From monkey to dragon
=====================

In her surrealistic and often dream-state style, Patty Smith reminds
us in her book 'The Year of the Monkey' that the previous election of
Trump took place during the year of the monkey.

Reading her book in 2022, I thought that rather appropriate.

This time the election took place during the year of the dragon.

According to Wikipedia [1] the dragon character might have been
associated with scorpions.

I envision scorpions as ground-dwelling venomous creatures with a
small brain, and a preference for desolated landscapes.
