War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Image: ‘Atmospheric Rivers Painting,’ acrylic on canvas, by Jan Routh, and found here.) Sprinkling rain and chilly this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — for the first time in a great while, Leroy and I couldn’t take our morning walk, as it’s just too cold to venture out, even into a sparsely-wet environment.…
One of the big stories today came from Tucker Carson’s Fox News crap-fest last night, using selected portions of the Capitol building’s security tapes from Jan. 6 — Kevin McCarthy gave Carlson full access to the footage — and the Tucker-turd went full bullshit, calling the insurrectionists/rioters as “sightseers,” and not bloodthirsty, coup shitheels. I…
Overcast with occasional slivers of sunshine this early afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — a contrast to this morning’s gorgeously clear and warm environment, but right now a seemly preview of the days to come. Supposedly, we’re heading into a way-wet period starting maybe tomorrow, with another ‘atmospheric river‘ due by the weekend…
Clear skies and fading sunshine this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley.– a wildly gorgeous day compared to the last week, especially this morning when it might have been considered almost warmish, an interlude between cold-ass rain. And of the cold-ass land, we’re in a comfort zone compared to the rest of California, which…
In lieu of the normal political/climate change clusterf*ck reverberating across our life screens right now to a near-real-time post on a TV binge I’m currently undergoing this late Wednesday morning. I am way-crazy repeat viewing of various shows kind of person, certain series that make me feel a certain way for a small amount of…
Sunshine galore and cold this late-afternoon Wednesday here in Calfornia’s Central Valley — supposedly a few days of sunny respite from the heavy wet, though, more rain forecast for the weekend. Meanwhile, in the Ukraine war zone, it appears Vlad Putin’s troops/army is losing big time, not only in human troops killed or wounded but…
Drizzling rain in way-chilly wind this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, continuing this winter’s wettest-in-a-while season of storms and weather-whatnot (chaos and turbulence). Despite the way-wet environment, we’re not that bad off where I’m located — a goodly chunk of the state is snowbound, along with all that implies, like no power and…
Rain and cold wind this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley — we are still in the throes of our second big winter storm in less than two months of the new year as snow in LA is not a movie about cocaine in Hollywood. We’re forecast for maybe some sunshine toward the end…
Of course, due to the hardcore musical fact Led Zeppelin’s 1971 “Stairway To Heaven” is so known, so overwhelmingly continuously common, the riff of all time can’t be played without a music-store employee going “a little funny in the head” without the proper drugs to soothe the earworms. The song has withstood the test of…
Here we are with another plea this Saturday afternoon to please, please buy my novel, “Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona,” on sale now. In effect, though, in about two weeks, ‘Corona‘ will actually have been on sale for a whole, full-year — I self-published in March 2022 via Outskirts Press — and being shitty…
