War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Thick, gray light this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — a heavy, wet fog layer is blanketing the area, and although there’s supposedly a warming trend for the end of the week, not much effort on the shoreline with this marine mantle covering us. Also foggy is the infantile approach to marijuana, though, a…
In the wake of pyrotechnic Fourth of July celebrations this past weekend and the noted ‘exceptional’ peoples back-slapping we all seem to do on this particular holiday, there also should be a pause for reality. And real reality, not history figured full of ‘truthiness‘ and fitful fantasy. Time allowed the creation of a historical atmosphere…
A light-overcast through a thin marine layer this early Friday on California’s north coast — a bright-gray light to end the work-week. Appears as if yesterday: quick burn-off, a warm afternoon tempered by a cool breeze (maybe low-70s at the shoreline) — the interior, however, continues to fry fairly-well. In the forests and mountain valleys…
Overcast with thick-gray clouds this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, supposedly another episode in a mundane weather routine — fog tainted with sunlight, rinse and repeat. However, I do so-prefer here than the three-digit temperatures found in the interior, away from these shoreline breezes. We’ll top in the mid-60s today most-likely. Seems little Eddie…
Faded, washed-out sunshine this afternoon on California’s north coast as clouds/fog keeps the bright, and the temperature, down to a low level. A chilly breeze compliments the ambiance — not unpleasant outside, though. In the last 19 years, 23 US states and the District of Columbia have approved the medicinal use of cannabis, while Washington,…
Overcast with enough thin clouds for a occasional ray of sunshine to peek through this Memorial Day afternoon on California’s north coast — a chilly breeze, too. War is on the mind today — during his annual speech at Arlington National Cemetery, President Obama did acknowledge there’s a break in the action, and the first…
Overcast and chilly this afternoon here on California’s north coast — the fog was way-thick earlier, but now ever so often sunshine peeks through the mists, so all’s not too bad. What’s real bad is that oil spill down in Santa Barbara, and Dick Cheney. Seems The Dick figured wrong, right when it really counted…
Overcast and chilly this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — the NWS forecasts ‘isolated showers,’ which is short for ‘on-n-off drizzle,’ though, we’re scheduled for some decent downpour any time starting right about now. Anyone living near a shoreline feels the influence of the wind, which is generally temperature-fueled by ocean water — a…
Overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and from my little back-patio perspective, looks like some patchy ground fog, too. Earlier, the NWS also nailed our situation just about right with a forecast of ‘becoming sunny‘ for today — if conditions continue. Sunshine yesterday afternoon was a bit tepid, but par for the course,…
Hazy sunshine this afternoon along California’s north coast with fog apparently just waiting to cover the sky — nice with a cool, brisk breeze right now, but the light is fading on us. Odd how the darker it gets here in mid-afternoon, that some natural instinct in the brain (maybe just my brain) thinks also…
