War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Cloudy and rainy this Saturday morning on California’s north coast, creating an Old Testament-gothic-like feeling of sadness and depression. Except — just now seen from my back patio, a small hole opening in the thick-cloud layer, sun streams pouring through in awesome Cecil D. Demille fashion, dramatic and soul stirring, even beautiful. Reality, however, burns…
Overcast, quiet and warm this early Friday on California’s north coast — so still crickets can be heard faintly chirping. Just a few days ago, there was frost on the ground and freezing temperatures. In the wake of guns, guns and more guns, and Beyoncé lip-synching, climate change has taken a deep-back seat to all…
Ground fog, misty and warm this early Thursday morning along California’s northern coast, a way-direct contrast to the frigid, icebox temperatures back east. My youngest daughter in Minneapolis, Minnesota, told me last night over the phone it was ONE DEGREE outside. And that’s just pure crazy. Also nuts is being offline and depending on the…
Ground fog, but clear skies this early Friday morning along California’s northern coast, and it feels like it’s a warmer, too. buffoon Should be a good weekend up here, but back eastward it’s way-Arctic-cold for the upcoming holiday weekend and President Obama’s double-billed second inauguration — he takes the oath of office on Sunday in…
Foggy and way-warmer this early Thursday morning up here along California’s northern coast — no frost on the ground today! Yesterday, President Obama unveiled a massive gun-control agenda — and the shit hit the fan from all the crazed people who believe guns are sacred and must be kept close to the breast or else…
Clear and a bit chilly this early Tuesday morning along California’s northern coast as 2013 continues to move at a fairly-rapid pace into a new year. History is right now. Just a side note on Aaron Swartz — he was facing decades in prison: It should be noted that Swartz faced such a stiff sentence because…
Drizzling rain this Wednesday morning along California’s northern coast with more rain expected later today and maybe even into tomorrow. The weather’s not too bad up here, and has a kind of sameness about it just about year round — a June day can be found in January and vice versa. Not way-so for the…
Overcast and a bit on the warm side this morning along California’s northern coast, but that’s gotten to be fairly normal lately. A lot of shit has become ‘normal‘ most recently. President Obama nominated a couple of guys yesterday for some important government posts — one was a good choice, the other right out of…
Wet, chilly and highly-gothic here on California’s northern coast this Saturday evening, drizzling rain since early on, creating a sad, thoughtful sense of purpose. Surfing the news sites seeking attention for my seemingly near-insatiable, up-to-the-second addiction for current events, apparently life seemingly has flat-lined as we crawl out from under the hideous holiday season —…
Overcast, and for an early January morning, a bit on the warm side, considering this is supposed to be winter. So much for the weather! Yesterday was payday at the liquor store I manage, and motherf*cker, was it a piss-ant, sad and depressing chore. (Illustration found here). We’re a rarity — payday is weekly, instead…
