War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Gusty winds this afternoon, but still gorgeous outside — went for a doggie walk and it was way-pleasant. Not so the on-going Mike Flynn saga, a terrible tale of a terrible time in American history, and even pretty-damaging testimony during a Senate Judiciary Committee panel won’t jolt the T-Rump out of the White House. In…
Ground fog and damp this way-too-early Saturday on California’s north coast — seemingly the most-dead time zone of all, that period of deep quiet and isolation marking a weekend’s pre-dawn hours. Everybody else most-likely asleep, like normal folks. In the wake of a federal appeals court ruling last week the NSA’s mass collection of phone…
Ground fog, and most-likely way up in the dark, there’s overcast skies here on California’s north coast — Friday morning; and ain’t we just burning the shit right-through September? And 2014? A whole year — nearly gone already. A near-three-week retiree, I haven’t felt any time-travel slow-down either. And I do practically nothing, which blows…
Ground fog and a chilled air makes for an exciting early morning here on California’s north coast, and what makes this particular day so titillating is that it’s Friday! Frick, I been waiting for this. Events this week proves the US is not the exceptional place we were all told repeatedly it was, and not…
Drizzling rain and chilly this early Tuesday on California’s north coast with extra precipitation forecast for the rest of the day. Tomorrow and the rest of the week is expected to be rain-free, and maybe a bit warmer than the last couple of days. Are weather warnings/forecasts just another form of ‘“too cute by half“‘…
President Obama danced and pranced on Friday trying to deflect damage on an image of trust, even in ‘confidence‘ for himself as president, washing the air with words meant to sound near-honest, but has become more and more obviously, embarrassingly-repeated bullshit. Then yesterday, in a stupidly-veiled attempt to rationalize an intelligence apparatus gone off its…
Clear and cold again this Thursday morning up here on California’s north coast, with the weather hopefully, slowly moving out of the news spotlight. We’re at 37 degrees right now on our way to a high of 53, and some rain forecast for tonight — but who knows. Beyond the chatter on the Congressional budget bargain-basement…
Raining and cold this way-too-early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and the weather continues to match the season — up here, this state of the atmosphere is pretty normal, except with the equinox of crazy. Nuts like the NSA — Google security engineer Brandon Downey didn’t mix words: “Fuck these guys.” Even as the US…
Once again, Monday morning and life starts at the top, then goes straight-down the tubes. Deep, wet fog as the work week starts here on California’s north coast, and we’re sure everyone’s geared-up and ready to go. Not! Beyond the obscene mess of US politics, the weekend was a slow-news cycle, unless reports carried the…
Crystal-clear and chilly again this early Friday here on California’s north coast as we plunge into the weekend, following-through one of strangest, dumb-ass weeks in the history of the good-ole-US of A, which is losing its gloss. In the midst of a nonsensical government shutdown, as you all have heard by now, a dental hygienist…
