War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Raining on and off, hard-and-easy this early-evening Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — apparently we’re picking some of the remnants/final gasps of the big splasher the last few days from the LA area, plus reportedly there’s a low-pressure system swimming across the valley, dumping snow in the mountains/foothills, and dropping somewhat heavy precipitation on…
Even as the world goes crazy into the looming holidays, the stink of an Orange Turd is felt/heard all over this land. One wonders why this hasn’t played out more openly before: Background/details per Meidas Touch this afternoon: The hashtag #TrumpSmells quickly skyrocketed to the top trending topic in the United States on X after…
I’m 75-years old today, and was freakin’ born on a Monday — WTF! (Image found here.) In the passion of time, today was formed from just yesterday, or maybe 1978 (when I was 30). Seemingly, after I turned 70 in 2018, it’s so like I aged a shitload in only five years, with a surge…
Back in the saddle again! Or onto the laptop again, whichever works! This is my first post after my cataract eye surgery last week at the Fresno VA Medical Center and from all early indications the procedure on my right eye turned out really good. with the examination the day after surgery showed A-Okay to…
I’m scheduled for eye surgery tomorrow at the VA Medical Center in Fresno so it might be a while before I post again here. Vision is somewhat important in writing, even with blog writing, located maybe at the bottom of the literary-totem pole. The procedure I’m to undergo is considered supposedly no big deal (Mayo…
Comfortable warmth in bright sunshine this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — a nice niche point on livable weather on a livable planet. However, maybe not for long. A new, scary study/assessment published today at Science Advances makes the case that a dangerous, accelerating worldwide climate warming isn’t the only really bad environmental…
Quiet sunshine with temperatures in the low 90s (which is another world from anywhere near ‘hot‘) this late afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Another day in the life. And this afternoon, another bit of life action in the fight against COVID — a new booster vaccine okayed by the CDC: Details at The…
Overcast and breezy warm just after the noon hour Friday here in California’s Central Valley — coolest day yet as we’re forecast for temps in the high 80s for today and the weekend as we continue our slide into seasonal change the easy way. Weather is a perspective ingredient centering on location. The same, too,…
While we wait for the slow-moving Senate to vote on the debt ceiling bill passed by the House yesterday — after some idiotic series of votes on amendments to the bill (all to fail) it will be featured for a full Senate vote this evening, with Chuck Schumer vowing to stay in session: ‘“We will…
Crystal-clear skies, a shitload of sunshine, and warming temperatures this Wednesday late-morning here in California’s Central Valley — feels like a slow review of a coming hot-ass summer. Meanwhile in the actual reality of America nowadays — one of the more-shitty, sadly-shocking entities I’ve seen today, and we’re still shy of the noon hour (h/t…
