War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A bit of thin, high overcast this early Thursday morning on California’s northern coast, allowing the near-half moon to glimmer through the clouds — and it’s cold, too. In this particular set-up, I haven’t seen any of the Quadrantid meteor shower which is supposed to be burning through earth’s upper layers this morning, creating a…
Another clear and cold morning here on California’s northern coast and if the last couple of days are any indication, this one too should turn out pretty nice. Weather up here is hard to gauge — we can summer days in January and winter days in June. Life is a bit loco up here —…
Wind is really howling this morning along California’s northern coast, but no rain yet as we’re forecast as 100 percent today. Right now the air feels dry, the noise level high. Meanwhile, the US Midwest is getting thrashed: People traveling early for Christmas in the center of the country will be dashing through the snow…
Rain pattering down here this morning on California’s northern coast with a forecast scheduling thunderstorms and cold winds — same as yesterday, but here at the edge of the Pacific, Monday turned out clear, sunny and kind of warm. The rain today is expected to be heavy at times, even with some hail thrown-in for…
(Illustration above found via BagNewsNotes. Artwork out front found here). Up this morning in a sad, but way-pissed mood. And like Jon Stewart’s faux news, reality and truth is way-better explained nowadays from such locations than anywhere else — a mournful, indignant situation: Americans reported feelings of overwhelming disgust with whatever abhorrent bastard did this…
Overcast with a drizzly fog this morning along California’s northern coast with rain expected some time later today. Winter here is wet, and can get cold, but considering other parts of the country, way-mild. And considering climate, the worse is yet to come — according to New Scientist, weather forecasts for the way-near-future are looking…
Rain, rain and more rain as the storms keep pounding us here on California’s northern coast, and the end is still a couple of days away. Right now a few minutes from the weak light of a dawn, we’re in what’s considered a light rain stretch, which in the parlay of the moment could mean…
My favorite/standard Thanksgiving screed, via Mr. Mark Twain: “Thanksgiving Day, a function which originated in New England two or three centuries ago when those people recognized that they really had something to be thankful for — annually, not oftener — if they had succeeded in exterminating their neighbors, the Indians, during the previous twelve months…
Howling weather again this early Tuesday morning on California’s northern coast as some big storms have pounded the region, though way-much-more up in Oregon and Washington states — what we’re getting here is most likely just flutters off them. Still ain’t pretty — we’re forecast for heavy rain and wind for the rest of the…
One crucial element off the World Trade Center attacks was fright, and from this fear arose a desire coupled with the technical ability to scrutinize perceived enemies, real or maybe politically imagined. The ongoing David Petraeus freak show details how this shit can morph into something way different — and all US peoples should beware…
