War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Crystal-clear and cold again this Friday morning here on California’s north coast as we wedge deeper into the new year. Not that 2014 will see anything of retentive value to aid in warding off all the shit piled at the year’s front door, but there’s not much we can do about it. The world has…
Crystal-clear and cold this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we transverse into a brand new, just-like the old year. We made the national news yesterday, and most-likely today, too. And it ain’t good — a popular Catholic priest was found murdered in the rectory of St. Bernard Church in Eureka, about 10 miles…
Thick ground fog and chilly this way-too-early Wednesday here on California’s north coast, and really quiet. This the first day of 2014 — and your point? This past year, it seems to me, has to have been one of the fastest on record. The Boston Marathon bombings — April 15 — feels as if it…
Darkly-overcast with a chilly wind this afternoon on California’s north coast, but more compelling is what’s happening way-west, to the Far East and Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant — more trouble apparently right now, maybe serious trouble. And having nothing but open ocean between the us and…that, does breath concern. In this radioactive horror mix is…
Bright sunshine and cold air this afternoon on California’s north coast, ending another work week, and near-about ending a whole year. Peculiar how quickly 2013 has bled away — seemingly the fastest year, ever. I’m an old guy, though, so I might be traveling in more rapid circles than you. Top of the news this…
Clear and sunny this afternoon on California’s north coast — a mild-kind of chilly, though, which ain’t too bad. Nature is too weird even for smart people: When I heard about the aquifer, I had almost the same reaction as when we discovered Lake Vostok [in Antarctica]: it blew my mind that something like that…
Apparently, the clock moves much-faster on Saturday and Sunday than during the rest of the week, which is the only explanation for it being Monday again. And it’s clear and cold up here on California’s north coast — we’re forecast for a pleasant week ahead, but it’s only Monday, so who knows. A goodly problem…
President Obama danced and pranced on Friday trying to deflect damage on an image of trust, even in ‘confidence‘ for himself as president, washing the air with words meant to sound near-honest, but has become more and more obviously, embarrassingly-repeated bullshit. Then yesterday, in a stupidly-veiled attempt to rationalize an intelligence apparatus gone off its…
Clear, cold and windy this way-too-early Thursday here on California’s north coast, and the still-big moon hangs way-up high out over the Pacific. Winds are monitored to be between 5 and 8 mph, and on the direct shoreline, sounds even stronger. And one big, cash-wallop off the NSA bullshit — Brazil awarded a $4.5 billion contract…
Some ground fog and chilly air this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and although there’s a chance of rain this afternoon, we all hope the day will end like this week, so far — sunny and warm. The white stuff, however, is at record levels. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported Monday the…
