War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Thus, sing The Beatles — rain plus-more rain this miserable near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley as we’re on the leading edge of another ‘atmospheric river‘ gushing toward us from the coast. In fact, according to weather people, a couple of those environmental phenomena are forecast to be heading our way with a lot…
Thick, cold fog this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — yet better off than a sizeable chuck of the US right now. A frozen bomb has put millions of Americans in the dark, and, in a near-unprecedented freeze. Despite all the huge, nerve-rattling political news this past week — seemingly two personalities gained…
Slight slivers of blue sky this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley after a day of thick, cruel tule fog, though, a scenario likely to repeat itself for the next few days. Despite the whine, I’m living in a rather nice place compared to a massive chunk of America right now. Weather is becoming…
Another foggy and chilled-air day here in California’s Central Valley, and this Monday evening keeps the shitty-weather ball rolling once again — I’m not too fond of this time of year in these parts. Spring seems so, so far away. Nevertheless, today was a kind of footloose, fun day in the new cycle. Beyond the…
Cold this early-evening Saturday here in California’s Central Valley.

The chilled end of the work week quickly approaches this Friday evening here in California’s Central Valley and the season continues in fashion — a New Year hastily coming quickly around the cold-ass corner! In the shadow of the Elon Musk bullshit on Twitter, the T-Rump might be going beyond his superhero cards and might…
Cold and clear this Thursday evening here in California’s Central Valley — we continue toward even colder times. And colder still, one of my most favorite (respected and ethical) journalists around nowadays, Aaron Rupar, has had this Twitter account suspended by the great ass-slip wormhole, Elon Musk (a husk of a human), and maybe it…
Close to the end of another cold, but beautiful, shine-filled day here in California’s Central Valley –this Tuesday evening is just like all the rest in getting dark way-too soon. I really don’t look forward to winter. Beyond the shitpile of Republicans’ horror stories, the big news today most likely is maybe, apparently the US…
Cold and clear this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley — record rainfall for our area on Saturday, however, but still not enough to drown away the drought. Meanwhile, a big item on the news cycle today — Talking Points Memo has a good series going on the texts T-Rump fourth and last chief…
Once again another plea to please, please buy my novel — “Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona,” self-published via Outskirts Press last March, and help an old guy grow older a bit more gracefully. Or maybe more delightfully, or dexterously — whatever My author’s page at Outskirts is here. The Amazon/Kindle page is here. A…
