I posted this before, but mislabeled and misattributed it. It's the Code of Doc Savage, as created by John Nanovic. Still a worthy code (and my own personal oath) and I carry it in my wallet.
"Let me strive every moment of my life to make myself better and better, to the best of my ability, that all may profit by it. Let me think of the right and lend all my assistance to those who need it, with no regard for anything but justice. Let me take what comes with a smile, without loss of courage. Let me be considerate of my country, of my fellow citizens and my associates in everything I say and do. Let me do right to all, and wrong no man."

"The Artist's Garden at Vétheuil," Claude Monet, 1881.
An Impressionist painting of a garden crowded with sunflowers. A path goes vertically through the middle, leading to a set of steps to a house, with some of the walls and roof visible. A child stands halfway up the path. The sunflowers are in full bloom and the sky is bright blue with puffy clouds; it all seems like a bright summer day.

"Ramón Subercaseaux in a Gondola," John Singer Sargent, 1880.
An Impressionist portrait. We see a well-dressed man of the late 19th century, seated in a Venetian gondola, with the canal visible in the right third of the canvas. He sits alone in a two-seat couch, and a red-and-white striped awning shades him. He is sketching in a book, with his eyes directed at the viewer; evidently he is observing while being observed.

So, I walk into my favorite bar. Fling myself into an available barstool. And then I realized seated two stools down was a I know. And we completely, totally, 100% detest each other.

My cousin is here, six and a half feet tall, built like an armoire, and I always have questions about him. And occasional unclean thoughts.

Trump: "The department of everything. We have a department of everything. You know what that is? I think that's called the White House. Into a terrible situation caused by a man named Sleepy Joe Biden. He used an autopen last year for the turkey's pardon."

Yep- Trump just called Gov Pritzker "a big, fat slob" during the traditional White House Turkey pardoning. And then went on to say he never calls people names.
Not only that, uses this occasion to bloviate about his administration's accomplishments.

"El Cid (Lion Head)," Rosa Bonheur, 1879.
A Realist portrait of a male lion, done in great detail, visible from the shoulders up and almost filling the canvas. He looks steadfast and determined, not at us but somewhere over our right shoulder.

"Woman with Morning Glories," Katsushika Ōi, c. 1820s.
A Japanese ukiyo-e print. To the right, a woman in a kimono sits on the floor. Her kimono is black with an underdress of red-and-white and red-and-blue, and her hair is elaborately done. She holds a fan with what appears to be a pattern of clouds or waves, and seems to be looking down at a piece of paper held behind the fan; a letter? A poem? To the left, a bowl of morning glories sits on a tray, that at a glance looks like a bathroom scale.

Wet, gloomy days in November have a uniquely "November" quality to them. Chilly dampness penetrates, overcast skies oppress, reluctance to face the world abounds.
