War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear skies this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — the moon a white light in the western sky. Weather that’s true or not, who’s to say? Indeed, as the dust settles a bit off last week’s string of shit, and President Obama did the right thing yesterday in putting young Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on trial…
In an age where down is down and the stakes are way-up high, President Obama’s leaked budget proposal (officially due this Wednesday) does cough up some change, but not really something the poors can live on: By comparison, Social Security is about 70 percent of the income of a typical retiree. Since President Obama’s proposal…
Raining this particular Sunday morning and warm — the last few days have been exceptional, temperatures most-amiable and it might be that summer’s coming quicker than expected. Up here on California’s north coast, however, weather is of the moment, and we have days in January like days in July, which makes any kind of long-range…
Nearly clear skies this early Friday, though, more rain is expected for us up here along California’s north coast, and it’s a bit chilly outside, too. One anniversary yesterday was nearly forgotten by most of the media — even I forgot it and it has more meaning for me beyond a big, huge scare: The…
Outside this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, I can hear the wind picking up and a definite chill-factor rolling across the area — we’re suppose to catch a major winter storm today and tomorrow, but who’s to know. And weather 76 years ago apparently helped prepare the German dirigible, the Hindenburg, for a bad…
Here we go again — another Monday morning here on California’s northern coast, facing a week ahead full of strange, wondrous and most-ugly shit from both inside and outside the noodle. High overcast with the near-full moon a puffer-ed, white eyeball staring through the clouds and occasionally winking, as in ‘wink, wink, nudge, nudge.’ Of…
Another Sunday morning, the last one of February, and the next few days will lead up to a new month but the same-old shit. On Friday, a legislative trigger will automatically snap back, force the hammer down and pop a cap at who/whatever’s in the vicinity – unfortunately, just about all regular Americans will catch at least…
Overcast, dark and gloomy this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, but not as cold as yesterday. No matter our weather, it ain’t nothing like the big storm getting ready to blanket Middle America with more than a foot of snow, and along with that, added into the mix will be lightning and sleet showers — whoa!…
Clear and a bit on the warm side this early Monday morning along California’s northern coast, and the air is apparently so clean, the muffled roar of the Pacific can be easily heard from my back patio. Among the wads of interesting things happening on this planet right now, the most terribly-interesting one is the…
Rain and warm this early Monday morning along California’s northern coast, encountering another apparent routine weather observation up here. It’s been wet lately, but with it has come the warm. This is winter — we can’t be choosy. Weather has been kind of odd a bit lately, but don’t know if it’s directly tied in…
