War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Tuesday morning cold and clear on California’s north coast with rain predicted for this afternoon and tomorrow, but this is 2013, not 1963 — we’re in the formative stages of the real tempest in a teapot. Weather’s going to be anything but normal. In the final days to Friday, and the crossing of the Rubicon,…
High overcast this early Monday morning on California’s north coast with no stars and a chilly wind. The last few days have been near-gorgeous, but we’re expecting a fairly-good size storm for Tuesday or Wednesday and sunshine might be gone awhile. Oil and water don’t mix, and so should it be with climate change as…
Cloudy with a chilly wind this Tuesday morning along California’s north coast with some good rainfall forecast for later today and tomorrow. Unfortunately, my next-door apartment neighbor left their back patio light on and I can’t hardly see the sky at all. One twinkling star can maybe be seen way to the west. Well, what…
Clear and a bit chilly this early Tuesday morning along California’s northern coast as 2013 continues to move at a fairly-rapid pace into a new year. History is right now. Just a side note on Aaron Swartz — he was facing decades in prison: It should be noted that Swartz faced such a stiff sentence because…
Winds are howling just a bit this early Tuesday morning along California’s northern coast, though nothing like last week, the noise is still an ominous weather rattling. And rain is now heard tapping, tapping against the roof, trying to build to the onslaught of those previous storms, but forecasters prediction nothing like it — some…
One wonders at the cost, and the why: Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner broke the speed of sound — at one point hitting Mach 1.24, according to a team official — during his record-setting jump from 128,000 feet Sunday over southeastern New Mexico. This the wonder: Gas prices remain 40 cents above year ago prices and…
Clear skies again this morning, seemingly-like creating a trend — now three days in a row where I can actually see the sun come up without the silly fog. And here on California’s northern coast, the sound of the nowhere-peaceful Pacific can heard roaring through the air. A check on the news seems to produce…
Overcast and a bit windy this morning up here along California’s northern coast, but who’s to know how the day will be — not I. Yesterday, the fog didn’t burn off until mid-afternoon and the air carried a chill with not much warmth coming off the sunshine, unless one found a wind-break. Weather’s gettin’ weird.…
Once again, early morning here on California’s northern coast and another quiet beginning to the day — not much sunshine lately, except for some rays spattering across the landscape in the middle of the afternoons. My first gape at the news seems to find the same — not much light amongst the overcast. Beyond Prince…
Quiet and still this wee-early Tuesday morning on California’s northern coast, creating a false sense of all is well with the world. When it ain’t. Of course, the entire world is overwhelmed by the curious Mars landing — $2.6 billion worth of excitement, while down here on planet ground-level, the costs of everything seems to…
