A week later, with Trump Triumphant riding into D.C. on his Elephant of Convenience in what is popularly seen as an extremely hostile takeover [and possibly permanent disruption but Hey, Silicon Valley Guys, “disruption’s” great, right?] of America’s admittedly lame political system I skipped the Festivities and celebrated by having my teeth scraped.

In the week preceding we took green but flooded walks despite intermittent rains,

remaining chill,

damp and interior;

the sunny days being all the more photogenic.

Friday, as crater lake deepened on the corner of West Second and “G”,

and Lee’s Nevada house took a snow day [off, looked like] I did my best to miss the unrelentingly depressing celebrations.

We had dark skies and squalls all that dismal day…

while bits of the New Propaganda seeped in despite; ABC sent their local news anchor to Patriotic Washington for the Festivities, and with a purple [!] tie he’s already beginning to sport a Trumpish mullet in imitation of the poo-bah-in-chief whose own ‘look’ has always been a poor imitation of network news anchor dweebs everywhere…at least they have more of a chance at approximating the appearance of the current Sheep Dip than they could ever the previous Dignity, but none of this is any kind of laughing matter.

Cockroach! [as a verb = dive for the cracks, harass and resist!]

etc.
