War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
America in 2020 is on the precipice of history — this grand 250-plus-year-old experiment in governance is currently on unhinged footing, teetering at the edge of a deep-fall cliff, the plunge like chaos usually witnessed in third-world countries every few years. Or maybe Brazil nowadays, or Australia. The next few months will tell the tale…
Fading sunshine this early-evening Monday on California’s north coast, gorgeous and sort of warm about mid-day. Little River State Beach was a bit misty in the morning during our dog run, yet way-pleasingly comfortable. Similar weather supposedly slated for just ahead, at least according to forecasts from the NWS, with toasty temperatures (for the shoreline!)…
Sunshine this Tuesday evening on California’s north coast, a fine turn-around from most of a cloudy-foggy day. Rain expected tomorrow. Despite the gray-ash chill, the Ma-le’l Dunes this morning was still a gorgeous dog run. This, too, rings true nowadays: I go to bed feeling that same way. The crazy continues unabated. Drama so freaked…
Clear and chilly-windy this Friday evening on California’s north coast — nice and comfortable shoreline weather abaft the Redwood Curtain. Not nice and not comfortable is the T-Rump — lack of any fiber whatsoever. The Rashida Tlaib/Ilhan Omar cluster-fuck is completely ludicrous and just displays an axis of assholes, and even with Israel, which is…
Beautiful Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, sunshine and warmth just about all day — a dog run to the Ma-le’l Dunes in the AM was exhaustively-most-enjoyable, and sweaty. The Redwood Gun Club’s firing range is just north of the South Unit of the Ma-le’l Dunes, where we always go, and although we did hear…
An old word badly needed for the nowadays, one I’d never heard before today, “hatriot” — this from two years ago, which went unnoticed by just about everybody: As explained at the Guardian this afternoon by Samuel G Freedman, author of eight books, a former New York Times columnist and currently a journalism professor at…
Overcast-gray this Tuesday evening on California’s north coast, with no sun appearance at all today — also a dog run to Little River State Beach this morning was the same, except for a chilled ocean breeze. Showers maybe on Saturday, and supposedly remain ash-like all week. Best illustration I’d seen yet on mass shootings, America…
Again sunshine and wind this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast, and despite the breeze, fairly warm. Weather uniformity, especially in our summer season of daily-days of first-fog-then-sun and wind momentum makes for a nice stretch of outdoors time. Dog walk earlier at Little River Beach was toasty, and successful. We’re in a crisis clusterfuck,…
During the T-Rump’s gibberish-talk after his social media conference yesterday: In this current time-frame, we’re most-likely in what’s called a ‘watershed‘ event: ‘Watershed is a geographical term, originally. The area that drains into a single river is the watershed for that river. Watershed can also mean a ridge, like that formed by a chain of…
Overcast with a bit of chill this Wednesday evening on California’s north coast, and despite that right now, it was overall a real gorgeous day. Ran the dogs at Little River State Beach this morning, sunshine broke the clouds, and warmed the dunes, a splendid time. State-of-silly scenario: ‘“Before our decision to run, my wife…
