War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Ominous clouds approaching-thickly from the east this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, but around my apartment right now the sky is near-clear with just a wisp of white vapor way up — supposedly another nice day ahead. First, though, we’re most-likely going to get heavy-hammered with ground fog, which should burn off before noon,…
As speaking this morning how I constantly check the USGS earthquake map — about an hour ago, a 5.5 shaker, about 180 miles west of where I’m sitting on my ass, but didn’t feel a thing. And this latest wasn’t that deep, according to its USGS summary, only a bit more than six miles down. Earthquakes…
Thick and gray, layered-looking clouds cloak my little view along California’s north coast this early Monday — creates a gray, unimaginative wet perspective. Indeed, the NWS says maybe some light drizzle later today, and rain maybe tonight, but all rests on the word, ‘maybe,’ as weather is not way-totally predictable, especially this close to the…
Rain clouds hang thick and heavy in early light this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, a respite in a nice-sized storm pushing through southward. And apparently nearing its end for us, but did bring some good rain and snow up in the mountains. Yes indeed, we need all the rain we can get, but…
Bright sunshine and warm skies this near-about noon on California’s north coast, with today a short respite from drizzle and rain — a new storm expected tomorrow, and supposedly to last through the weekend. Yesterday, a new study reported on another possible deadly ‘epidemic‘ in the near future — being lonely, just as bad as…
Bright with a stiff chilly wind this afternoon on California’s north coast — another day in the retired life. The ongoing science-reality, horror-saga of Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant continues, now approaching the fourth anniversary of its infamous earthquake/tsunami meltdown. And the situation still sucks, bad. (Illustration found here). Via Newsweek this afternoon: The operator…
Sunny here mid-late-afternoon on California’s north coast — warm for awhile, opened windows for a time, too. Pleasant weather the last few days. This a post I actually started last week, but shoved aside, or maybe, let it be ‘trembled‘ aside — subject, “earthquake swarms.” Although I personally don’t like to see nefarious patterns like…
Clear and cold this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — right now about 35 degrees, with a high of maybe the low-50s, but supposedly a lot of sun. Seems to have gotten colder, quicker this year. Or life in the age of warm (via NBC News): ‘First off: heat. Combined land and sea temperatures…
Bright sunshine and a cool breeze this afternoon — the day keeps on going. Oddly paradoxical, a couple of new environmental-related studies reported today reveal the weirdness and tragedy of climate change. One is on natural effects, and the other on human affects. An aspect of global warming — the greenhouse effect — is that a…
Raining and a bit windy this early Monday here on California’s north coast — good spitter-spatter last night and through this morning, totals could be half-an-inch, maybe. We’re forecast a wet stretch for at least a week. Seems the rainy season has gotten off to a slower start that last year — according to the…
