War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Deep-blanket fog, bordering on drizzle this Sunday morning on California’s north coast, but unlike a shitload of other places all over this anxiety-riddled, ridiculous world, in a little while we’ll get sunshine and warmth. Technically, the weather people term it ‘Partly cloudy,’ but in reality, it’s as good as it gets — a few clouds…
Overcast and way-dark this early Friday on California’s north coast as we look forward to the weekend, now within earshot. Hairy week past with airplanes falling out of the sky at an alarming rate — blown up or just blew up, a horror by any other name. And what’s really hairy is the misplaced fountain…
Foggy and chilly this way-too-early Monday on California’s north coast as the weekend officially comes to an abrupt end without much fanfare. An ugly morning is a Monday. And speaking of pure ugly — on Friday, US House GOPers passed a ludicrous, dumb-ass business tax-cut measure ‘with no effort to pay for or offset that…
Another normal early-morning here on California’s north coast — foggy and a bit warm even for the middle of the work week, though, this particular Wednesday is sucking up this nation’s birthday. Friday is the famous July 4 — our Independence Day (with aliens, too, but of the Hispanic variety) — but Arthur might strike…
Clear on a Monday here on California’s north coast with the skies still dark and chilly. Weekends move much-too fast and always it seems the first day of the week is the quickest on the draw. Beautiful weather around these parts, though, with Saturday and Sunday both bright and warm; more sunshine expected the rest…
Today is a personal anniversary of sorts — on this date in 2007, I walked into Cask & Flask Liquors, located in the McKinleyville Shopping Center, right next to the Safeway grocery store, in McKinleyville, California — about two miles, maybe less, from the Pacific Ocean — and applied for a job. Nothing unusual so…
Near-crystal-clear this early Friday on California’s north coast with a jagged half-moon rising late in the far eastern sky. And the sun should come up like cold thunder in a couple of hours. But it’s Friday! On the eve of summer — officially starts tomorrow at 6:51 AM EDT — life in its manifest bullshit…
Clearly not an optimistic view of the near-future — last week, from the best news source up here on California’s north shoreline, the Lost Coast Outpost: When a security alarm went off a little after 10 p.m. on Saturday, May 10, at Trim Scene Solutions, she says, there were no Humboldt County Sheriff deputies available…
Overcast with a bit of drizzle this early Thursday on California’s north coast — and warmer than expected as yesterday afternoon and evening were pretty chilly adding to the wet air. We’re here now, though, that’s something. And something, too, was last night with no tsunami warnings from a 6.7 earthquake right off Canada’s Vancouver…
Ground fog and a little warm this way-too-early Thursday on California’s north coast as we cruise toward the weekend. And tomorrow’s Friday, so we ain’t that far away. Up this early, I down a cup of coffee before my eyes are even open. In the mid-1990s, the revelation of coffee-power changed my mornings and was…
