War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Bright sunshine tempered with chilled temperatures this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley. If this is Monday, tomorrow is tomorrow no matter how you look at it. Of course, it will be Tuesday, and, of course, it will be election day in the US of A — an election like none other I’ve witnessed…
Sad news well-circulated by now — Teri Garr died today at her home in LA. She was 79. She was a sweet-acting, funny actress who nailed a near-60-year career. As I posted about Stevie Nicks’s musical-life stand on abortion a couple of days ago, and how I had a ‘crush‘ on her in the 1970s,…
Here on a bright Sunday evening in California’s Central Valley, a musical approach to one of the more-important matters of our nowadays: abortion. And yet, too, with a new voice from an ancient, iconic wonder, Stevie Nicks. Nicks has been a crush of mine for near-about 50 years. In the 1970s, however, she had to…
Bright, way-clear sunshine tempered by a chilly breeze this late afternoon Thursday in California’s Central Valley — finally a distinct autumn day. Summer this year has been a bitch — our hottest ever — and it looked like it would never end. Ending quickly, too, could be our environment, not only for my location but for…
Sunshine and clear-blue skies just past noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley.

Crystal-clear skies and lots of bright sunshine just after the noon hour Sunday here in California’s Central Valley as the fall season finally starts to take hold of our weather. It’s been especially nice lately after we experienced two or three summers this year — autumn seemed to take forever to arrive and ultimately, it’s…
Some sense of a feeling. So far, this particular year has been another case of the ‘fours.’ Apparently, from what I can gather from within myself as I age (76 next month), the years of my life ending in ‘4‘ have had some special, striking significance — except 1954, as I was too young to…
It’s sunny and comfortable this Wednesday early afternoon in California’s Central Valley — maybe autumn is finally here to stay. Meanwhile, the T-Rump is not only a lying asshole, but way-unaware he’s fully and completely dumb as a charred tree stump: Details via The New Republic a couple of hours ago: During an hour-and-a-half-long interview…
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water: Details nutshell via the Guardian this afternoon: The latest system, Tropical Storm Milton, formed in the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday. Forecasters expect the storm to quickly strengthen into a hurricane and rush toward Florida in the next few days. The National…
Another summer-day heated attempt in October this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — a big difference in the warmth index, though, is simple: It’s autumn! Add an index of simplicity, too, with great economic news this morning with a robust jobs report, giving a bounce to Kamala Harris and an elbow in the…
