It is snowing, once again. Depth of snow is 1 cm, and it may be that the snow melts away today.

This morning I walked for 1 1/2 hours, and the rubber boots were useful as the paths were muddy and the swamps and ditches were flooding.
Donald Trump is seeping deeper and deeper into the mire. "The president is incorrect" applies to everything he does, not only the lies but also the mistakes and the stupidities, not to speak of the money-grabbing.

The snow from yesterday melted away during the night. It rained in the morning, and I got wet when riding the bicycle. In the afternoon the temperature rose to 7 °C, and it was still wet even though the rain stopped.

Today I was somewhat lazy and commuted by car and train. It rained over 20 mm during the day, and the temperature was 8 °C, with plenty of wind. For tomorrow the weather forecast promises more rain, but not quite as much as we got today.
The posting title refers to Trump and his minions, of course.

It starts to be the time of the year when the number of people commuting by bicycle starts to decrease. On the other hand, some people have already installed studded winter tires to the bicycle, and are thus prepared for the slippery roads.

The photographs were taken at Niihama outdoor area in Tampere on September 9th. The two women in canoes were discussing how great it is to see all the shades of grey on the rainy lake. (I couldn't avoid hearing their voices.)
There is not much to say about Trump and the humanitarian crisis in Puerto Rico. His incompetence and laziness is remarkable, the biggest in the world. But in Puerto Rico people have no electricity or drinking water, roads are blocked and help is coming too late. Not to forget such details as the fact that Trump owes 33 million USD to Puerto Rico after his golf club there went bankrupt.

This morning while walking I thought about the catastrophe of Trump and his minions. Trump's inferiority complex is vast and deep (maybe a world record), and everything he does is compensation for it. In fact there is a book discussing this topic (among others), A Clear and Present Danger: Narcissism in the Era of President Trump by Steven Buser et al. One could argue that the inferiority complex is the biggest danger we are facing right now in the world.

The photographs were taken at Niihama outdoor area in Tampere on September 9th. It was a rainy day, and few people were out walking. This was the first time to visit Niihama, but probably not the last.
So far this year I have got 5,005 km riding the bicycle.
