War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sunshine galore tempered by some way-brisk, frosty-like wind this late afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — better chilled than pelted by heavy rainfall and being flooded. Despite the icy breeze, we’re forecast for warming temperatures to start arriving in the next few days. This is spring, remember? Also in recollection, there’s still the…
Sunshine in between large, fluffy clouds this late afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — supposedly no rain featured on the weather front for at least 10 days or so. Hip-hip-hooray. And in the hip-hip-hooray category and as the entire InterWebs has gathered — the T-Rump was indicted this afternoon in the Stormy Daniels…
Drizzling rain this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — it’s been gray just about all day (a little poetry, there) with a bright streak of sunshine around noonish, then back to overcast, finally at near dark, rain again. Another post-thingie on guns and mass shootings and why we can’t collect some common sense…
An outside gray environment complete with some steady rain this late afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — supposedly wet only today and tomorrow, then we’re back to some sunshine for at least a week before any more rain is on the schedule. In a vernacular, emotional twist of rain that’s sad — the…
Sunshine-breezy this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — rain expected again mid-week. In an attempt to shy away from the horrific horror of American politics (T-Rump/GOP) and the horrific horror of American weather, this a post on movies, specifically, a movie’s opening sequences, beyond just the credits but also includes a sequence of…
Overcast and windy with way-little or no rain this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — rain not forecast until at least next Monday, which will be a relief from all the wet and wind we’ve experienced seemingly forever. Weather continues to plague our state, although it’s toasted by irony — we need the…
Apparently, as we head into the evening, Trump was not arrested today or booked or indicted or much of anything, except for the case of not many of his MAGA-hatter mad-hatters paraded; some did in Flordia, but in New York City where the legal action is supposed to take place was fairly quiet. This offering…
Overcast with occasional rain showers this near-noon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley with all the moisture buffered by some heavy winds blowing through the trees, making more frightful noises beyond the weather-minded environment. This season has been the shits. Currently, we’re feeling the thrust of the 12th ‘atmospheric river’ to have stormed the state…
Overcast and warm this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley as we wait for the next ‘atmospheric river’ due tonight or Tuesday sometime. Although forecast to not be a massive gully-washer, there will still be flooding and rainfall galore. My area is predicted to catch three-quarters-to-an-inch of wet stuff. Weathering the weather is the…
Today is the first day of Spring 2023, and also the 20th anniversary of the Iraqi invasion. (Illustration: US Marines in northern Kuwait assembling to invade Iraq; photograph found here.) How those two events combine is anyone’s guess. On March 20, 2003, the US did a bad, bad thing. And despite a shitload of people…
