War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
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…
Clear and a bit chilly this early Friday morning along California’s northern coast and a good wrap-on-the-knuckles to start the weekend. We gotta get through this day first — our little, blue planet will get a close fly-by this afternoon by a 150-foot piece of space rock, and although scientific brainiacs say we’re safe, the Russians…
Clear and a bit on the warm side this early Monday morning along California’s northern coast, and the air is apparently so clean, the muffled roar of the Pacific can be easily heard from my back patio. Among the wads of interesting things happening on this planet right now, the most terribly-interesting one is the…
Clear and cold this early Friday morning on California’s northern coast, and although rain has been forecast, hopefully today (and the weekend) will be like this past week — warm and sunny. Not warm and sunny in my brain. As any of the tiny, baby-handful of visitors to this blog already know, I’m working off…
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…
Rain and warm this early Monday morning along California’s northern coast, encountering another apparent routine weather observation up here. It’s been wet lately, but with it has come the warm. This is winter — we can’t be choosy. Weather has been kind of odd a bit lately, but don’t know if it’s directly tied in…
Cloudy and rainy this Saturday morning on California’s north coast, creating an Old Testament-gothic-like feeling of sadness and depression. Except — just now seen from my back patio, a small hole opening in the thick-cloud layer, sun streams pouring through in awesome Cecil D. Demille fashion, dramatic and soul stirring, even beautiful. Reality, however, burns…
Overcast, quiet and warm this early Friday on California’s north coast — so still crickets can be heard faintly chirping. Just a few days ago, there was frost on the ground and freezing temperatures. In the wake of guns, guns and more guns, and Beyoncé lip-synching, climate change has taken a deep-back seat to all…
Ground fog, misty and warm this early Thursday morning along California’s northern coast, a way-direct contrast to the frigid, icebox temperatures back east. My youngest daughter in Minneapolis, Minnesota, told me last night over the phone it was ONE DEGREE outside. And that’s just pure crazy. Also nuts is being offline and depending on the…
Foggy and way-warmer this early Thursday morning up here along California’s northern coast — no frost on the ground today! Yesterday, President Obama unveiled a massive gun-control agenda — and the shit hit the fan from all the crazed people who believe guns are sacred and must be kept close to the breast or else…
