War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
According to Wikipedia, “middle age” as that ‘…period of age beyond young adulthood but before the onset of old age.’ In birthdays, your 40s, and early 50s, a stretch supposedly where you get a last, great grasp at living before the home stretch. And in my particular case, that time frame was way-not bad at…
In reality, is it an hour later, or an hour earlier? My kitchen clock already set to my laptop — time begone! Via Vox this morning: When clocks leap forward in the spring, researchers have found, rates of heart attacks,traffic accidents, and workplace injuries tend to increase slightly — likely the effect of millions of people’s bodies being forced…
An encounter too-close of any kind. According to NASA: ‘Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) are comets and asteroids that have been nudged by the gravitational attraction of nearby planets into orbits that allow them to enter the Earth’s neighborhood.’ Quaint — and one of those NEOs is scheduled to give us a close-bypass tomorrow afternoon, and it’s…
Bright and breezy this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast — feels a bit cooler outside as the autumn season continues to shift right along. Rain supposedly Sunday and maybe on into Monday, though appears another short-lived front, so not much on the totals. Rain is part of the natural flow, of course, created from…
Breezy-bright sunshine and rolling, blustery clouds this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast. The rainstorm from last night gone this morning — leaving a small, barely-damp footprint, and a clear, sparkling sunrise. Photo at the right is a sky-shot off my back patio a little-bit earlier, an overall epitome-picture of the weather around my abode…
Bright sunshine and clear skies this Monday morning on California’s north coast, as the bit of rain we felt this past weekend now only a memory. Supposedly, we get a respite today and tomorrow with another storm front due to move through the area Tuesday night — rain/showers expected every three-four days as we seem…
Last night at a Iowa fundraiser, Bernie Sanders proclaimed about the entire Republican Party: “They suffer from amnesia.” Mental incoherence is required — under the watch of the last GOP president: Worse attack ever on US soil, created a never-ending war in the Middle East, worse-ever response to a natural disaster, and, was oblivious to a…
Wet outside this Sunday morning on California’s north coast with rain becoming drizzle, then back to actual rain again — heaviest rainfall earlier in the dark, and now this particular storm-front appears fading away. And seemingly-maybe the season be upon us, more rain forecast for Tuesday night, or sooner. Weather-related: Another climate-change study — this…
Overcast with some faded sunshine this Friday morning on California’s north coast, and a sense of a chill to the air — more than a sense, though, more like a reminder of October. Rain expected this weekend, but not much wetness predicted. And even though right now the ‘most intense hurricane ever recorded‘ in the…
Bright sunshine and nearly-clear skies this Thursday morning on California’s north coast and supposedly will continue the rest of the week, the seemingly always present fog bank notwithstanding. Rain this weekend — 20-30 percent, and looks a front spread out over a few days. Marijuana back in the news with studies on use/abuse, or the…
