A rainy day with members of the trail crew

 2026, and what will Trump do to fuck up a one car funeral. Sorry for the expletive, but reading about Trump and the money he has takin in bribes, and shady dealings is astounding. Trump's level of immorality seems like something no one could ignore, yet the MAGAs do. Some old friends we worked with on the trail crew spent the night. It was nice having them and they were treated to a terrific fireworks show last night. Our home is in the perfect spot to view the displays. Everyone on the trail crew has crumbled to the point volunteer work for the Forest Service is over. Trump has decimated public lands by cutting funding. Trump's revenge presidency serves no one but the rich. 

Afred Indigo, more commonly known as A.I.

 If you have not consulted Alfred Indigo you should. Artificial Intelligence is mind boggling. It will change the world. Kadizzle has used it for a variety of task and the speed it accomplishes task are incredible. Apparently Alfred is capable of searching the entire internet in a matter of microseconds. Many jobs will be affected. Simple task will all be relegated to A. I.  Get used to it, the world is changing. 

Now for the bad news, if someone like Trump uses it for his dictatorship we are all toast. China, and other regimes like Iran have already used A.I. to suppress human rights. The combination of facial recognition, and A. I. will be used to intrude in your life in a way that will amplify paranoia to the tenth degree. 

Enjoying Our Fire Pite

 A feature of our new home is a fire pit on the patio.  With neighbors, children, and other friends it has been an enjoyable place to sit and watch the sun go down. We have found a good source for almost free firewood. A local business that splits wood and sells it ends up with scraps that did not split nicely. They may not split nicely, but those pieces burn nicely. What is it about a natural fire that inspires people? Humans evolved around fire. Somewhere Kadizzle read our brains could not have developed without cooked food. No other animal cooks its food. Cooking makes more calories available to digest, and the human brain requires a lot of energy. Sadly Trump's brain has so little energy for anything but chaos and hate. 

A Good Neighbor Passed Away

Living in Hazen, North Dakota we had the best neighbor a person could have. In fact we had many good neighbors. Dallas went to heaven Christmas Eve. Dallas had a good long life. We spoke to Marlyn just this morning and found out. She is every bit as wonderful as Dallas. We spent so many good days on their deck and at their dinning room table. We helped them every way we could and they paid us back immensely. Dallas owned the grocery store in town. When Dallas had us over for a steak dinner we got the best. Dallas loved birds and was well known for attracting Wood Ducks. His yard was always one of his key projects. Often we discussed philosophy and Dallas had some good stories. Dallas added a lot to our lives and so many others. He will be missed.

The Hitch Hiker

Kadizzle was coming back from Cottonwood. He was there to take his sister to the doctor. On the way home he noticed a tall guy with a backpack trying to get a ride. Since Kadizzle has been saved many times hitch hiking by kindness he stopped and offered the guy a ride. The tall man threw his backpack in the back of the Trump. When he got in he apologized for smelling bad. He was a little ripe and we cracked the window for some air. He happened to be going to Payson, where Kadizzle was headed. He was extremely delighted. As we headed toward Payson somehow he mentioned two cheeseburgers for six dollars. Kadizzle stopped at McDonalds and got us each a cheeseburger. As we headed up the mountain it became more and more apparent the man was a mental case. He explained how he made a living carving birds from wood and said his goal was to get some alligator juniper. His plan was to sleep behind the Wallmart.  Kadizzle had a hard time hearing him, but the man went into religious nonsense. One shocking thing he said was how he would find food in the Payson dumpsters.  Apparently Payson has a good dumpster menu.  He said so many strange things it is hard to list them all. One story was about how he got caught 2 years in the future. It wasn't good.  Kadizzle began to look forward to letting him out.  

Coffee Time

 It is a typical day. The wife and her husband are up at six having coffee, perusing the internet. Never has more ink been wasted on one man then the Trump insanity. Perhaps Kadizzle is beating a dead horse, but he never thought he would see the United States plunge into such idiocy. The dumbest brick walking around with a Trump hat must know at some level he has been duped. Everyday Trump provides more evidence he is insane, a dictator, and a man with the mind of a child. How do the Trump supporters ignore the pyramid of evidence Trump is the worst sort of con man scum. Trump has surrounded himself with people who share his mental illness. What has our county come to. Can we restore sanity to the United States?

How can you miss it?

Kadizzle is apparently “obsessed” with pointing out that Donald Trump is insane. Guilty as charged. But how can anyone not notice?

Trump’s latest stunt—mocking former presidents by insulting them beneath their official portraits—is just another trip to the bottom of the barrel. It’s petty, childish, and beneath the office he once held. And it fits a pattern.

The lies have gone from bad to absurd. Trump recently claimed, for no known reason, that 28,000 people were killed by snakes in Peru. Twenty-eight thousand. The actual number? Six. This isn’t exaggeration; it’s fantasy.

Then there’s his promise to “reduce drug prices by up to 400%.” That’s not reform—it’s mathematical gibberish. Prices can’t be reduced by more than 100% unless pharmaceutical companies are paying people to take their pills. This is what happens when slogans replace thought.

At this point, it’s clear: Donald Trump doesn’t think in facts, logic, or reality. He thinks like a toddler who believes saying something loudly makes it true. He confuses dominance with leadership and delusion with strength.

Trump doesn’t want to govern. He wants to rule. In his mind, he isn’t a president—he’s a king. And the most alarming part isn’t that he believes it. It’s that millions of people still pretend not to see it.
