War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A near-ethereal sunrise this early Wednesday, at least as witnessed from my little back patio, situated not far from California’s north coast, — sky to the east hazy, but above and roundabout seemingly clear as a bell. Maybe rain forecast now for Saturday night, but till then, according to the NWS, continuing ‘mostly sunny,’ which…
Once again the routine continues this early Monday on California’s north coast — thick-overcast, chilly and gray. According to the NWS, however, we’re supposed to go from ‘mostly cloudy’ today, to ‘mostly sunny’ tomorrow, and maybe sunshine uninterrupted through next week. Maybe does mean perhaps… Big news spotlight this morning is the crazy shit down…
Overcast still going on into the late afternoon here on California’s north coast, with some added patchy ground fog, only sunshine so far a hazy, faded-yellow glare shifting the gray every so often — a damp, shoreline chill, too, added to the mix. One item I haven’t been keeping up with in the last weeks…
Overcast, gray and gloomy this early Sunday on California’s north coast — supposedly, sunshine maybe before mid-day, but if yesterday’s any kind of an example as we received only a little peek-a-boo sun late in the afternoon, we can expect these Gothic conditions to remain awhile. So staying on the dark side of shit, more…
In a flight of American history, today is the 40th anniversary of the fall of Saigon, actually bringing to a shitty end America’s shitty experience in Vietnam — iconic photos of helicopters lifting people off US embassy rooftops a reminder a generation later that war don’t work. Last month, three physician groups released a report,…
Clear at sunrise, but now about an hour or so later this early Thursday on California’s north coast, there’s high-thinnish clouds filtering the shine, but clear skies scheduled for today, and supposedly warmer, too. According to forecasts, dry as a bone for the next week to 10 days — one word, ‘nice.’ Also on the…
Overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and from my little back-patio perspective, looks like some patchy ground fog, too. Earlier, the NWS also nailed our situation just about right with a forecast of ‘becoming sunny‘ for today — if conditions continue. Sunshine yesterday afternoon was a bit tepid, but par for the course,…
Some clear sunshine arising this early Monday on California’s north coast as we look forward to a supposed string of days ahead of ‘mostly sunny‘ skies and fairly-warm temperatures. Entering the last week of April in a year seemingly already slid-gone like a greased asshole — and today’s Monday again, and as a retiree (a…
Sometime this morning will mark eight years since this blog — ‘Compatible Creatures‘ — appeared online, and ironically continues hopefully beyond the next typed word or two. We entered the InterWebs early on April 24, 2007, with just two words, ‘Woo Hoo!‘ — apparently, excitedly exclaimed, though, and observed metaphorically, naive to the techno-abyss lurking…
A bit of sunshine this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, with some nice breaks in the lately-accustomed fog/cloud routine. Just returned from a walking trip to Safeway, and maybe the bright is here for awhile. Mankind is apparently composed of horribly-ironic idiots. Just yesterday, coinciding with Earth Day, a load of internationally-known brainiacs issued…
