War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Bright sunshine tempered by a brisk ocean breeze this early-evening Monday on California’s north coast, been a gorgeous day all around, despite some fog in the AM, and the air’s been fairly warm, for this area anyway. Dog run mid-day to Ma-le’l Dunes was also foggy, but way-sunny enough to be on the warmish side.…
Sunshine right now coupled with a cool, brisk ocean breeze this late-afternoon Friday here on California’s north coast. Earlier mostly cloudy with just a little sun, but who knows… Pablo Picasso’s ‘Harlequin Head,’ (found here), from 1971, sure does resemble President Obama, in a surreal form, of course, and excellent art for a post about an…
Off this frightening news: MIT geophysics professor Daniel Rothman released new data on Monday showing that carbon levels today could be fast approaching a tipping point threshold that could trigger extreme ocean acidification similar to the kind that contributed to the Permian–Triassic mass extinction that occurred about 250 million years ago. … But the most significant…
Overcast-gray this Friday evening with occasional faded-yellow sunlight shifting through — back to normal here on California’s north coast. This Sunday four years ago — June 16, 2015 — the T-Rump took that infamous, caricature-like, narcissistic escalator ride in Trump Tower, down he glided/slithered into shameful history. The artwork, ‘Basic Shapes,‘ by caricaturist/illustrator Chong Jit…
Sunshine and hot this early-evening Tuesday here on California’s north coast, balmy it be — the NWS reports 82-degrees right now in Arcata, and will supposedly stay way-warm until dark. Although not really what you’d call ‘hot,’ but for us coast people, it’s ‘sweltering.’ Yesterday from the Northern California Weather Blog: A high pressure ridge…
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…
End of the work week Friday evening here on California’s north coast — sad-gray again all day, and after reports of another high-death-count shooting, the environment became even way-more sad-gray (CNN): At least 11 people were killed Friday after a shooter entered a building of the Virginia Beach Municipal Center and started firing indiscriminately, Virginia…
Close to the end this Thursday evening of another gray-skies day on California’s north coast, with way-very-little sunshine at all. A dog run to Little River Beach in late morning was also fog-bound, damp-breezy even. Somewhat normal weather for the time of the year, but usually fog/low clouds early, then some sun. Not lately, and…
The T-Rump is becoming more and more like an escapee from a mental institution, and today, rasped-out a true stupid: ‘In an ill-tempered series of tweets sent Thursday morning, he said he “had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected.”‘ Of course, a way-short-time later he tried to deny: ‘“You know who…
Sunny and fairly-windy this early-evening Wednesday here on California’s north coast — kind of warm, too, even with the breeze coming out of the northwest. A dog-walk at Ma-le’l Dunes about mid-day was sunshine and sharp-blowing sand. We hoofed it all the way to the ocean, and back — dogs loved it, tired me out…
