another manic Monday

yup and just like that, Monday. creepy crap continues unabated. political bullshit seems to appear from out of nowhere. and then there's trump. what an asshole. of course all his little sycophants are assholes as well. why, it's appears to be an entire herd of assholes.
on another hand the wildfire smoke from the West Coast is back and couple that with the local wildfire smoke and I might just as well take up smoking again. there's absolutely no way I'm doing that again...ever but, the metaphor applies.
so it's on to imagery that somehow seem apropos for a Monday.
at a see shore -

and a floral bouquet -

the flowers are echinacea. go figure.
