War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration above: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Weeping Woman,’ found here). Punch-back is in the wind — good attitude already from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who today took rightful-issue with White House spin-noddle Kellyanne Conway on reality, not “alternative facts.” Conway is a way-weirdo, odd looking, with a husband seemingly an exact political opposite — a freakish version of the…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Self Portrait Facing Death‘ (June 30, 1972), was originally found here). Chilly-dark this Monday evening on California’s north coast, sunshine through-out the day, a little rain expected tomorrow, more sun Wednesday and Thursday. So it goes… Our current time frame is a period of out-of-the-ordinary, and whether political, environmental, or whatnot, the…
(Illustration found here). Oft quoted nowadays — though, a good description of the T-Rump world, or just about any random Republican operating anywhere — the somber warning of Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi from long, long ago, and far, far away: ‘“Mos Eisley spaceport: You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We…
(Illustration found here) Bright-sunny Wednesday here on California’s north coast, a bit of chill was in the ocean breeze, though, and now near evening-dark, there’s a bite to the cool — clear usually means cold, overcast and rainy, warmer. According to WunderBlog, we’re to expect sunny days until Sunday, then a forecast for rain, and…
Cold and dark this Monday evening on California’s north coast — although sunny most of the day, the late-afternoon got cloudy and deep gray — not abnormal around here for just about anytime of the year. All-in-all a depressing period — winter… And today marked another start to the work week, and along with that…
Overcast and chilly this Wednesday evening here on California’s north coast — winter’s about here… Beyond our aggravating political circus, this afternoon I spied a couple of new studies on marijuana, both furthering normalization. First one was about conduct — as more US teens now smoke cannabis then cigarettes, new research indicates pot use won’t…
Insult to injury sort of, climate change continues unabated — new report yesterday on greenhouse gases from the World Meteorological Organization Bad bottom line per Common Dreams: “The last time the Earth experienced a comparable concentration of CO2 was 3-5 million years ago, when the temperature was 2-3°C warmer and sea level was 10-20 meters…
Overcast this Wednesday evening on California’s north coast — rain this morning and on into the early afternoon, dry now. A weird holiday display and the obviously sad difference between Obama and the T-Rump Former President Barack Obama made a surprise visit to a Chicago food bank on Tuesday, lending a helping hand to volunteers tasked…
Way-appropriate emotional point on this eve of the big-bang Ballot Day:: Just the gut feeling — you want to feel optimistic, you want to lean-into the wondrous polls calling for a Blue Wave, but the anguish-horror of failure — if Republicans keep the House, and Senate, or even if the midterm is a return to…
Bright and windy this late-afternoon Thursday on California’s north coast, a typical weather episode this time of year — overcast-moist and chilly until late morning, then followed by another gorgeous afternoon, though, a bit blustery.. I’d like to figure, maybe this be ‘early summer‘ (has the earmarks), but only time will forecast the future. The…
