War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Still bright and warm this early Monday evening here on California’s north coast, a gorgeous sunshine day with a summer’s heat. Supposedly, 74-degrees forecast tomorrow for Arcata, triple-digits interior temps, and fairly-much the same through the rest of this week. Dog run to Little River Beach was hot… Also today in faraway DC, the US…
Overcast and a chilly breeze this Tuesday evening here on California’s north coast — been rainy and windy all day. A dog walk this morning on Little River Beach turned way-wet, way-fast. We got drenched, in the chaos of heavy rainfall, we lost the tennis ball for Cowboy’s throwie-thingie. According to the NWS, beyond a…
Illustration to the left, Salvador Dali’s ‘Galatea of the Spheres’ (found here), seems appropriate for our times, a surreal DNA scattering, ‘…creating the illusion of three dimensions.’ A consequence of flying-apart molecules leads to becoming pissed and sad: ‘According to the 2019 World Happiness Report, negative feelings are rising around the world — and the…
Sunny and a breezy Wednesday afternoon here on California’s north coast — earlier, took the dogs for a run at Little River State Beach (and dunes) and although a little misty, foggy for awhile at the start, but sunshine soon broke out, and it was awesome-gorgeous. The illustration to the left, ‘Basic Shapes,‘ by caricaturist/illustrator…
(Illustration: ‘Donald Trump,’ by Adam Khabibi, found here). Ugly shit this morning out yonder in DC. What a mess this country is in with the way-clusterfuck of the T-Rump operation — and a real-main problem it’s not just him, as shit does attract flies. I’m waiting for the sun to stay out for awhile before…
(Illustration: M.C. Escher’s ‘Tower of Babel,’ found here). Sunshine chilled by crispy-breezes this late-afternoon Sunday on California’s north coast, fully a gorgeous day, even despite a run-in earlier with some weather — walking the dogs on North Beach, still covered in bright sunlight, a big-ugly mass of dark, condensed water vapor appeared lumbering right for…
(Illustration: ‘President Trump,’ by Jonathan Bass, found here). An outstanding Thursday here on California’s north coast, bright, warm sunshine and clear skies for just about all day, and now in early evening, a bit of the winter chill, but nice outside. Rain still forecast for tomorrow, and accordingly drizzle/showers/rain through the middle of next week.…
Cold and bright this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast with lots of sunshine, but chilled-out temperatures — high supposedly just 51 and down close to freezing temperatures last night, and probably again tonight. No rain forecast until a week from tomorrow… Way-way ahead of its time — sadly ‘only‘ two years ago: Some old near-forgotten…
Early-evening Sunday here on California’s north coast, another gorgeous day with sunshine and warm temps (or the lack of hardly any wind) all day long — again to the dunes with the dogs, and then some house cleaning — a good time had by all. (Illustration: Artwork by illustrator and portrait painter, Tim O’Brien, found here).…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Seated Pierrot,’ found here). As predicted by the NSA: Early-afternoon Tuesday here on California’s north coast can be summed-up in two words — rain and wind, though so far, seemingly more wind than rain. Maybe dry on Thursday, but we’ll just wait and see…what else’s to do? Farther adrift, life may not be…
