War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Plenty of sunshine burning orange this early-evening Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — another gorgeous day in a growing line-up of beautiful days that could easily spoil us rotten. This is still winter, remember? Although some rain is forecast for maybe over the coming weekend, nothing heavy-duty in the future picture weather-wise, except the…
Closing in on sunset Saturday here in California’s Central Valley, bringing approaching darkness to another gorgeous day, though, some deep, wet fog earlier this morning was a bit problematic weather-wise, but it turned into a best-as-it-gets episode for this time of year. Rain forecast for tomorrow — however, just ‘showers‘ predicted, no heavy downpour or…
Quiet on a Monday evening. Except in the crazy corner of the country — inhabitants of the reality asylum: All this horrible shit just might be a really good spin for Democrats as the mass of Americans has rejected Republican/MAGA bullshit the last three elections. And if GOPer-assholes keep it up, it will not only…
A tight, chilly wind near sunset in California’s Central Valley this Sunday, drawing close to the end of another gorgeous day in a week-long respite from those ghastly atmospheric rivers. It’s been a time of drying out for our state and of counting the loss and the dry of a ‘whiplash weather’ pattern set to…
Occasional bright sunlight amidst thick, fluffy-white clouds this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, our second-in-a-row full day in a long time of luminous shine without any kind of a hint of rain. Although apparently, it did rain last night, the feeling today is near-awesome. Meanwhile, some shitty news — yesterday my daughter tested…
In honor of MLK Day tomorrow, some music in reflection. (Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Self Portrait Facing Death‘ [June 30, 1972], was originally found here.) I’m not familiar at all with MLK and music so we’ll go with UDiscover Music from last year: On April 4, 1968, the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr, who was shot…
(‘Venus de Milo‘ being indecently seen at The Louvre — image found here.) Upset in the sea of idiocy by everything Republican, Missouri’s House of Representatives went a hundred steps further last week and adopted a new dress code — for women legislators only. And forbid the sight of a woman’s shoulders uncovered. Noted via…
Thickly overcast with just a slight sprinkle this near-noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, and although we got rain-hammered last night, hopefully, the most-potent downpour is gone for a while. An ‘atmospheric river’ that collided with the coast yesterday will still play out in more wetness and subsequent flooding for days to come. Water…
Dark-gray overcast this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — a contrast to a beautiful morning we had with blue skies and way-plenty of sunshine. Although it started deteriorating about noonish, it still for a while was about as good as it gets for this time of year. Now just sooty and depressingly sad.…
In the spirit of a brand-new year this Sunday evening, so it is with another call-out plea to please buy my novel, “Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona,” self-published last March by Outskirts Press, and help generate a literary following of some note. And, too, make me some money, which is not such a terrible…
