War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A sky full of bright sunshine blended with a mild breeze this afternoon on California’s north coast — even with a slight chill, it’s nice. And circulating high on the news cycle this PM appears to come from overseas — the crazy skirmish over some islands in the South China Sea continues to advance in…
High-wispy clouds with a semi-clear sky this early Wednesday on California’s north coast with the moon hanging like a chewed fingernail far to the east. The day before Turkey Day and all is quiet — except everywhere! Life with President Obama is anything but tranquil these days. He visited Hollywood yesterday, raising funds and touring the…
Sunshine and wispy clouds this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast — though, there’s some ominous-darkly, thunderhead-looking clouds to the east over the mountains, us folks next to the ocean are experiencing a nice little respite from fog city. A slight, chilly breeze seemingly coming from the north, but no one’s complaining. And the news…
High overcast again this early Thursday on California’s north coast and real still and quiet, too. We’re now at the vantage point where the weekend can be seen with the naked eye. And speaking of naked, ain’t George Jr. such a dish in the shower? New York magazine ‘overanalyzing‘ the boy’s self portrait: His disembodied…
Clear and bright-as-mirrored sunshine at dawn this Sunday morning on California’s north coast, but the brilliance was quickly replaced by a deep-gray as thick ground fog rolled in from the Pacific — if you don’t like the weather up here, just wait a minute. Coastal regions are like that, staying the same, but constantly changing.…
UPDATE BELOW Clear and chilly again this early Thursday on California’s north coast, the near-full moon hanging brightly out west over the Pacific Ocean. All seems serene. Appearances can be deceiving — in DC, the shit-for-brains bunch accomplished nothing more than raising the level of being “scoffed” and rebuked. Although our government is open again,…
Barack Obama is a contradictory marvel of twisted politics and illusion. Blowing into office chanting of transparency and openness, Obama now five years later could put Dick Nixon to shame — a new report on press freedom and the White House reveals a real-opaque reality to actual life, an administration disdainful of journalists: “This is…
In the midst of the most-current, pure-crazed US government debacle, a murderous example from most-recent history, most-horribly won’t go away — 107 people were killed in Iraq yesterday in just a few incidents: The killings, which also included attacks on journalists and anti-extremist Sunni fighters, have raised fears that the country is falling back into the…
High overcast this early Thursday morning on California’s north coast and from all indications we’ll continue our most-wonderful Indian summer today with warm temperatures fluttered in sunshine. Twelve years in a memory’s snap — a swift day’s ride into the sunset. Today, of course, is the day after Sept. 11. And that date will apparently never…
Clear skies and twinkling stars greeted me earlier this Wednesday morning, but it now appears fog is rolling across the north coast of California, but most-likely by mid-day it will be sweltering with hot-boxed temperatures in the low 70s again — the mid 80s predicted for this weekend. A near-enough tropical heat wave! Up here…
