War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Musing on writing as a form: A flashback post, and igniting were thoughts generated on the mechanics of writing, as for me, personally. And despite a way-shitload of subject matter, could sometimes feel no real emotional plea to sit at my laptop and formulate the appropriate words. In some way, the literary desire has been…
In continuation of Leroy’s obit from last night, and since perspectives of his passing shift day by day, there will probably/most likely be many more ‘Parts’ to come. Sadness unfolds sometimes bit-by-bit as time creates a sense that it’s all just a dream — yet not. Here is a more up-to-date “Walking Leroy In The Valley”…
Clear with tons of sunshine, though, the air is a bit on the chilly side this late-morning Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — last hurrah for winter as we’re expected to be in the mid-80s temp-wise next week, so we better enjoy it while we can because it’ll be hotter than shit soon enough.…
Rainy and cold this mid-morning Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — a crank in the levers of the real-deadly horror of the T-Rump, supposedly in the middle of winter: Via the Guardian this morning: A run of record-breaking global temperatures has continued, even with a La Niña weather pattern cooling the tropical Pacific. The…
Sad news well-circulated by now — Teri Garr died today at her home in LA. She was 79. She was a sweet-acting, funny actress who nailed a near-60-year career. As I posted about Stevie Nicks’s musical-life stand on abortion a couple of days ago, and how I had a ‘crush‘ on her in the 1970s,…
Sunshine and clear-blue skies just past noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley. Nice weather for an insane presidential election — way-beyond grasping crazy how close this race is even in the presence of someone that’s not only a deplorable, asshole piece of shit, but also freaking nuttier-than-a-fruitcake and freaking slobbering crazy — and it…
Hot sunshine with just a whisper of a faint breeze just short of the noon hour here in California’s Central Valley — we’re still rocking along with a prolonged heat event (now a couple of weeks old) expected to last until this coming weekend. Although cooler today — 109 degrees vs yesterday’s 111 — the…
Breezy and warm this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — a nice respite from the heat-domed boil that has been part of being alive in these parts the last couple of weeks (supposedly, the ‘boil’ moves to the eastern US next week) and we’re scheduled to stay this way for a few days.…
Cool, clear, and sunshine-sweet this near-noon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — a wondrous respite from the ‘heat dome‘ influence of the last couple of days, but it’s reportedly only a short spell as we’re forecast to be back into triple-digit temp territory come Tuesday. Similarly, in defiance of the horror of modern life…
Crystal-clear skies empowering still-brighter sunshine this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Off the normal topics of shitty T-Rump-related news — his ‘hush money‘ criminal trial numbed the senses today again in NYC; he explained to Time magazine just how horrid and undemocratic a second term of his would actually be; among a filthy…
