War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Drizzling rain this early Friday on California’s north coast as we finally get ready to finish the first full work week of the new year. And with the sprinkle, the air is warmer — which means a shitload. Beyond the quivering Outlaw Jersey Whale — a most-perfect notion of Chris Christie — the Senate’s plan…
Overcast, foggy and damp this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and although there’s moisture in the air, it ain’t rain. Or what we want to be considered rain — yesterday afternoon, last night, at tops, nothing more than sprinkles. Which will make life a little tougher. Forest fires: “It’s unprecedented for us to do…
High overcast and quiet this early Friday on California’s north coast as we come to the end of week one in the end-of-the-year blow-fest, and we await the coming of 2014. Right now, we’re at a balmy 46 degrees, hopefully working our way up to the low 60s some time later. And did I mention…
Crystal-clear and cold this Thursday morning here on California’s north coast — did the same thing yesterday, but deep-coverage fog right before sunrise warmed things up a bit. Despite the tranquil weather sense here on the Left Coast, winter storms are still pillaging some parts of the US, especially in New England where 24,000 people…
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…
Clear sunshine and warm this afternoon, though, not as nice as yesterday, but of course, yesterday’s gone — the sun is right now slipping down upon the Pacific up here along California’s north coast and shadows linger. We’re in the mid-50s range at present and apparently tipped 60 degrees sometime this afternoon. Warm after the…
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…
Clear and really, really cold this early Thursday on California’s north coast, and yesterday we had some record low temperatures, but still not as chilly as other parts of the Western US. For instance, Texas had one drastic weather swing: Wednesday’s official high in Dallas was 80. Thursday night brings freezing rain, sleet and a…
High-wispy clouds with a semi-clear sky this early Wednesday on California’s north coast with the moon hanging like a chewed fingernail far to the east. The day before Turkey Day and all is quiet — except everywhere! Life with President Obama is anything but tranquil these days. He visited Hollywood yesterday, raising funds and touring the…
Crystal clear with bit of a chilled breeze this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast — not a wisp of a cloud in sight. Typical day for these parts, bright sunshine with a little bite to the air. Politics seems the front-burner news item — President Obama dashed again upon the rocks of public disfavor,…
