War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A victory, long-in-coming: Yeah, the Senate. Even more reason the Georgia run-off is so damn important — well, way-way- important to this country’s survival in any ‘normal’ fashion. And Republicans are such hypocritical assholes: Republicans ridiculed the measure as unnecessary when so many Americans need economic relief from Covid-19. “With all the challenges America has…
A major freaky in a freaky year just got much-more freaky: Eleven days ago, the freaky object was discovered by the Utah Department of Public Safety Aero Bureau during a routine wildlife mission via helicopter counting bighorn sheep in the southeastern part of the state and the situation captured the freak of the time. No…
I saw this odd news item today: (Illustration found here). Only in 2020 — via the Guardian this afternoon: Residents of an Austrian village will ring in the new year under a new name – Fugging – after ridicule of their signposts, especially on social media, became too much to bear. They finally grew weary…
Beyond politics and the virus: Climate change is earth’s biggest issue, and is more than just a problem for future generations.The shit is already here. The hottest warming-up spot is also one of the coldest — the Arctic. And it’s getting so warm visitors don’t need long-johns, with a situation grim for the immediate future.…
Sunshine this late-afrernoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — weatherwise for this time of year, about as good as it gets.

As we continue to wait for the final election results, here’s a reminder of a backburner issue that’s bigger than the stove, and most-likely bigger than the kitchen: (Illustration found here). Near-about pushed aside is the real-horror of modern man — climate change. Yesterday, the US offically left the Paris Climate Agreement, an accord adopted in…
Hot but manageable this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — temps have been high-90s this week, but by the weekend, supposedly back into the unbearable triple digits. Heat in the summer time… In a news respite from the unsurprising coronavirus surge (yet still scary as shit), the worsening nasty antics of the T-Rump,…
A black plague of news — Run: ‘Have I got a long way to run?‘ (Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Les Deux Saltimbanques: l’Arlequin et Sa Compagne,’ found here).
Earthquake just a few minutes ago, and according to the USGS, the shaker, located south of Lone Pine, California, registered a 5.8 on the Richter Scale.
