War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
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.

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.

Beyond the national horror of Republicans acting like cruel, tasteless buffoons — Ketanji Brown Jackson is a treasure — the war in Ukraine…
Doomscrolling through news events this late Wednesday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley, I flashed across this T-rump news story of the worse kind — the reality behind last month’s New York DA dustup over prosecuting the asshole, allowing the weasel to most-likely skirt the law once again. Prosecute to aid democracy and justice —…
Sunshine and warmth this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley. Spring has sprung so summer won’t be long in coming — words to weed. Meanwhile. Ukraine has tragic consequences beyond its borders. Today, UN Secretary General António Guterres, in a video address to a conference on sustainability run by the Economist newspaper in London,…
Clear and windy this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — winter’s officially over! Earlier this morning (8:33 AM PDT) there sprang the March equinox — also called the vernal equinox — and the first day of spring.
