War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sad note this Friday morning: One of my most-favorite entertainers/actors of all time, Alan Arkin, has died at 89. He blew me away in “The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming,” an odd, humane-funny, empathic flip during the height of the frightful, freaky Cold War — saw it on the big screen as a…
Clear and bright with temperatures climbing to under 100 this near-noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley and the next couple of days we’ll join a goodly chunk of the rest of America with furnace-like conditions — the only thing, we’ll supposedly be a little cooler than, say, Texas, but free of apocalyptic smoke from…
Beyond the domestic tales of treachery with the MAGA/T-Rump Republicans, the Russian near-coup/treachery (or whatever) this past weekend continues to fester itself without any general relief — as been stated long before, what’s known is more unknown right now. Now nearly a week after news of the so-called coup/mutiny/insurrection was mounted by Russian private mercenary…
Bright sunshine and gathering-warmth temperatures this mid-day Wednesday here in California’s Central Valey — another day in the hot-stacked, rapid road to summer triple-digit numbers upcoming, maybe tomorrow, if not, Saturday at least. Weather is neither hot nor cold, but constant — nuts to be sure. Also nuts is the state of America’s democracy, though,…
As the world continues to turn, T-Rump continues to shape-shift his way out of an actual recording of him blabbering about having classified documents — as presented yesterday via CNN — and today has seen him flip a desire to spin, pin reality into/onto an idiotic smoke and mirrors affair, except in this case, it’s…
Overcast with an occasional slice of sunshine this near-noon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — a last day or so of cool, wondrous weather until we run headfirst, smack-dab into a furnace environment by this weekend. Despite the onrush of higher temperatures for our area, we’re just following in behind the rest of the…
Clear, gorgeous skies and tepid temperatures this late-afteroon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — the first day of the end of a wonderful pre-summer blitz of great weather. Heat rolls in the next few days with triple-digits expected by the weekend. Today has carried a rigorous news cycle — among the items were a…
Bright, shiny sunshine with thick, warm air this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — although a bit chilly earlier this morning, right now we’re in the mid-80s on e summer-infused environmental road to triple digits supposedly to be plaguing us by the end of next week. Finally, the season is coming to a…
Sunshine and a cool, gentle breeze this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — another weekend ahead with even more agreeable weather. Summer is nice and soft, so far. Beyond the terrible news dump today — the sad demise of the Titanic submersible (with even a Joe Biden conspiracy theory now somehow attached); wrapping…
Another gorgeous, sunshine-filled, low-temp episode shortly after the noon hour Thursday here in California’s Central Valley. Reportedly, another 10 days or so of this chilled-type weather (abnormal for the time) and summer is then expected to start kicking in with triple-digit air temperatures, so enjoy while you can. We all take notice of ‘special days‘…
