War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Bright sunshine curdled by a chilly breeze this early Friday afternoon on California’s north coast — clear sailing supposedly until Sunday with another rain-front expected, and more cool temperatures. In this particular age of much-ado ‘political correctness,’ comes an odd/normal study of how humans actually physically touch: As expected, emotionally closer individuals in inner layers of…
Another debate-episode this evening in the creepy-clownish GOP traveling circus — via the Guardian‘s live blog of the event, and The Donald’s closing statement: Our country doesn’t win anymore. We used to. We lose on trade, we lose with Isis. With Iran. We don’t win. These folks, CNBC. $250,000 for a 30-second ad. Nobody wants to…
As a paranoid-resident of quake land, the 7.5 shaker in northeast Afghanistan is remarkable in its longevity. Tremor time is most-best in brevity — in Kabul, five hours and 150 miles south of the epicenter, intense way-too long, as ‘…buildings trembled for up to 45 seconds…‘ Forever on a seismic clock. (Illustration found here). Deep…
Overcast and quiet this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast. Although the NWS calls the weather ‘partly cloudy,’ there’s a great-deal of good-old-fashion Pacific fog drifting around in there, too. Rain prospects for this weekend are starting to look dinky. Not so diminutive, however, is the shift on marijuana. In just a few, short years…
Last night, in a town hall meeting in New Hampshire, The Donald was faced by this statement-question off a guy from the audience (via NPR): ‘“We have a problem in this country. It’s called Muslims. We know our current president is one…”‘ The Donald hacked all around the question about Obama, stringing off into serious-sounding…
Heavy fog again this Friday morning on California’s north coast in a repeat of yesterday’s early weather, and if the plan goes accordingly, we’ll soon have clear skies with a warm afternoon. Of course, today is the 14th anniversary of the World Trade Center horror — and the feelings of all Americans are caught up…
Fat clouds and some faded sunshine this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast — forecast, though, is for the next couple of weeks to be fairly-nice with the NWS predicting sunny, or ‘mostly‘ sunny days. Feels humid and a bit on the gloomy side right now. Seemingly, gloomy all over — via UPI on Monday:…
Brightly-lit sunshine and warm this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast — chances racking higher for some good rain this weekend, supposedly starting Friday afternoon (maybe 80 percent chance Friday night) and lasting through Sunday. Winds are way-calm, too, which makes the heat stick awhile. Not calm and highly, disgustingly sticky: ‘Two members of a…
Overcast this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — the NWS adds the weather-soaked influence of our forest fires, ‘Areas Smoke,’ to today and tonight’s forecast. Once again, Redheaded Blackbelt has all the info on our fire situation, including news of a inmate-firefighter injury at the Humboldt Complex fires — he apparently wasn’t seriously injured, and was…
Near-noon this Thursday with another one of those hallucinogenic cloud covers — a bit of marine fog, and maybe a whole-lot of drifting smoke, creating a surreal ambiance. Nearly-pure jaundice look to the weak-as-shit sunshine, whenever it appears. A good round-up for right now on the forest fires burning east, south and beyond us can…
