my all-time favorite songs, which comes from one of the most-neatest period of musical memories, the 1990s. Although I grew of age in the English invasion of the late 1960s, and the emergence of the American rock sound of the 1970s, the 90s carried the…
Darkening-gray and chilly this early-evening Monday on California’s north coast. Rain forecast starting Wednesday, running through the weekend, and on-and-off the next 10 days — end of a way-pleasant Indian Summer. John Oliver had a nifty piece last night on our weather reporting, check it out at the Guardian. This has become my theme song:…
Sunny with a chilled wind this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — the summer’s beat continues. This morning, a short visit from an old, longtime friend, one I hadn’t seen, or maybe not even talked to in more than two decades, and the experience was way-pleasant. Odd the years, how fast they pass, and…
Raining and dreary this mid-morning Tuesday on California’s north coast, and the downfall has been continuous since well-before daylight. Supposedly, a pretty-wet storm with ‘widespread rain’ forecast through maybe Thursday, which means there won’t be many sunshine-breaks in there, if any at all. In describing our environment today, the NWS nailed more than just natural phenomenon,…
Bright, wind-blown sunshine this Wednesday afternoon along a small patch of California’s north coast — clear til the weekend, supposedly, then rain on-and-off until the middle of next week. Posting later than normal during the work week — sometimes plotting the narrative along current events can be overwhelming, especially in an age where a shitload…
