War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast this afternoon, the bright sunshine of morning has withered to a dull, off-white glaze — and a bit chilly, too. Cloud cover up here on California’s north coast might also hamper viewing a space-happening tonight though dawn tomorrow — the lustrous Geminids meteor shower, which can give off 120 fireballs an hour. One of…
Becoming a dull overcast Wednesday afternoon here on California’s north coast — rain maybe tomorrow, and some heavy wet by Friday, and continuing on through the weekend. And as we plunge forward into the total-crazed period known as ‘the holidays,’ a segment of days where Americans pretend all kinds of shit — like being happy,…
Beautiful, wondrous skies early Wednesday up top this little section of California’s north coast — clouds like red-tinted porcelain seems to stretch far back east as the sun readies to arrive. Of course, not-too-far back east, a shitload of people are well into mid-week — bustling, hustling along, apparently without a freakin’ clue. Yesterday, from…
Rainy, dark clouds this afternoon, and pretty-much predicted for the immediate-near future, thus prohibiting us here on California’s north coast from checking out some shooting stars in the morning via the naked eyeball — only by some technological device. This time, the ‘Orionids‘ are coming. The Orionid Meteor Shower, which could produce 25 meteors an…
Clear with just a bit of haze this early Friday on California’s north coast — and chilly as always with morning sunshine. The storm just past dumped a whopper of rain on Eureka, just a few miles south of where I’m located, with more than two-and-a-half inches on Wednesday — a record for the date,…
Rain in the gutters this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — NWS reports ‘Heavy Rain’ today with three-quarters to one inch expected. After just waking up sometime this morning between one and two o’clock, I was sing-songed back to sleep just at the rainstorm’s arrival — an orchestrated musical, lightly starting with a single, soft…
A seemingly obvious conclusion probably known for a generation — from Medical News Today: After assessing couples’ first 9 years of marriage, the researchers found that husbands and wives who used marijuana frequently – two or three times per month or more – exhibited less frequent intimate partner violence (IPV) instigation by the husbands. Anyone…
This past weekend, Sarah Palin supposedly launched her own online network, where for $9.55 a month (or $99.95 for a whole year) a subscriber can binge on Palin’s witless wit: “I want to talk directly to you on our channel, on my terms — and no need to please the powers that be. Together, we’ll go…
Overcast and a bit on the gloomy side this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, no fog but a deep, empty silence. Usually I can hear the Pacific Ocean making some kind of noise only a mile or so away, but this morning all is quiet. The news cycle ain’t at all. Apparently from all…
Foggy again this early Thursday on California’s north coast, but supposedly we’re into a nice stretch of weather, especially with the big holiday tomorrow. Although just a mile or so inland temperatures are expected to be in triple digits the next few days, for us here on the shoreline, it will be in the balmy…
