War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Cold and clear again this morning on California’s northern coast with more the same expected for the upcoming work-week. In with the unimpeded and out with the dumb-ass. Woke up this morning more on the frustrated side, just observing the obvious. Everyone should be aware of the ‘Danger, Will Robinson‘ syndrome as an insight into…
Using the old phrase most-easily this morning, ‘the sun came up like thunder,’ a clear and quick-explosion of light greeted the day here on California’s north coast — in the wake of last week’s way-wet storm surge, came also the first inklings of winter. Cold, clear and crisp, but without the rain. This area just…
Drizzling rain this morning along California’s northern coast, with a slight touch of some ground fog, but the air feels warm — which is what really counts. Wet and cold don’t mix. This morning’s storm has apparently ended its series run on a quieter note: “The winds will be much lighter than over the weekend.…
My favorite/standard Thanksgiving screed, via Mr. Mark Twain: “Thanksgiving Day, a function which originated in New England two or three centuries ago when those people recognized that they really had something to be thankful for — annually, not oftener — if they had succeeded in exterminating their neighbors, the Indians, during the previous twelve months…
Clear and chilly this early Friday morning on California’s northern coast — nice now but we’re supposed to have about a week’s worth of rain starting sometime today. Weather is part of our living environment, just as is this laptop, but way more violent (as long as you stay off Fox News). As we way-quickly…
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…
Deep fog this early Monday morning along California’s northern coast — nothing unusual here, but along the Eastern seaboard and the Midwest heavy rains will soak people struggling to start the new workweek. However, the way the air has been feeling up here lately, we’re going to most-likely have a much wetter winter ahead. We…
One regret I’ve had (among a whopper list) is that I’ve never been a homeowner, though, for many years I was eligible for a VA loan via the GI Bill. Nowadays owning a home can be disastrous. In 2008, there were more than 3 million home-foreclosure filings, up 81 percent from 2007 and 225 percent…
Another foggy, moist morning here on California’s north coast, though, typical of the region, weather is like a series of smoke and mirrors — clouds of tiny bullshit droplets disguise reality. And judging real time has become a kind of rigged liar’s poker. A gut-grabber on the front-lines of political-spewed pot ash: Yes, one of…
Starry-starry night early this Tuesday morning on California’s northern coast — first time in a long time stars can be seen in a clear sky and hopefully in a little while the sun will come up like thunder from the east. Weather is weird, huh. Always been that way, though, somewhat predictable for the region,…
