War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In the midst of weather-storms, and life-storms, and all kinds of tempest boiling-up everywhere, I’d surfed across the IMDB birthday list for today, and with a heart-pang saw Elizabeth Hartman’s name. She would have been 69 today — Hartman committed suicide in 1987 after battling depression just about all her life. One of the most-talented…
So wet and windy this early morning here along California’s northern coast, I feel like it’s wet and windy all over da world. Just a feelin’… And due today being today, everything is coming up doomsville: “The odds go up that we go over the fiscal cliff,†said Representative Rob Bishop of Utah, a Republican.…
Rain pattering down here this morning on California’s northern coast with a forecast scheduling thunderstorms and cold winds — same as yesterday, but here at the edge of the Pacific, Monday turned out clear, sunny and kind of warm. The rain today is expected to be heavy at times, even with some hail thrown-in for…
Rain and fog this morning along California’s northern coast and we’re expected to get hammered by a cold front in a little while that will bring possible thunderstorms and a snow level down to about 1,500 feet. A dust of white on the mountains can be easily seen from the beach — winter’s here. Actually,…
(Illustration above found via BagNewsNotes. Artwork out front found here). Up this morning in a sad, but way-pissed mood. And like Jon Stewart’s faux news, reality and truth is way-better explained nowadays from such locations than anywhere else — a mournful, indignant situation: Americans reported feelings of overwhelming disgust with whatever abhorrent bastard did this…
When a wee-young lad, I was subject to the now-ludicrous “duck and cover drills” in school where all us students practiced what to do in case of a Soviet nuclear attack. The whole scenario was way-stupid: The huge destructive power of hundreds of H-bombs along with the growing knowledge of the dangers of radioactive fallout…
Crazy-ass world we now inhabit — although it’s wet and chilly this morning up here along California’s northern coast, the weather across the US is odd-ball at best. An indication is snow fall — last March, Chicago got some snow, but now have gone 281 straight day without the white stuff, while slightly to the…
Overcast with a drizzly fog this morning along California’s northern coast with rain expected some time later today. Winter here is wet, and can get cold, but considering other parts of the country, way-mild. And considering climate, the worse is yet to come — according to New Scientist, weather forecasts for the way-near-future are looking…
Cold and clear again this morning on California’s northern coast with more the same expected for the upcoming work-week. In with the unimpeded and out with the dumb-ass. Woke up this morning more on the frustrated side, just observing the obvious. Everyone should be aware of the ‘Danger, Will Robinson‘ syndrome as an insight into…
Using the old phrase most-easily this morning, ‘the sun came up like thunder,’ a clear and quick-explosion of light greeted the day here on California’s north coast — in the wake of last week’s way-wet storm surge, came also the first inklings of winter. Cold, clear and crisp, but without the rain. This area just…
