War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Another crystal-clear morning this Sunday on California’s north coast and if the immediate past is any indication, this could turn to be another wonderful, ‘warm‘ day — ‘warm‘ being way-relative. The mid-70s in temperature for us is a “heat wave.” Sunshine and toasty for us, but not so for a giant chunk of the southern…
Crystal-clear again this afternoon on California’s north coast — and way-warm! A unbelievable 70.3 degrees right now with just a hint of a breeze. A kind of unusual day for up here, due mainly to the absence of wind, as the high earlier I guess hit 72. Tropical almost for the Lost Coast. And not…
Clear and cold again this Friday morning on California’s north coast as we prepare for the weekend — temperature right now is just a tad above freezing. Outlook for the next few days appears the same, nothing new. And today, of course, is the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination in Dallas. Fifty is one…
Crystal clear with bit of a chilled breeze this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast — not a wisp of a cloud in sight. Typical day for these parts, bright sunshine with a little bite to the air. Politics seems the front-burner news item — President Obama dashed again upon the rocks of public disfavor,…
Overcast and gray this afternoon on California’s north coast, but the outside feels warm, almost an ironic-balmy for around here — temperatures in the mid 60s, a wind whispering from the north, totally-not unpleasant. A surprise for me, weather-wise, was news of another chaotic, deadly storm, this one/this time was in the Mediterranean, dubbed Cyclone Cleopatra,…
Raining and cold this way-too-early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and the weather continues to match the season — up here, this state of the atmosphere is pretty normal, except with the equinox of crazy. Nuts like the NSA — Google security engineer Brandon Downey didn’t mix words: “Fuck these guys.” Even as the US…
Cold and clear this Sunday on California’s north coast, and we continue careening our way toward the holidays, whether we like it or not. Nature’s way, no big deal. Supposedly, us baby boomers credit the assassination of JFK as the milestone, the defining moment for our petulant lives, but in reality, and in an actual,…
Sunshine with foggy vapors in the air this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast as we flip right into the weekend. And now is the time for no talking to nobody. As a worker in the retail industry, one gets sick and shitty-tired of people, and on these short, 48-hour intermissions, I don’t talk much…
Clear and chilly this Friday morning here on California’s north coast — and, did I mention it’s FRIDAY! Time does travel fairly fast it seems, feels like this time a week ago. The World Meteorological Organization in Geneva reported this week 2013 will end up being the seventh warmest on record. WMO secretary-general Michel Jarraud: “All…
Sunshine and wispy clouds this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast — though, there’s some ominous-darkly, thunderhead-looking clouds to the east over the mountains, us folks next to the ocean are experiencing a nice little respite from fog city. A slight, chilly breeze seemingly coming from the north, but no one’s complaining. And the news…
