War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
An overcast, humid late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley. Infused with gray clouds, the temperature hasn’t been out-of-control hot as forecast last week. The last couple of days have been nice, though the air has been muggy and warm. Reportedly, in the low 90s right now — livable. Not livable or believable: Note for…
Experiencing the experience of an ‘atmospheric river’ this Thursday morning, and it’s exactly what you’d expect — it’s wet. And the bottom-feeder news on the bottom-feeder on one of the worst human beings ever: Here it comes again: Wet be the season, or not, yet once again here we are … (Illustration out front: ‘The…
A beautiful, warm Saturday was the attitude today for the second round of anti-T-Rump/pro-democracy “No Kings” rally here in my local town, Merced, set near the center of California’s Central Valley, and once again an emotional treat to be involved with a crowd calling for America to remain America. Although the event felt less emotional…
Clear, bright sunshine, though, breezy chilly this mid-day Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — weird weather in the wake of last week’s triple-digit temps versus the forecast for a massive heat dome back East.

He does as he is: In daily/hourly reflections on our current situation resulting from numerous news scrolls, the best overview/description of the T-Rump I’ve seen lately came this morning from Paul Campos at Lawyers, Guns, Money: Donald Trump is disgusting. He is physically disgusting: the sight of a nearly 80-year-old man primping himself into a…
Drizzling-misty rain and cold this late afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — wet, chilled weather seemingly for the times. First post in two weeks, and only the sixth since election day. Shitty, but I’ve not had anywhere-near an overwhelming desire to write/postulate/or wax whatever about our current, real-time experience. One which seemingly already…
Saturday evening in California’s Central Valley — shit doesn’t have a weekend off in our nowadays. Some news-angled tidbits: Kamala Harris is ready for a second debate with the T-Rump (NBC News): Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign on Saturday said it would accept an invitation to participate in a second debate with former President Donald…
Gray skies with a hint of blue now and then this late afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley—an environment that supplies an occasional burst of bright sunshine that quickly fades—make for a snap, shadow-dark flicker to the light, fluttering like an old black-and-white movie. The overcast might be our first seasonal encounter with our…
Giant, white-fluffy clouds with expansive gaps of clear-blue skies allow a shitload of bright sunshine this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — temps in a mild mid-70s range as our early-fall weather continues its run. After a summer considered the hottest ever for the state (and maybe the world), a joyous relief. News…
