War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Raining on and off, hard-and-easy this early-evening Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — apparently we’re picking some of the remnants/final gasps of the big splasher the last few days from the LA area, plus reportedly there’s a low-pressure system swimming across the valley, dumping snow in the mountains/foothills, and dropping somewhat heavy precipitation on…
I’m 75-years old today, and was freakin’ born on a Monday — WTF! (Image found here.) In the passion of time, today was formed from just yesterday, or maybe 1978 (when I was 30). Seemingly, after I turned 70 in 2018, it’s so like I aged a shitload in only five years, with a surge…
Overcast and breezy warm just after the noon hour Friday here in California’s Central Valley — coolest day yet as we’re forecast for temps in the high 80s for today and the weekend as we continue our slide into seasonal change the easy way. Weather is a perspective ingredient centering on location. The same, too,…
Scattered clouds with occasional shivers of sunshine this near-noon hour Monday here in California’s Central Valley –we’re still dry and still awaiting rain from off Hilary, though, it apparently seems the blunt of the tropical storm’s presence is being felt to the south and east. We’re forecast for rain this afternoon, but it’s not supposed…
Weekend is upon us again — however, Friday is not on my mind during, let’s say, last Wednesday. Shit really doesn’t have to make sense to comply with all rules and regulations. Yesterday, though, was a porous news day with the awful-asshole T-Rump festering in the headlines and all in a good way. Even as…
Hot and getting hotter this near-about-noon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — triple-digit temperatures for this weekend and on into next week, too. Just part-n-parcel for the entire, freaking world. First, in keeping it cool and too cute:: A wonder in all this heat. Anyhow, back to the heat of all that shitty, unethical…
Sunshine and warm skies this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — once again, a day in the life. News nowadays makes me more than a little depressed. I doomscroll the InterWebs seeking ideas for a post and get so shitty-assed gloomy I don’t want to set at the laptop and write. Over the…
In the shitstorm of horror stories, we need to shine a glimmer of light in the Putin-addled darkness: In context with that — another good read in the Ukrainian/Russian sphere of nasty influence this afternoon is an interview at the Guardian with Nadya Tolokonnikova of the Pussy Riot quashings, and a look at the horror…
In a scenario right out of a horror movie, America is in the throes of a surging onslaught of gun violence as more weapons are made available to anyone with an apparent trigger finger and some mental problems, which by all accounts is quickly becoming a shitload of people. According to Gun Violence Archive, as…
This has been one unreal day as events unfolded in DC revealing we’ve a major problem with the forces unleashed by the T-Rump and his enablers. Although there was a delay lashed by fear and uncertainty (and one death), Congress is back to work on what had been in the past, a ‘procedural event,’ and…
