War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast again this Tuesday morning as if the season up here on California’s north coast, but again, too, a bit on the chilly side as we troll through the week watching the world crumble. In the context of being updated, last night one of the jurors in the latest infamous trial told CNN’s Anderson Cooper: “I…
Another Monday morning here on California’s north coast — as it is all over — and we begin a work week again. At least, the weather lately has been about near-perfect for this area of warm sunshine styled by a cool breeze. Time might be flying, but there’s still five work days ahead of toil…
Overcast and darkly-gloomy this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — a sense felt ’round the world. And with all the bad news exploding all around, from Egypt to everywhere, there’s this ludicrous note: A Gallup poll last month found that for the first time in his ex-presidency (actually, the first time since 2005), a…
Here it is, another Monday. The weekend goes so freakin’ fast, even if I do nothing of any real significance. This morning is typical — foggy, overcast and a bit gloomy. And another procrastinating weekend of domestic chores — this time around, I put off working by watching ‘30 Rock‘ on Netflix. Just getting toward…
Another high overcast morning on California’s north coast, but this being a Friday, there’s still joy in the air. As of late, the sun will eventually burn off the moisture and life will be happy again. Last night, I went to sleep with the sound of warfare outside my window — bottle rockets, cherry bombs…
Crystal-clear skies and a bit on the chilly side this fourth of July Thursday on California’s north coast — the sound of the Pacific Ocean a quiet moan from the west. Life continues whether we want it to or not. Despite other big shit happening — Egypt’s on another late-spring uprising, the Arizona wildfire that…
Another middle-of-the-week Wednesday with high overcast skies and chilly temperatures here on California’s northern coast — the weekend now a faint, pulsating glow in the near-distance. Only lately have I really, really sought the weekends — I must be getting really, really tired of my week days. Duh! Ed Snowden is a tortured gift that keeps…
Another Tuesday morning here on California’s north coast with some high overcast and bit of a chill in the air. The week keeps on moving. And the commuting trials and tribulations of Ed Snowden continues as he searches out the earth for a new home. Although he no longer has Russia on the list, Vladimir…
Fog mostly this Sunday on California’s north coast with a bit of sunshine on occasion, and bad heat just about everywhere else. And talk about a way-hot scandal — the NSA has become a rolling playbill of serious surveillance hijinks with a new episode near daily, complete with international outrage and screams of WTF! (Illustration…
Heavy ground fog this way-early Thursday along California’s north coast, and way-quiet, too. The usual noise from the Pacific Ocean, only about a mile or so away, can’t be heard at all. Up high, though, there seems to be a thin-spot in the mist as the half-moon hangs brightly in the southern sky — a…
