War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Fog-bound again this early Friday on California’s north coast — temporary if the recent past reflects the current future. Most-likely sunny and breezy in a coupe of hours. Climate-wise the past is killing the future (via Scientific American): ‘Climate change has claimed its first confirmed mammal extinction. The tiny Bramble Cay melomys (also known as…
Gray-overcast again this early Thursday on California’s north coast — sunshine supposedly later, but tempered with some expected gusty winds. Another day in the life… And ugly it can be — Donald Trump continues. A display of the overall repugnance of Republicans, this from Sen. Mike Lee of Utah: ‘“Hey look, Steve, I get it. You…
Deep-gray on California’s north coast this early Monday, and damp with patchy-drizzly fog — if trends continue, however, by mid-morning we should be awash with sunshine. Environmental concerns across the pond — amidst Britain’s Brexit chaos is the danger for climate research (National Geographic): ‘“It’s depressing, but the uncertainty doesn’t help,” says Philip Jones, research…
Bright sunshine once again this early Friday on California’s north coast, accompanied by a slight, cool breeze — apparently another beautiful day, ‘weather-wise.’ Otherwise, shit is piling-up in the corners. Yesterday, Britain voted to leave the European Union, and you-know-what has hit the fan, maybe in far-reaching ways. (Good nutshell of ‘Brexit‘ at FiveThirtyEight). Beyond the…
Fog mingled with low clouds overcast this early Monday on California’s north coast — a chilled ocean breeze indicates the marine layer is yuuge… Today, too, is the beginning of Summer Solstice, reportedly actually starting at 3:34 PDT this afternoon, and also supposedly the longest day of the year. If interested, there’s a handy, localized…
Surprise sunshine this early Thursday on California’s north coast. Forecasters had predicted overcast-showers for last night and today — as I fell asleep, sure enough, drizzle pecking at the roof. Expecting a dreary-gray AM — but alas! A bright, near-glaring glow to the morning. The wet maybe swooshed back to this early afternoon — according…
Sunshine cured with a chilly northwestern wind here this near-noon Tuesday on California’s north coast — rain-chance still on for maybe Thursday, but still gorgeous weather right now. In this era of mass shootings, and whatnot, Americans are also dying from getting old and just falling down. New research indicates US accidental deaths are at…
Sunshine burning-off some misty, thin coastal fog this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast as we continue unabated through some gorgeous weather — maybe tripled-digit temperatures away from the shoreline. Despite bullshit-asshole The Donald proclaiming last Friday: ‘“They don’t understand — nobody understands it,” he said, declaring at one point: “There is no drought. They turn…
Fog-gray and chilly this early Monday on California’s north coast as it appears we’re in for several days of dry weather, though, overcast with a marine layer in the mornings. No rain in the forecast until way-on-down the road. Today is Memorial Day, of course, yet the reality of war seems a dream to most…
Gray skies and a cool breeze this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast as we cruise through a period of ‘seasonal temperatures‘ and foggy mornings here along the shoreline. Yesterday, my fisherman ex-brother-in-law (and still very-good friend) presented me with some Dungeness crab he’d snagged somewhere in local waters, and just as the health-ban on…
