War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Fog-influenced overcast this early Monday on California’s north coast — another notch in our mundane weather cycle. Now officially into summer, we’re still going to be the same for awhile. Despite the environment here along the Pacific shoreline, the NWS calls for triple-digit temperatures this week for the interior, and more wildfires. We’re supposedly due…
Faded, washed-out sunshine this afternoon on California’s north coast as clouds/fog keeps the bright, and the temperature, down to a low level. A chilly breeze compliments the ambiance — not unpleasant outside, though. In the last 19 years, 23 US states and the District of Columbia have approved the medicinal use of cannabis, while Washington,…
Overcast once again this early Thursday here along California’s north coast, in a quiet, predawn dark — looks about the same as yesterday, fog-filled until it’s burnt away, sometimes not before late afternoon, and sometimes not at all. Summer along the shoreline… Due to my own sleep troubles/problems, I’m always on the lookout for shit…
Thick-gray clouds on an early Thursday, hanging-low along California’s north coast — might be more fog than cloud, sometime hard to reckon, but whatever, supposedly should be clearing fairly-quickly this morning. The NWS forecasts dry weather through middle of next week, but for today, a rare use of the word, ‘Breezy,’ with a small logo…
Thinly-overcast with faded sunshine this afternoon on California’s north coast, already mid-week — time flies whether you’re having fun or not. Zilch for humor in this CNN/ORC Poll: ‘According to the poll, 52 percent of adults had a favorable impression of George W. Bush, 43 percent unfavorable.’ Either collective amnesia, or there’s a huge-shitload of…
(Illustration found here). Nearly 11 years ago, and standing proud on Texas dirt, Dick Cheney, George W., and Don Rumsfeld posture perfect while seriously explaining away an accelerating horror-nightmare then boiling out-of-control in Iraq (US troops in August 2004 were having an extra-nasty time in Najaf), and were still full of war fever — another…
Sunshine clear and bright this afternoon, the sparkle tempered by a brisk, gust-filled wind — par the course. Breeze carries a sharp chill, but was way-pleasant this morning during a walk to Safeway — once the winds come up, the relaxed tempo-flavor of outside activity fades, unless you have yourself a good wind break. Once…
Clear at sunrise, but now about an hour or so later this early Thursday on California’s north coast, there’s high-thinnish clouds filtering the shine, but clear skies scheduled for today, and supposedly warmer, too. According to forecasts, dry as a bone for the next week to 10 days — one word, ‘nice.’ Also on the…
Overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and from my little back-patio perspective, looks like some patchy ground fog, too. Earlier, the NWS also nailed our situation just about right with a forecast of ‘becoming sunny‘ for today — if conditions continue. Sunshine yesterday afternoon was a bit tepid, but par for the course,…
Sometime this morning will mark eight years since this blog — ‘Compatible Creatures‘ — appeared online, and ironically continues hopefully beyond the next typed word or two. We entered the InterWebs early on April 24, 2007, with just two words, ‘Woo Hoo!‘ — apparently, excitedly exclaimed, though, and observed metaphorically, naive to the techno-abyss lurking…
