War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Cool and nice (relatively-speaking) this Friday morning here in California’s Central Valley as we once again head into the weekend — seems like just Monday yesterday, time flies whether you’re having fun or not. During my scrolling earlier, I came across a pair of interviews already from today at Democracy Now! that seemed to zero-in…
As weather/climate change has become a major, near-continous, much-copious series of news stories, this a fortuitous film moment in Kansas: Not much information beyond the video — did find this via Yahoo: ‘In the midst of heavy rain, a car was suddenly struck by lightning in Waverly, Kansas. A father, mother and children were inside…
As we continue to wait for the final election results, here’s a reminder of a backburner issue that’s bigger than the stove, and most-likely bigger than the kitchen: (Illustration found here). Near-about pushed aside is the real-horror of modern man — climate change. Yesterday, the US offically left the Paris Climate Agreement, an accord adopted in…
Overcast mingled with patchy ground fog this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast — short weather version, ‘AM Fog/PM Sun,’ reflects our normal in the face of extremes elsewhere. Later this week, maybe already, another prolonged heat wave is scheduled for the interior: An Excessive Heat Watch has been issued by the NWS, with temperatures climbing…
Clear-bright sunshine blustered by gusty winds this early evening Friday on California’s north coast — the first of maybe a week of good weather, so far the longest stretch of nice this year. About time… In the shadow of the T-Rump Russkie ‘connection,’ with its horror-movie, soap-opera antics, the US House Science Committee quietly mocked humanity…
Gorgeous bright sunshine this late-afternoon Monday on California’s north coast — a bit on the breezy side, but we can easily live with that bluster. Mostly dry conditions the next week or so, though, some rain forecast for late tomorrow and Wednesday. Good sunshine periods, however, in the mists — a scenario highly welcomed. What…
Rain splashing heavy on a Monday here along California’s north coast, the rainfall accompanied by some blustery winds, a situation supposedly here for awhile. In a Short Term Forecast this morning, the NWS predicts maybe a ‘rainfall rate around half-an-inch-per-hour‘ for some locations along the shoreline, which is a pretty-freaking load. Still a downward wet…
Overcast with some thick-gray, angry-looking clouds this early Monday on California’s north coast and we’ve got some chilled temperatures, too, also in the mix. Supposedly, this should be the weather picture for the next couple of days — no heavy rain until Thursday, and again, supposedly. Although pretty quiet for the West Coast over the…
Deeply-overcast and drizzling this noon Sunday on California’s north coast, as the whole region prepares for another roller-coaster weather ride. Big storm due in this afternoon and evening, first in a series supposedly packing way-more rain than snow, though, the mountain-tops already look good for the season (via The Weather Channel): ‘According to winter weather…
A thick, gloomy marine fog holds gray-hostage our environment this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast — clouds to the east appear heavy with rain, but apparently it just looks that way — just heavy layers of dry. Dry is the subject of climate change in California, i.e., a notorious drought and our only habitat…
