I’m working to keep this blog positive for myself and you. I know we’re all aware of the coup, and the lies in the speech last night but today when I read that the Trump administration imposed a $1.00 credit limit on park employees, I felt my blood pressure rise.

Yesterday I was at the Muir Beach overlook.  I used the bathroom.  I used toilet paper. How are the employees supposed to buy toilet paper and resupply the bathrooms with no money?  How are they supposed to turn on the lights in the offices where they work?  How do they buy gas for the vehicles they drive to move from place to place?

What is the purpose?  It’s  cruel. 

I think of the Elizabeth Barrett Browning poem, How Do I love thee?  Let me count the ways.

For this administration their rule is: How do I hate and destroy this country?  Let me count the ways.
