Regret Sets In For Many Trump Voters


The other day I spoke with friends and former co-workers who I know voted for Trump. It turns out that some of their family members received a letter terminating their federal job. No severance pay, or unemployment benefits. 

They had been working for the federal government for years, and their contract stated that they could not be fired unless they had done something wrong. They could not believe what is happening. Some now say that the biggest mistake of their lives was voting for Trump. They voted for others to lose their jobs and civil rights, not for themselves.

I guess they didn’t believe Trump when he said….. “I don’t care about you, I just want your vote “. These Trump supporters are suddenly surprised that cruelty and revenge as a political strategy actually hurts people, until it affects them. 

Social Security, Medicaid, SNAP Benefits, Education Funding and Medical Research are next on the chopping block. Don't say you weren't warned.

The Sea Was Angry That Day My Friends


Yesterday, several weather alerts were issued regarding rough large breaking waves, and dangerous swimming conditions for the west and north part of the island.

While the states are bracing for more feet of snow, and the California raging wildfires, we are dealing with dangerous swimming conditions in the island. Despite the bad forecast about the coastal hazards in effect, I ventured out to take a couple of pictures.

I dared to take a couple of images at one of my favorite spots in my old neighborhood. I've never taken pictures of the angry sea before.

While I stood there trying to capture the tall waves barreling against the swing hanging from the tree, this reminded me of the George Constanza Marine Biologist Seinfeld episode. It sounds funny now, but last night I was scared to death watching breaking waves of 9 to 10 feet. Enjoy the picture!
