War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear and chilly-windy this Friday evening on California’s north coast — nice and comfortable shoreline weather abaft the Redwood Curtain. Not nice and not comfortable is the T-Rump — lack of any fiber whatsoever. The Rashida Tlaib/Ilhan Omar cluster-fuck is completely ludicrous and just displays an axis of assholes, and even with Israel, which is…
Bright and chilly this early-evening Thursday here on California’s north coast. After some pretty-deep fog, the skies cleared onto a really beautiful afternoon. When the dogs and I arrived at Ma-le’l Dunes for our walk/run the area was coated in fog, but those grays were shortly thereafter softly burned-off into gentle, surrealistic colors. Another way-wonderful…
Windy, sunshine-filled late afternoon Tuesday here on California’s North Coast — good weather off good climate. Speaking of which, this exchange during a Humboldt County Board of Supervisors meeting last February on a just-released North Coast climate assessment: Third District Supervisor Mike Wilson suggested that Humboldt County could be where “climate refugees” seek refuge. “We…
An old word badly needed for the nowadays, one I’d never heard before today, “hatriot” — this from two years ago, which went unnoticed by just about everybody: As explained at the Guardian this afternoon by Samuel G Freedman, author of eight books, a former New York Times columnist and currently a journalism professor at…
Today’s one nasty-ass moment, and the irony — the T-Rump’s infested shape, and image of the nowadays: Also another moment at the same event — via The Hill: A Muslim Virginia state legislator on Tuesday interrupted President Trump and shouted “you can’t send us back” as the president delivered remarks at an event in Jamestown,…
Another appealing early-evening here on California’s north coast, and a Friday to boot — sunshine just about all day with just some foggy/low clouds in the morning, but way-comfortable. Tomorrow will be the 50th anniversary of the first US landing on the moon, and a first for humanity, too. Even as an old guy, it…
Again sunshine and wind this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast, and despite the breeze, fairly warm. Weather uniformity, especially in our summer season of daily-days of first-fog-then-sun and wind momentum makes for a nice stretch of outdoors time. Dog walk earlier at Little River Beach was toasty, and successful. We’re in a crisis clusterfuck,…
Sunshine right now coupled with a cool, brisk ocean breeze this late-afternoon Friday here on California’s north coast. Earlier mostly cloudy with just a little sun, but who knows… Pablo Picasso’s ‘Harlequin Head,’ (found here), from 1971, sure does resemble President Obama, in a surreal form, of course, and excellent art for a post about an…
During the T-Rump’s gibberish-talk after his social media conference yesterday: In this current time-frame, we’re most-likely in what’s called a ‘watershed‘ event: ‘Watershed is a geographical term, originally. The area that drains into a single river is the watershed for that river. Watershed can also mean a ridge, like that formed by a chain of…
Overcast with a bit of chill this Wednesday evening on California’s north coast, and despite that right now, it was overall a real gorgeous day. Ran the dogs at Little River State Beach this morning, sunshine broke the clouds, and warmed the dunes, a splendid time. State-of-silly scenario: ‘“Before our decision to run, my wife…
