War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sunshine peeking through rain clouds this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and according to the NWS, another high pressure off the shoreline will bring gradual warming for a few days, and supposedly nice weather through the end of next week. One thing I really, really have grown to hate with my morning coffee is…
Bright and chilly this Monday morning on California’s north coast. A more-crisp feel to the air as we’re experiencing a lull in the rain for a few hours — the NWS had earlier invoked a ‘Frost Warning’ for our area, indicating winter a-coming. Another rain front expected later this afternoon with drizzles and such until…
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…
Bright with extreme-sunshine this early Friday along California’s north coast. Some high, wispy clouds, but otherwise clear-as-a-blue-bottom-bell. We’re in what we’d all consider as a ‘heat wave,’ temperatures this week have progressively gotten warmer, mid-to-high 60s today, maybe up into the mid-70s by Sunday. Supposedly then, another week of similar weather, not quite as warm,…
Orange-white light brightens the eastern skies this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — we’re forecast for overcast, increasing clouds and another rain front coming supposedly tomorrow, but for right now, there’s sunshine mingled with a bit of ground fog. Nice, but cold, though. Maybe another day like yesterday afternoon — most-likely one of those…
Still dark-thirty this Friday morning on California’s north coast, with high, thin clouds giving the bulged half-moon a fuzzy, sleepy, one-eyed appearance — still carrying a chill, though, with a high expected in the mid-50s. Odd, crude shape of the world — there’s an international, second-by-second hostage situation right now in Paris (via USAToday): ‘The…
Bright sunshine and clear skies this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast, and really warm — right now the NWS claims it’s 71 degrees, nearly summertime weather. Windows are open to a soft breeze that feels nice. Not nice is extreme fear. In the shadow of that Paris terror attack today, was this bit of…
Crystal-clear skies with stars twinkling all over — summer’s still here along California’s north coast and the living is more than easy. Yeah, right! No matter where you live and no matter what the skies look like, nothing is easy nowadays. Although the US Congress is not due back in session until next week, the…
(Illustration: Boston bombing suspects; white-hat guy still at large, the other, dead — found here). If those two deranged clowns pictured above truly are the Boston marathon bombers, that photo will become an iconic-terror symbol, easily understood and to become another snapshot in how dangerously-strange modern life has become — cool, calm, collected and total…
Since 9/11, social media has become today’s platform for expressing news and views. A sign on Facebook aptly summed President Obama’s political rejoinder to Republican provocateur Donald Trump: “Sorry it took me so long to get you a copy of my birth certificate. I was too busy killing Osama bin Laden.” Meanwhile, on Twitter, a…
