War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear and warm this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — the low-roar sound of the peaceful Pacific seems to come from afar, though, the ocean is only a mile or two away. Noise depends on the air. And in DC, the din has become nearly oppressive. President Obama has most-likely shit in his mess…
Deep ground fog this early Monday on California’s north coast and will most-likely burn off before too long — another ‘normal‘ day fashioning itself. Quiet and still — a facade to the upcoming work week that will most-likely produce more bat-shit crazy. The good, ole US of A is one messed-up place — Shannon Roberts at…
Sunday morning up here on California’s northern coast and the living is cool. And the hunt for triple-homicide suspect Shane Miller continues just south of where I’m at — he’s charged with killing his wife and two daughters last week over in Shasta County, about 200 miles east of here. Miller knows the area and has…
I mentioned this last week and its approach (via National Geographic): An instrument near the summit of Mauna Loa in Hawaii has recorded a long-awaited climate milestone: the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere there has exceeded 400 parts per million (ppm) for the first time in 55 years of measurement — and probably…
Foggy and a bit on the chilly side this early Thursday on California’s north coast, no stars, no wind, no sound. So quiet, it must be quiet all over the world. Wrong! Much of the news recently has been shittier than dog poo — and a number of these items are headline only stories, with…
High fog, low drizzle this way-too-early Wednesday here on California’s north coast, creating a dull-bummer this morning, despite the speed of the week. Hard to imagine we’re already reaching the weekend’s gravity pull. And internal-combustion engines are not only destroying the environment, but is emaciating time: In the country’s most gridlocked cities, commuters wasted an…
Despite all that I could do, it’s Monday again — the weekend ends way-too quick. Clear skies, however, and quiet here on California’s north coast. And we start another plunge into what’s called ‘making a living,’ which depends deeply on the key word, ‘living,’ and will work our asses off for the next five days…
(Illustration of Ulf Buschmann‘s ‘Laundromat‘ found here). Again another Sunday, Now this morning bright sunshine and warm — storms toiling elsewhere. Oh, for sure back at the laundromat, Weekly visits to thee I sing, Just spring-load the quarters, flutters My brain in the Mood To wash my blues away. A poetic blurb from doing my…
Clear skies with a fingernail moon hanging in the dark, quiet with just a hint of the rumble in the Pacific Ocean a couple of miles away — up here on California’s north coast we’ve been experiencing some most-delightful weather the last few days. A high of 70 degrees is forecast for today, and the…
Clear and warm this way-early Thursday on California’s north coast — the half-moon still hanging brightly in the southern sky. The weather around these parts the last few days has been wonderful — temperatures up in the middle sixties is near-about a heat wave for us. Weather is just weather, however, if it’s felt by…
