“It has always seemed strange to me,” said Doc. “The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.”

Christmas greetings to my fellow @SDF members, and to the larger #Mastodon Fediverse!

I made this image of Monterey's Cannery Row Christmas tree back in 1994, making it a bit of a historical record, even though the scene hasn't changed much since.

This photograph is available as wall art, and can also be printed on a variety of gift items. More info: https://james-toy.pixels.com/featured/cannery-row-christmas-tree-james-b-toy.html
