I had photographed some flowers today, beautiful flowers, but I decided I'd save them for a later BLOG post.  The news from Washington is grim.  The President is determined to ignore the Constitutional imperatives and to continue to issue papers to keep out Muslims and all other groups that he considers his personal enemies.  He is using the supposed threat of Islam to America to represent his own inability to deal with conditions that seem to him to be negative responses to him personally.  My mood is best represented by the coastline to the north of San Diego.  It is bleak and forbidding and imposing and strong.  That is what the President is going to encounter throughout his four years in office. The America I know is not the America Trump continues to believe he can mold into whatever shape that pleases him.  This is a strong country that will not change itself to match Trump's wishes for a country he can "whip" with tweets into whatever shape he prefers.

It is important for all of us who recognize what a mistake his election represents to simply resist and wait.  He will continue to be his own worst enemy.
