War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear and chilly this Thursday morning here on California’s north coast as we attempt to make through tomorrow — and the glorious two-day holiday! A short work week can be tougher than it looks. A lot of folks open their mouth and shit comes out, but for US Secretary of State John Kerry in remarks…
Clear half-moon hanging out over the Pacific Ocean this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as we spiral on into the work week. There some chance of rain the next few days, but if anything, the precipitation will be misty drizzle — heavy rain is not our forte here on the coast. And yesterday, California…
Overcast and some ground fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — a day seemingly typical for the region of thick mist for awhile, then bright sunshine and warmth. Yesterday was the example — heavy fog at first light, then sun up real time! Weather is the final boney finger of climate change touching…
Rain and a gusty wind here on California’s north coast this Sunday morning — “unsettled weather” in that generalized-meteorologist kind of way — which is fairly-normal for certain seaside places. Wet, stormy-like conditions all over the West the next few days, especially up Seattle way. Meanwhile, far to the east and last night, was the…
Clear skies seen through wisps of ground fog the main feature this early Monday on California’s north coast as we start a brand-new work week. And all against our will — the weekend is just way-way-too short. Seemingly, from Friday afternoon to right now occurred with just a snap of the fingers, which should be…
Overcast with a bit of drizzle this early Thursday on California’s north coast — and warmer than expected as yesterday afternoon and evening were pretty chilly adding to the wet air. We’re here now, though, that’s something. And something, too, was last night with no tsunami warnings from a 6.7 earthquake right off Canada’s Vancouver…
Clear and chilly again this early Thursday on California’s north coast — the weekend’s finally in sight. Forecasts call for a “chance of rain” for the immediate future, which up here really means a drizzle at most, with no appreciable precipitation called for until the end of next week. Up top the news this morning…
Bright, bubbly and hot here this Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast — caps a gorgeous weekend as yesterday was much the same. In fact, in a rare instance for me in this region, I’m now weeding my little back-patio area in a T-shirt, which is a major thingy for an old-nerd’s skinny carcass. Right…
Dark this early Friday — Duh! And high overcast with a chilled breeze on California’s north coast as we’re only hours away from a weekend. Sitting here at the laptop in these pre-dawn hours is similar to sitting in a movie theater watching coming attractions without any sense of time, place or who. Delusion appears…
Rain and windy this way-too-soon Monday morning on California’s north coast as the wet season continues unsuccessfully to up-seat the notorious, upstart drought — the state’s farmers are so worried they’ve turned to the use of “divining rods” to locate precious water. Napa Valley vineyard owner Marc Mondavi: “It’s kind of bizarre. Scientists don’t believe…
