War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Thickly overcast with just a slight sprinkle this near-noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, and although we got rain-hammered last night, hopefully, the most-potent downpour is gone for a while. An ‘atmospheric river’ that collided with the coast yesterday will still play out in more wetness and subsequent flooding for days to come. Water…
Dark-gray overcast this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — a contrast to a beautiful morning we had with blue skies and way-plenty of sunshine. Although it started deteriorating about noonish, it still for a while was about as good as it gets for this time of year. Now just sooty and depressingly sad.…
(Illustration found here.) Drizzling rain and cold this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley as wet weather continues on into the new year — we set rainfall records on Friday and Saturday for my area and according to our NWS regional office more heavy rainfall is forecast for this week. Up to an inch…
In the spirit of a brand-new year this Sunday evening, so it is with another call-out plea to please buy my novel, “Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona,” self-published last March by Outskirts Press, and help generate a literary following of some note. And, too, make me some money, which is not such a terrible…
Barbara Walters seemed like Queen Elizabeth — she was always there. And now there’s a gap in life and a hole in the history of the now. I came of age under the journalism of Walters and the notion of shit that’s taken for granted nowadays was on the edge of breaking news for more…
Thus, sing The Beatles — rain plus-more rain this miserable near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley as we’re on the leading edge of another ‘atmospheric river‘ gushing toward us from the coast. In fact, according to weather people, a couple of those environmental phenomena are forecast to be heading our way with a lot…
Thick, cold fog this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — yet better off than a sizeable chuck of the US right now. A frozen bomb has put millions of Americans in the dark, and, in a near-unprecedented freeze. Despite all the huge, nerve-rattling political news this past week — seemingly two personalities gained…
Slight slivers of blue sky this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley after a day of thick, cruel tule fog, though, a scenario likely to repeat itself for the next few days. Despite the whine, I’m living in a rather nice place compared to a massive chunk of America right now. Weather is becoming…
Another foggy and chilled-air day here in California’s Central Valley, and this Monday evening keeps the shitty-weather ball rolling once again — I’m not too fond of this time of year in these parts. Spring seems so, so far away. Nevertheless, today was a kind of footloose, fun day in the new cycle. Beyond the…
Cold this early-evening Saturday here in California’s Central Valley. Another near-typical seasonal day with our shitty tule fog heavy in the morning and burning off into a nice, sunny afternoon — weather the weather. A major concern is whether we can. Beyond the weather outside, the tempo of America’s social/political environment is channeled through one…
