War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Crystal-clear and a bit chilly this Friday morning on California’s north coast with a majestic full moon hanging mega-bright over it all — despite that, we’ve a 90 percent forecast for rain later today, maybe with some thunderstorms tonight. Weather is as peculiar as life nowadays. Apparently, in this humanistic, modern age, guns are king:…
High overcast this early Thursday morning on California’s north coast and from all indications we’ll continue our most-wonderful Indian summer today with warm temperatures fluttered in sunshine. Twelve years in a memory’s snap — a swift day’s ride into the sunset. Today, of course, is the day after Sept. 11. And that date will apparently never…
High overcast this way-too-early Wednesday here on California’s north coast and mid-week pulls us closer and closer to the weekend. Which is exactly where we want to be — for now. And in the wake of the temperance-flare of President Obama’s anti-Syrian peace-now-but-war-later speech last night, the US can curl up and go fast asleep,…
Clear skies and twinkling stars greeted me earlier this Wednesday morning, but it now appears fog is rolling across the north coast of California, but most-likely by mid-day it will be sweltering with hot-boxed temperatures in the low 70s again — the mid 80s predicted for this weekend. A near-enough tropical heat wave! Up here…
Clear and star-sprinkling skies this early Wednesday along California’s north coast — as the middle of the work week is here, so are thoughts of the week end. Yet two days to go. And this morning, the situation room on the Syrian chaos is getting crowded. The US, however, is pulling a George Jr. ploy…
Yipee! It’s Friday! Overcast a little bit up here on California’s north coast, but we’re on the cusp of a weekend so the weather is just a prelude to joyful two days away from the public. And the public sucks — at least down the manhole of private affairs. President Obama’s vow of an “outside”…
Welcome to harsh-reality’s end of the week — Friday! Another day, another life — sweltering, near-unlivable conditions up here on California’s north coast: The U.S. National Weather Service reports that the temperature in Eureka reached a staggering (‘round these parts) 73°, edging out the previous record of 71° set way back in aught three of…
Overcast and quiet again this early Thursday here on California’s north coast, the sounds of silence screeching all across the lonely, lost world. But we are not alone. Yesterday, two important stories ‘leaked’ via the news cycle — one was that Bradley Manning’s awful leaks “…that no instances were ever found of any individual killed…
Another overcast early morning this Thursday on California’s north coast, but as the case the last few weeks, sunshine will most-likely break the gloom by noon time. The weekend now only hours away. Beyond the cycle of the George Zimmerman fallout, there’s continuing saga of the average Joe on America’s streets, caught in the watchful…
Fog-bound again this early Thursday and a bit on the chilly side for this part of California’s northern coast — the sunshine will burn through before mid-day, always does. Life is expectant. The NSA/surveillance shit-storm thrust out into the public by young Eddie Snowden has indeed ignited the US public into questioning whether all this…
