War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Drizzling rain this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — it’s been gray just about all day (a little poetry, there) with a bright streak of sunshine around noonish, then back to overcast, finally at near dark, rain again. Another post-thingie on guns and mass shootings and why we can’t collect some common sense…
An outside gray environment complete with some steady rain this late afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — supposedly wet only today and tomorrow, then we’re back to some sunshine for at least a week before any more rain is on the schedule. In a vernacular, emotional twist of rain that’s sad — the…
Clear skies and sunshine galore this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley. One of those as-good-as-it-gets kind of days — bright and warm. Against that particular grain of bright and warm as the events this morning at an elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, blows the air out of that dreamy balloon — another freaking,…
Sunshine-breezy this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — rain expected again mid-week. In an attempt to shy away from the horrific horror of American politics (T-Rump/GOP) and the horrific horror of American weather, this a post on movies, specifically, a movie’s opening sequences, beyond just the credits but also includes a sequence of…
As we await the weekend and close out another crazy-ass work week, here’s a normal, yet abnormal item (due to climate change), reflecting on nature’s annual flower show in DC. Yet this is better than shit news concerning our situation surmounting everything, everywhere, all at once; consider it a respite to the nowadays. Instead, peak…
Clear-blue skies and a shitload of sunshine this midday Friday here in California’s Central Valley — a bit of a cold wind, though, but still way-enjoyable more than an avalanche of atmospheric rivers that’s poured onto the state the last couple of months. A dozen ARs since December to make a fine weather point with…
Sunshine amidst billowing, white clouds this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — reportedly some nice weather (i.e., sunshine and warmth) for the coming weekend and beyond. As they say, about time. Doomscrolling the news (you don’t have to seek bad, ugly news, it’s everything, everywhere, all at once), I came across a couple…
Apparently, as we head into the evening, Trump was not arrested today or booked or indicted or much of anything, except for the case of not many of his MAGA-hatter mad-hatters paraded; some did in Flordia, but in New York City where the legal action is supposed to take place was fairly quiet. This offering…
Overcast with occasional rain showers this near-noon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley with all the moisture buffered by some heavy winds blowing through the trees, making more frightful noises beyond the weather-minded environment. This season has been the shits. Currently, we’re feeling the thrust of the 12th ‘atmospheric river’ to have stormed the state…
Overcast and warm this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley as we wait for the next ‘atmospheric river’ due tonight or Tuesday sometime. Although forecast to not be a massive gully-washer, there will still be flooding and rainfall galore. My area is predicted to catch three-quarters-to-an-inch of wet stuff. Weathering the weather is the…
