War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Cold and bright again this afternoon on California’s north coast, and freezing in the shade. Record lows around these parts last night/this morning. One elderly guy, who’s lived here since the early 1960s, told me his backyard just after sun-up was the coldest he “ever” seen it — covers a shitload of calendar days. How…
Haze filled with rain blankets California’s north coast this Monday afternoon — light sprinkle it might appear at first feel, but this type precipitation is way-deceiving — it will soak you to-the-bone in seconds. And it’s a bit on the chilled-side, too. So the effect/affect is not altogether pleasant. In the news this PM, an…
Ground fog with a drizzling rain this way-early Monday on California’s north coast, and the end to round one of a not-so-fabulous holiday season. This year might be a crazy yuletide. Despite the expansion of Black Friday, and the swell of people in stores, the end result wasn’t so hot: Overall spending was expected to…
Bright sunshine, coupled with what I’d call a chilly wind, and we’re having another fine, clear afternoon up here on California’s north coast — this particular one code-named Black Friday. An example of loony-gullible and horrific life in the nowadays. Although top of the news cycle this PM tends to be of the ridiculous —…
High haze in the air this way-early Thursday on California’s north coast, a misty-fingernail of a moon is imprinted in the east on a dark background with few stars seen twinkling in the sky. Turkey Day it seems, or Thanksgiving to the historical clueless and dumb. The older I get the more I loath holidays…
A mixture of clouds and fog create “haze” this afternoon on California’s north coast, with sunshine every-once-in-a-while appearing through the dull. A bit on the cool side, but not unpleasantly so. News hounds are barking in a whisper this PM, though, there’s a hostage situation still on-going down in Inglewood, south of LA, two police were…
Overcast and warm this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — looks like it might rain, but that’s just near-natural. Clouds, but no rain in the forecast — typical for up here. News movement in the PM is much-about the same as this morning, though, one item appears to be gaining momentum — the bewildering…
Sunshine and a cool breeze fills the afternoon here on California’s north coast — another work week gets its legs. News on a Monday is always on the slim side — that’s why back in the day, daily newspapers usually carried a big photo on A1 to fill the type gap — which even today,…
Clear and gorgeous this Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast — a perfect view for satellite-tracking by the NSA. If they wanted, or had some kind of motive. A motive for the fictional ‘Enemy of the State,” the Will Smith movie from 1998, was the assassination of a US Senator caught on video tape —…
Crystal-clear again this afternoon on California’s north coast — and way-warm! A unbelievable 70.3 degrees right now with just a hint of a breeze. A kind of unusual day for up here, due mainly to the absence of wind, as the high earlier I guess hit 72. Tropical almost for the Lost Coast. And not…
