War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Fog and coldness once again this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — close to finishing out an average day set in a not-average age. Also end of the fabled work week on a note of surreal images of a time of pure weirdness. Apparently, not a heavy-duty Friday news dump today, thus we…
Deep ‘tule fog‘ this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — a normal day in a becoming more abnormal of a new year. Some shit that caught my eye/ear this morning/afternoon — getting weird out there. First off some sweet normal — Joe Biden was in Raleigh, NC, today and while there made a…
(Image/illustration found here.) Sunshine and seemingly not-so-chilled wind this Wednesday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley — a respite from the cold rain and fog we’ve been experiencing the last month of so. Despite the calendar time gap, I’m ready/wanting some heat. And in connection with the word, ‘heat,’ today another piece-of-shit climate-change news, and…
In just a couple of weeks of a new year, we’ve gotten a tally on how shitty this election coming to ground already is going to be — here this Tuesday afternoon, last night’s Iowa frozen votes reveals the T-Rump is running the show. Despite all the actual horror of the Orange Turd, he’s not…
NOTE: This a re-post of a significant memory detail from the distant past, seemingly really, really relevant today. This is an essay-like piece of mine from a way-while back, originally published Dec. 30, 2007, at a long-gone site where I tried to put an online news-type magazine together, but quickly failed. Appeared here at Compatible…
A wet-gray and cold late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley. Although kind of nasty outside, it’s nothing compared to a giant chunk of the US right now, from super-freezing snow storms in the midwest to tornadoes in the south — the weather’s shitty all over. Americans seem aware that despite the winter conditions, climate…
UPDATE: Overnight problems — nothing serious, surgery re-scheduled for next month. Eye surgery again tomorrow at the Fresno VA so the posting here will be slim to none the next few days. This is part two of two parts — right eye in November, left tomorrow — in a cataract surgical procedure. It’s a same-day…
Another Monday in a new year with a lot of hold-over shit still bubbling along, especially with the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot at the US Capitol three years ago a forefront news item that will most likely impact this upcoming election year. If you didn’t know T-Rump was a cruel, shitface asshole, now’s the time. Especially…
Clear and cold this early-evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — big winter weather punching most of the country right now and maybe into next week. Snow and freezing temps as the season blows across the US. Here in the valley, outside this afternoon cold-ass wind off a way-cold front from the Gulf of…
Instead of a remembrance post this Saturday evening on the third anniversary of the horrid insurrection/riot at the US Capitol — such accounts which you can find all over the InterWebs today, memorials replayed so shitty with tons of actual video clips of the violently-startling, near-surreal event — I’m offering another literary solicitation to purchase…
