War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear sunshine and chilly temperatures this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — beautiful weather for the year. Not so beautiful anywhere else, though. Tip-top news story story this morning comes from Ferguson, MO — grand jury returns without an indictment against Darren Wilson, the cop who shot and killed Michael Brown last August. And…
Sunshine, high, fluffy clouds and a cool breeze this Saturday afternoon on California’s north coast — we’re supposed to have comparable conditions the next couple of days, but weather’s still weather, especially this close to the shoreline. A chance of rain by Tuesday. Along with the gut-wrenching, flinging bad shit into a high-tempered fan last…
A thick-drizzle and approaching dark-thirty here on California’s north coast — although we had a gracious fireball sunrise, shortly thereafter, a chunky overcast descended, and then mist, now onto a heavy drizzle. Although most-likely, maybe, the US (and the Democratic party) will get a grip on the upheaval that will be/ and is already resonating…
Cold and clear this early Thursday here on California’s north coast, a lightening-bright can be seen from my back patio, like a white bubble from the east. We’ve supposed to have a chance of rain, but right now not a cloud in the sky — last night was clear, too, and the moon appeared hugely-full,…
Chilly-air and overcast on the first Monday in November — every once in awhile this morning, my little section of California’s north coast does get washed with some cloud-filtered sunshine for a few minutes. Maybe if the wind kicks up a bit, so will the shine. Tomorrow is Election Day, but here on the Left…
Last paragraph yesterday from a story by Spencer Ackerman at the Guardian about how NSA people do as they please with government technology: Compounding the potential financial conflicts at the NSA, Buzzfeed News reported that the home of chief of its Signals Intelligence Directorate, Teresa Shea, has a signals-intelligence consulting firm operating out of it.…
Clear and chilly this early-morn Monday on California’s north coast — there’s a misty-bit of ground fog, which seems to sparkle and glow when sunshine reaches through it, creating for just seconds, the illusion of a way-colorful buzz to the air. Burns off pretty quick, though, if there’s no real off-shore wind. Despite the fireball,…
A fog-soaked early Friday here on California’s north coast, feels like it’s fog-soaked all over the world. The NWS calls it ‘patchy fog,’ but there’s not a empty/patchy spot anywhere, and we’re also forecast for a chance of ‘drizzle’ sometime today, which is just another word for ‘fog-soaked.’ Language the clue — due to hard-shell…
Misty, wet fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as the fall weather pattern fits more like summer — this attitude will rob us of the lunar phenomenon due tonight. A ‘blood moon‘ and its environs: Sometimes, when the moon dips into Earth’s shadow during an eclipse, the natural satellite takes on a coppery-red…
Another bright morning here on California’s north coast, and a Monday at that, and the summer-like weather continues as we’re forecast for ‘warm’ temperatures and gentle ocean breezes. All masquerading as weather. And climate, though, the latter is shifting. An observation: Just about every week recently there’s an environmental study/report/research released indicating some bad indicator…
