War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Dark this early Friday — Duh! And high overcast with a chilled breeze on California’s north coast as we’re only hours away from a weekend. Sitting here at the laptop in these pre-dawn hours is similar to sitting in a movie theater watching coming attractions without any sense of time, place or who. Delusion appears…
Overcast with a chilly breeze this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we grind through another work week. Friday is just a flip-of-the-finger away. We had a bit of nasty news yesterday afternoon from just south of us, down in Mendocino County, where a sheriff’s deputy was shot and killed in a shootout with…
Overcast with a drizzly rain this early Monday on California’s north coast as we begin another freakin’ work week. No ground shaking, though, at least there’s that. And today is pure-booze day — St. Patrick’s is every asshole’s drinking problem, and a third of Americans planning to celebrate, with more than 80 percent of those clowns…
High overcast and calm this early Friday on California’s north coast — the sky placid and easy. Weather around here the last few days has been incredible with tons of sunshine and warm breezes, spring has forecast its arrival — maybe. Meanwhile, back east in the DC shithole of government, a crisis is brewing on…
Another clear and breezy morning this Thursday on California’s north coast as we prepare for the weekend — and the weather is cooperating. Yesterday was pure gorgeous. Bright sunshine with very-little wind, which is abnormal especially for the afternoon, and way-warm — I opened windows to let the draft clear out my apartment, and, marched…
Clear and quiet this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — no heavy-duty ground movement either in the wake of a cluster-swarm earthquakes on Sunday. And we “…dodged the bullet…” again — although the 6.8 (downgraded from a .9) shaker was even bigger than the 2010 6.5, the effects were way different. Sunday’s tumbler was…
Gray skies covered by thick-looking clouds this early Saturday on California’s north coast — no indication, though, of the end results. In exactly 24 hours from exactly now, I’ll be an hour ahead of myself, so who really knows? Yesterday, Joe Romm at Climate Progress posted the horrific e-mail of the week — from one…
Overcast with a chilly breeze this early Friday on California’s north coast — the best couple of words almost-ever: It’s Friday! Yesterday was like summer around here — bright afternoon sunshine and warm temperatures. The country as a whole, however, is frigid in political spirit — one screaming-dysfunctional place. And the news media is whacked,…
Windy with drizzling rain this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we await another storm system expected to sweep through the area tonight. This morning’s precipitation is just a continuance of the ‘wet haze’ effect we seem to collect along the Pacific shore. Surfing online news sites reveals no breaking waves of interest —…
Rain and windy this way-too-soon Monday morning on California’s north coast as the wet season continues unsuccessfully to up-seat the notorious, upstart drought — the state’s farmers are so worried they’ve turned to the use of “divining rods” to locate precious water. Napa Valley vineyard owner Marc Mondavi: “It’s kind of bizarre. Scientists don’t believe…
