Reflections From a Murky Pond

Creepy Uncle Joe “Gaffemaster” Biden is an affable, personable, rather pleasant man from all appearances. He also comes across as being more sincere in action and words than most other career politicians. Sadly, he also comes across as “a bit slow,” “a wee bit confused,” and as someone slipping rather precipitously into his dotage.

Truly, it would be no kindness to install Biden in the White House, and it would certainly be a criminally negligent disservice to America and the world at large to do so since we’d always be one gaffe and/or one bit of confused rhetoric away from catastrophe.

Should some people be diligent and conscientious about wearing a protective mask during these ongoing days of the coronavirus pandemic? Yes, of course! People with underlying health conditions that make them more susceptible to COVID-19 or who are regularly in close contact with such people should wear PPE when out and about. And, people in locations or who are taking part in activities that would increase their risk of infection, e.g., healthcare workers, should protect themselves.

For far too many people though, their masks are more a statement than a means of disease prevention. Sadly, those masks say a lot about too large of a segment of America’s population, and little to nothing of what those masks say is complimentary to the wearers.

And everyone should pay attention to the fact that the fashion cartels have jumped on this phenomenon. That says even more about the mask devotees.

Mostly, it’s a great adverb. However, it doesn’t change things that much in the real world. Some things are effectively XOR binary toggles, and being mostly one thing still means that your actually something else.

And, this is especially true whenever the Lamestream Media, especially CNN, is spewing something these days, normally in an attempt to bolster the Democrats’ chances in any given election.

Meetings, normally via Skype or Zoom, are the one bit of corporate interpersonal interaction left for many in these ongoing months of the COVID-19 pandemic panic. They’re important! So, remember to change out of your new-normal businesswear and into your approved meeting attire. 😆

A Delightfully Dark Triptych

Triptychs, always a staple of the corporate decor end of commercial art – or, as I like to call it, lobby art. So, here’s a delightfully dark triptych that will liven up a space much more than most will. 😉
