War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Bright sunshine and cold air this afternoon on California’s north coast, ending another work week, and near-about ending a whole year. Peculiar how quickly 2013 has bled away — seemingly the fastest year, ever. I’m an old guy, though, so I might be traveling in more rapid circles than you. Top of the news this…
High overcast and quiet this early Friday on California’s north coast as we come to the end of week one in the end-of-the-year blow-fest, and we await the coming of 2014. Right now, we’re at a balmy 46 degrees, hopefully working our way up to the low 60s some time later. And did I mention…
Crystal-clear and cold this Thursday morning here on California’s north coast — did the same thing yesterday, but deep-coverage fog right before sunrise warmed things up a bit. Despite the tranquil weather sense here on the Left Coast, winter storms are still pillaging some parts of the US, especially in New England where 24,000 people…
Clear and sunny this afternoon on California’s north coast — a mild-kind of chilly, though, which ain’t too bad. Nature is too weird even for smart people: When I heard about the aquifer, I had almost the same reaction as when we discovered Lake Vostok [in Antarctica]: it blew my mind that something like that…
President Obama danced and pranced on Friday trying to deflect damage on an image of trust, even in ‘confidence‘ for himself as president, washing the air with words meant to sound near-honest, but has become more and more obviously, embarrassingly-repeated bullshit. Then yesterday, in a stupidly-veiled attempt to rationalize an intelligence apparatus gone off its…
High overcast and cold this Friday morning on California’s north coast, a bit windy, too. Despite a grueling week, it’s almost over and the sanity-belt of those 48 weekend hours lies not-quick-enough ahead. Health shit again last night, this morning — can’t sleep and it feels as if I’ve been up since Monday. An emotional…
Clear, cold and windy this way-too-early Thursday here on California’s north coast, and the still-big moon hangs way-up high out over the Pacific. Winds are monitored to be between 5 and 8 mph, and on the direct shoreline, sounds even stronger. And one big, cash-wallop off the NSA bullshit — Brazil awarded a $4.5 billion contract…
Some ground fog and chilly air this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and although there’s a chance of rain this afternoon, we all hope the day will end like this week, so far — sunny and warm. The white stuff, however, is at record levels. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported Monday the…
Clear with bright sunshine and much-warmer temperatures this afternoon on California’s north coast, the best day we’ve had in a while. We’re at 53 degrees right now, with a high earlier of 59 — rain is expected by Wednesday, but who really knows? Early this morning a shitty episode — some asshole pilfered the radio…
She would have been a neat person to hang out with, always interesting, always entertaining, conversations on a shitload of topics — if she could’ve spoke unfettered, and been herself. Emily Dickinson was most-likely a great self entertainer, too. Writers are weird, and poets worse of all. And just from what I’ve gathered about her,…
