War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
After howling for hours, the wind about my little space of California’s north coast are way-more gentle this early Monday — supposedly we’re on the tail-end of the latest winter-rainstorms, and the moisture is expected to taper off this afternoon and evening. Sunshine maybe tomorrow — hopefully, later today. As weather dominates US news coast-to-coast,…
Anticipation this early Sunday on California’s north coast, awaiting another river-round of rain heading our way — winds sound on the increase, indicating the first pellets aren’t too far away. A supposedly potent storm, with wind a major factor this morning — a High Wind Hazard has been issued through tomorrow, wind gusts up to maybe…
Dark-gray with sometimes heavy rain this afternoon on California’s north coast — into the great wetness. An item I spotted earlier of a mega-rare, anywhere-near humorous story coming out of the nightmare war zone of the Middle East was this at International Business Times from Tuesday: An Egyptian man has reportedly delivered a financial blow to…
Drizzling rain this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — we’re supposed to catch a short break this afternoon and tomorrow before another river of rain is expected by Thursday and on through the weekend. Meanwhile, Boston had the heaviest one-week snowfall in its history, more than 40 inches — average for a whole winter, 47…
Overcast with a sense of rain in the air — early Sunday here on California’s north coast is quiet with just a hint of bright coming from the east, a narrow slice just below the clouds. Seemingly, rain is indeed in the forecast, though, only a ‘chance‘ today, and a bit more maybe tomorrow, but toward…
Sarah Palin has always been the poster-gal for bat-shit crazy, which lead obnoxiously to fame and reality TV, but her trademark aura of non compos mentis has finally lost its fruit flavor. Last week, via the Guardian: Sarah Palin’s eccentric speech to a Republican conference in Iowa last weekend, which has been criticised even by…
Bright with extreme-sunshine this early Friday along California’s north coast. Some high, wispy clouds, but otherwise clear-as-a-blue-bottom-bell. We’re in what we’d all consider as a ‘heat wave,’ temperatures this week have progressively gotten warmer, mid-to-high 60s today, maybe up into the mid-70s by Sunday. Supposedly then, another week of similar weather, not quite as warm,…
Bright and still this afternoon on California’s north coast, but there’s still a chill in the air. This morning, a symbolic-metaphoric event based on figured-reality — the fabled, iconic Doomsday Clock, created and maintained by the Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists since 1947 was moved two minutes closer to the also-iconic-but-frightful…
In a surprise this afternoon, I finally sold my truck — a 1987 Jeep Comanche. And in a sad, bitter-sweet finale, watched it ride off southward to Fortuna. After a lifetime of different vehicles, the Jeep was by the far the neatest of them all, and at nearly eight years, the longest one I’d ever…
Overcast this afternoon on California’s north coast, and maybe feels a bit warmer — just under 60 degrees right now, with ‘rain likely‘ later toward dark. No breeze hardly, which appears to add heat. A bit of environmental news this week, too, and mostly dealing also with a sense of heat — and banging the…
