Gentle Viewer Patrick Kaine issued a challenge this summer indicating that on a certain dock (that Gentle Viewer and avowed Communist Tom W and I had insulted) would have on it, a Holiday Tree (Formerly known as Christmas Tree)

THIS IS WHAT I FOUND when I went to get a photo of it. A crappy fake little bush surrounded by ugly clutter.

This, Gentle Viewers, by extension, represents your Holidays. Enjoy.
