The Sun Also Rises


Last night neighbor Bob came down and helped diagnose a problem with our camper. After months of trying to solve a mystery, we confirmed that The Commander apparently got the right answer. The battery on the camper was discharging too quickly. It turned out a hidden switch controls the defrost cycle. The switch was in the on position. After taking care of that, Lord Kadizzle invited Bob for a snort of Dennis's elixir. Strangely Bob mentioned how well he slept the last time we drank the elixir. Dennis makes the concoction by mixing sugar, plums, and vodka, or rum. Last night we did a little rum. Lord Kadizzle slept very well. Also he went to bed around nine. The net result was he woke up at 4.25 ready to face the day. To his amazement daylight was already beginning to peak over the horizon. This far north that can happen. The longest day is still down the road. One of the good things about North Dakota is that they make the days long when they need to be.
