Somehow, it looked more ominous in news photos. It's still annoying when viewed in person, but also a bit sad and pathetic. #Trump #WashingtonDC

I am currently spending time in rural Virginia and West Virginia, in the pan handle. Anecdotally, I have been coming out here for years on family business. I am astounded by the lack of Trump presence at the moment. I have seen no banners, flags, stickers, hats or shirts, no Trump Stores hawking […]

A bitter sweet day, ending in a well worn ritual. The final pontoon ride, big struggle to get it onto the traiker after the power loaders have ruined the lake access, a nice chat with the guy who winterizes the boat, then a farewell-to-summer whiskey on the deck […] [Original post on c.im]

But Mr. Trump also appears determined to erect edifices that cannot be torn down after he is gone. He was enraged when his name was pulled down from residential buildings in New York City in protest after his first divisive political campaign in 2016, according to people close to him. Properties in other countries, including in Canada, followed suit.

Today I discovered an island of wild flowers hanging on between railroad tracks and a cement mixing company. I thought they deserved a round of applause, bringing a pinch of beauty to an otherwise blighted landscape. #bloomscrolling #urbanflowers #wildflowers

Small yellow sun flowers exist between a rail line and a cement truck on the left. Its a sunny day. A tall building visible in the distance.
