War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Bright and windy this afternoon on California’s north coast — we continue onward. In some shit, though, we’re going backward at a hard pace. Yesterday, the White House gave notice of 450 more US trainers for Iraq, and then today, announcement of a string of American bases, ‘described as “lily pads” near the front lines…
Overcast with enough thin clouds for a occasional ray of sunshine to peek through this Memorial Day afternoon on California’s north coast — a chilly breeze, too. War is on the mind today — during his annual speech at Arlington National Cemetery, President Obama did acknowledge there’s a break in the action, and the first…
Overcast and dark with what sounded like sprinkles pattering on the back patio this early Monday on California’s north coast — supposedly just another daily segment in a mundane weather-routine this week, even for Memorial Day. Nowadays in the age of perpetual war, memories continue. Last week from Pew Research: The day will be an…
Rain clouds but little rain this afternoon on California’s north coast — we’ve received a few isolated ‘sprinkles‘ and that’s all. An occasional dash of sunshine, so there’s that. Last week, a couple of arrogant buffoons stepped into political shit up to their Baghdads, and in a backdoor reversal, let the ugly cat out of…
Sunshine filtered through a shifting overcast this afternoon on California’s north coast, thin-stringy clouds obviously propelled by a chilled northern wind — draft of which to an old guy feels more frosty every few minutes. I just might have to soon shut down my apartment’s ventilation system, and close the windows early today. Way-not unpleasant…
A near-ethereal sunrise this early Wednesday, at least as witnessed from my little back patio, situated not far from California’s north coast, — sky to the east hazy, but above and roundabout seemingly clear as a bell. Maybe rain forecast now for Saturday night, but till then, according to the NWS, continuing ‘mostly sunny,’ which…
Bright sunshine with a wisp of a cool breeze this afternoon here on California’s north coast — another weekend in store. As a retiree, I’ve come to appreciate the work week way-more than the next couple of days, and how a certain sense can maybe make no sense. So be it crazy (via antiwar.com): ‘At…
Reality will never actually leave George W. Bush alone, the destruction and waste created from scratch will continue to thrive, the denial of accountability a way-shitty sting to America’s self esteem as conjured-up to the world. One wonders if Americans care to understand — from the History News Network dated Nov. 6, 2008: In an informal survey…
Bright and windy this afternoon on California’s north coast, and a bit of breeze-driven chill in the air, too — altogether not unpleasant, however. I saw this story from over the past weekend, the first reaction to the headline at Raw Story was WTF! ‘George W. Bush Gets Intelligence Group Award.’ Yet the stink —…
Goodly-bit of rain this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, a hefty downpour in the morning darkness. This system has been a wet one. The NWS has forecast ‘mostly sunny‘ for tomorrow, though, and Thursday, then ‘partly sunny‘ on Friday, with more rain slated for the weekend. Surfing the news reveals nothing really new, other…
