War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Beyond whether or not the T-Rump will attend the funeral for Queen Elizabeth, the war in Ukraine is again nailing the top news story for the day — and a bonus is how the Ukrainian military played the Russkies like a cheap-suited fiddle in a way-low-brow chess match: In a quick-read essay this morning at…
Partly overcast with dollops of clouds mingled with sharp sunshine this late-afternoon Sunday in California’s Central Valley — first time in a decent-sized while it’s not unpleasant outside with temps now down in the 80s. Although the NWS shows heavy rain all around us, the middle of the valley will most-likely not see any wet…
(Illustration of Belgorod submarine, and found here.) Hot and maybe feels a bit humid, too, this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — but make no mistake about the weather, it’s getting more summer by the day. In the flush of the news shit today — and there have been plenty — I came…
Spotty sunshine with thick, white cloud cover this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — also, a brisk breeze all day long has kept the outside ambiance remarkably cool. Reportedly expected to stay this way all week with more-seasonable weather (i.e., hot!) forecast for the weekend, and most-likely to continue warming up until triple-digit…
Sunny and pleasant this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — rain maybe tomorrow, but that’s another day. Let’s just wait and see as weather is always dry nowadays even when it’s dampishly wet.

Sunshine and still air this early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — cloudy and overcast for most of the day, and then for some reason,shifted to clear-blue skies late this afternoon. Turn-about is fair play in wearthering the environment. Meanwhile, the environment of reality on our planet is shitty and depressing. Constant pings of…
Sunny and warm this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — another weekend is upon us without a slow-down in this quickly-passing year. There’s a summer feel to the outside right now and there’s not much we can do about it. Scrolling the InterWebs during various times today, I could see maybe the heavyweight…
In the case of the horrid criminal conduct of war in the Ukraine by Vlad Putin’s Russian army with stories of inhumane incidents all over the invaded country every day — Joe Biden is just speaking for reality and justice: Once again, Joe speaks his mind, this time the reality of Ukraine — via The…
Windy and extra-nice this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — we set a temperature record yesterday (hottest on record for the day), but we way cooled today with some strong, refreshing gusts to keep the air from going hot on us. Rain is forecast for Monday and maybe later in the coming week,…
Sunshine and breezy this early-evening Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — weekend’s fine but shit doesn’t stop/close down on Friday. A terrible case in point comes naturally as Ukrainians clear the flailing Russian army from towns around Kyiv and other parts of the country, and along with the devastated infrastructure, the horror of senseless…
