War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Dazzling sunshine and a crisp feel to the air this late-morning Thursday on California’s north coast — gorgeous, and about time. Earlier, I finally had the chance to walk to Safeway and back, a seemingly-necessary daily routine for an old retiree, but curtailed lately with the seemingly-endless rain, and for a little while, at least,…
Hail-rain this Wednesday mid-morning on California’s north coast, and cold, too. The white stuff still clinging on rooftops — our latest storm comes from the north, and carries not near as much water as the ‘atmospheric rivers‘ (sometimes called a ‘Pineapple Express‘) we’ve been experiencing lately, but there’s a definite drop in temperature, sometimes creating…
Dark-overcast and rainy this mid-morning Tuesday on California’s north coast, as we brace for the next wave of storms due today, tonight, and apparently feels like will last forever. According to the NWS this morning, along with some heavy rain today, the region is also under a Thunderstorm Watch: ‘Any thunderstorms that do develop will be…
Apparently, life is turning into a stress-filled boil infected by the T-Rump. A new report by the American Psychological Association paints the election as culprit of our tension. Lead author Archy de Berker (PsychologyToday): ‘“Our experiment allows us to draw conclusions about the effect of uncertainty on stress. It turns out that it’s much worse…
Overcast with some light, misty-drizzle this Friday morning on California’s north coast — we await another big rainstorm supposedly starting this afternoon and lasting into tomorrow, or maybe-seemingly forever. Despite the forecast, we won’t get the blunt end of a fairly-powerful ‘atmospheric river‘ drenching SoCal also this morning — ‘“…likely the strongest within the last six…
Drizzling-gray this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, the opening act for a cycle of rainstorms slated for our area through at least the weekend, and supposedly starting in earnest this afternoon. According to the NWS, gusty winds and 1-to-2-inches rain tonight and tomorrow, though, the Humboldt Bay area will reportedly experience slightly less due…
Dark and chilly this early Tuesday evening on California’s north coast — a day of tired and icky feelings and not much energy to produce anything. Beyond the cranks and crannies of old-age health, the vibe in this age of T-Rump creates even more suction on the vitality of living. In the wise words of Emily…
Rain fairly-heavy at times this early Friday on California’s north coast, though, sunshine is predicted for tomorrow. Hurrah! Yet to be short-lived — just sunny Saturday and Sunday, rain coming back in earnest by Tuesday. And as for Monday? Apparently, up for grabs weather-wise. A heavy-rain season this year, one we were supposed to get…
Misty-drizzle this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, the tail-end of one storm, blended with the creeping-arrival of another. Supposedly, another wet front will be cruising onto the shoreline up here this evening and tonight, with rain forecast at least through the weekend. Earlier, I thought maybe it was dry enough to quickly-walk to Safeway…
In the last few weeks due to shit news home and abroad, I needed relief short of a lobotomy, and by chance came upon my own personal solution — romantic comedies, dumb stories about heartbreak, redemption and finding love at the end. Anything to circumvent the times, indulging in sappy, pulp fiction. Starting with “Maid…
