War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A marine-layer burn-off this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, and already sunshine is melting through the fog, leading maybe to temperatures today in the low 70s even here along the shoreline. The interior remains hot as a firecracker — triple-digit numbers can be found not so far inland. Of course, the big news right…
Early fog bank this afternoon on California’s north coast, rolling over sunshine and warm air — most-likely moist and chilly rest of the day. Meanwhile, to backtrack, a pivotal move made on Monday by President Obama’s administration in the medical marijuana field: ‘Researchers will no longer need to submit proposed pot studies to the U.S. Public…
Eight years ago, today was a Friday — June 22, 2007. Along life’s timeline, a lot of dates accumulate on your own personal calendar — birthdays, weddings, deaths, a shitload of less-important things — and some that are just weird. A few maybe in the creepy category, too, usually dealing with an ex-wife, or the…
Fog-influenced overcast this early Monday on California’s north coast — another notch in our mundane weather cycle. Now officially into summer, we’re still going to be the same for awhile. Despite the environment here along the Pacific shoreline, the NWS calls for triple-digit temperatures this week for the interior, and more wildfires. We’re supposedly due…
Bright and windy this afternoon along California’s north coast, coasting on through the week. Although a news addict, I didn’t spot this via NASA until this afternoon: ‘“Asteroid Icarus will safely pass by Earth at more than 21 times the distance of Earth to the moon on June 16. To put it another way, Icarus, one…
Dark-thirty Monday here on California’s north coast — most likely fog again, but yesterday there was sunshine at ‘sun‘ up, now less than 30 minutes away, so maybe a decent chance for brightness this morning instead of a dull gray. The NWS says supposedly we could get some ‘drizzle‘ until about noon, but doubt it…
Sunshine is fading away this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — a thick fog bank has been slowly darkening the air, carried by a chilled breeze and our ‘heat wave’ slips away. The interior is supposed to catch some thunderstorms, half-inch hail with heavy rain in some parts, eastward over near Weaverville, the system…
Bright sunshine and feeling warm — at least for up here along California’s north coast — and as it’s Friday afternoon, we’re way-close to the weekend now. In a pure instance of time-travel, mind-wise anyway, and I did not remember this at all until close-to-right-now — 47 years ago earlier today, Bobby Kennedy was gunned…
Bright and blustery this afternoon on California’s north coast — the gusty-breeze a bit chilly and sharp, but if you’ve a wind break, the air’s warm and not unpleasant. Major climate news earlier today, as apparently there’s been no supposed global-warming “hiatus” the last few years, instead the whole scenario might be worse — NOAA…
Thick, low and wet-looking clouds hanging above my back patio on an early Monday look like they’re ready to drop some water onto California’s north coast — rain started last night, and with the sound, seemed fairly-good for awhile, but at this morning’s first light, just the warm, moist overcast. Supposedly, this particular rainstorm will…
