as one distinguished former president once said, “this is some weird shit.” Which since

it showed no signs of abating I started out by taking the Taco to V-town for a wash before

falling back into the Usual Rounds –

walk the dogs, continue with “Bent at Three Forks”, ride to the marina after late lunch and

do it all again day after day, hey.

Meanwhile currently here in America it’s ok – REALLY OK! – to be a World Class Asshole as our first Week with the Scowling POTUS [Piece of Totally Useless Shit] eloquently illustrates though

speaking from experience I can’t recommend such behavior; sooner or later the consequences come back to haunt you, and on an international scale they could be dire indeed…It would be helpful if somebody would show up to SHUT THE TRUMP UP before we’re all dead meat.

Not much chance of that, though, with every buff bozo billionaire in sight bending deeply down

in obeisance to His Scowliness no matter how unhinged his unceasing destructive

pronouncements become. In our [hopefully] parallel world where a foggy morning with more slow progress on “Bent” seemed the best I could manage, I managed, adjusting, zeroing in

on old ways of thinking and painting as well as fighting an unusually chill afternoon wind

on the way to the waters before returning to the continuing recreation areas’ daily

unrelentingly ignorant idiocies. OK, a lot to be ignored here…and, as that distinguished former

president said, a lot of it’s just totally weird shit, red meat to the their very base fan base.

So far at least life and commerce go on…but for how long?
