War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear sunshine and a chilly breeze this early Monday on California’s north coast. A bright lull in rainstorms as we’re to expect a decent-sized front to blow through later today and continue through Wednesday. According to the NWS, a cold storm system could drop snow levels to nearly 1500 feet by Tuesday night, adding small hail…
Sunshine, a few fluffy clouds and warm air here near-noon Friday, and the outlook for the weekend onward looks good, though, the rain forecast for next Wednesday has already evaporated, or whatever. Tears trembling down like rain in the news this morning, however, as John ‘The Boner‘ Boehner calls it quits: ‘“Last night I started thinking…
Actual, real rain this early Wednesday, splashing across California’s north coast, and not just here, but this is a supposedly-goodly storm for northern California, bringing some way-needed wet. Rainfall totals along the shoreline are hard to judge, but from weather maps, the wet looks real-wet for all of the region, and some strong winds, maybe…
Amongst the storied, see-saw career of John McCain, his way-most-likely worst moment was hoisting Sarah Palin upon America. In the last nearly-eight years, Palin could be considered the source-epitome of bat-shit crazy in modern life, especially oratory aimed at rational thought. Last weekend, she tried to tap herself into the future presidency of The Donald,…
Faded sunshine/overcast this near-noon Monday on California’s north coast, with a goodly touch of the surrealistic smoke-influenced air that’s been missing the last few days. Although it’s cool here, the NWS has a caution for triple-digit temperatures for the interior. As California churns through a dry-drought, the future is fire — UC Berkeley professor Scott…
Sunshine and warmth this nearly-noon Friday on California’s north coast, another work week gone, the weekend ahead. A fairly-brisk ocean breeze, however, keeps us from actually reaching any stage of ‘hot.’ ‘Calefaction‘ in American politics nowadays resembles Pablo Picasso’s ‘Harlequin Head,’ shown at right (and found here), especially the commentary-background for the artist with the art,…
Overcast and rainy-looking this Monday morning on California’s north coast — apparently, we had some heavy drizzle during the night, which might have been the early arrival for that ‘chance of showers‘ predicted by the NWS for tomorrow and Wednesday. No drought-buster, though. In the wake of freedom celebrations this past weekend, and Greeks voting…
Hazy sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, but from all appearances so far this morning, we might have a full day of clear, or ‘mostly‘ clear skies, and if like previous days, a good wind is due up this afternoon, carrying some sharp, chilled gusts. The NWS calls for ‘mostly sunny‘ the rest…
“Congress makes me vomit.” — Josh Lyman, “The West Wing“ Binged-watched the first four/five seasons of the political fantasy last week via Netflix, though, blowing chunks off a bile-infested Congress is indeed gut-wrenching, Josh’s digestive-system could easily have been reacting to a shitload of public plates full of noxious offerings. Nowadays with horror-shit at every…
Overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, once again the combo fog/cloud routine until probably later in the morning or until afternoon — supposedly considered as ‘windy‘ today, we’ve usually the wind, but rarely designated as such by the NWS. And wind also usually brings sunshine, which is good. Today is also the 45th…
