War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast once again this morning on California’s northern coast and seemingly warmer, too. In this high-level fog, the air is quiet and still. Nature, however, is beyond calm. If we can move beyond the getting-more-stupid phase of US politics (i.e., Mitt Romney) and into the most-dreaded of upcoming events most are only aware on a…
What a difference a day makes. Yesterday was Sept. 11, 2001, eleven years later, and although US peoples mourned a horrible tragedy, the real shit-kicker is what’s happened since — the US and the world is at a nasty crossroads and with all the remembrances history has become a lie. The problem is we Americans…
Another way-quick end to the workweek and this morning along California’s northern coast is about like yesterday, and the day before, and the day before — overcast and moist. Yesterday was fog-laded and chilly — the sun made brief appearances, but was crowded out by clouds. Forecasts for this part of the US via climate…
Overcast and a bit windy this morning up here along California’s northern coast, but who’s to know how the day will be — not I. Yesterday, the fog didn’t burn off until mid-afternoon and the air carried a chill with not much warmth coming off the sunshine, unless one found a wind-break. Weather’s gettin’ weird.…

In this era of pure nonsensical bullshit: Tell all the truth but tell it slant, Success in circuit lies, Too bright for our infirm delight The truth’s superb surprise; As lightning to the children eased With explanation kind, The truth must dazzle gradually Or every man be blind. — Emily Dickinson, ‘Tell…
Urban Word of the Day: Successorize Noun: Item of clothing or apparel used to make you look or feel more successful In the way-near future, clothes and success will constitute whether one lives or dies — forget the business world, the dress will be for climate change. With news this week satellite images are showing…
Under cloudy skies this morning up here along California’s northern coast, but still real cool — not so everywhere. One weather/environment event this week that went near-completely under the radar — hot rain in Saudi Arabia of 109 degrees Fahrenheit, the highest known temperature that rain has fallen at, anywhere in the world. Mankind cannot…
(Illustration found here). A deeply-beautiful afternoon on California’s northern coast — finally after what’s seem like weeks and weeks of rain in various forms, so far, appears like we will get a full-day’s worth of sun, and, there’s not much wind, so it’s about as good as it gets up here. A lawn mower bangs…
Weather tends to pop its now-ugly head into modern life on a much-more frequent schedule than just a few short years ago — yesterday afternoon tornadoes cleared a chaotic path through the Dallas-Fort Worth area, with video showing tractor-trailers being tossed around like toys. CNN meteorologist Sean Morris estimated the tornadoes were EF1 or EF2…
