Throw in this pandemic which is raging again and the slow stuttering pace of vaccinations and it is enough to drive me to the edge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2aC8M1s\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/1892\/44384814502_b5ef0ca7be_z.jpg\" alt=\"20180902-151828-3\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So what does all this have to about donkeys? Nothing really except I was going to have a post about the dirty dozen and one senators who are contesting the election and I was going to post photos of 13 donkeys. Problem is that donkeys are a democratic party symbol. Elephants are a GOP symbol but you know I think elephants are a symbol of wisdom to me, and besides I don&#8217;t have 13 photos of elephants but 95 of donkeys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/21cLij7\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4577\/38201817166_2af5c64655.jpg\" alt=\"20171107-163430-2\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And besides donkeys are useful. Most of the ones here are guard donkeys that ranchers use to protect their livestock against coyotes and other predators. The dirty dozen plus one are not protecting anybody against anything.
