One comment received regarding the painting was much appreciated. The point was made that it may depict men standing, backs to the viewer, wearing sombreros. I think of this when the huge, staring eye ball gets oppressive ... and it helps. It helps relieve the oppression, that is. Nothing can be done about the ugly.
This morning we ate breakfast in the restaurant by the pool. Strawberry jam accompanied the toast and I include a photo for your reference.
You will notice the tiny tub's corners are rounded except at bottom right. In my experience this is where one may obtain grip on a loose part of the cover and peel the entire thing back. The makers of this product thought differently however and super-sealed the entire cover to prevent the most finely honed fingernail from wedging it apart. In other words, this jam is sealed for the ages. We had four of these. I should note that after prying, scraping, clawing, and puncturing the first cover we discovered the prize to be astonishingly anticlimactic, moving us to call off our assault on jam tub number two. We learned the two whole strawberries depicted on the cover must be understood symbolically.
So much for the day's start. Evening found us walking hand in hand along the beach taking in the splendor of another sunset. A precious advantage of spending time on the Pacific shore is the unobstructed and recurring treat of sunsets. So here is another photo ...

Hello Edwin, don't be stubborn, admit it is sombreros on heads. Carol
