The Crazy Club

When you are retired and live in Hazen, it is like being home on a school day. All of a sudden you realize everybody is gone. However, you soon find the other crazies that are not in school. People who all march in line, and buy the party line from religion to politics are not very interesting. The crazies go against the tide and actually have a point of view. Some of the crazies, have no point of view they are just so confused it is entertaining. One of the crazies is in his mid sixties. He is building a tree house. Almost everyday Kadizzle updates the battle against the Hoopleheads, or the "son a bitches" with another local eccentric. Another crazy has no use for religion and the ensuing nonsense that goes with it. It is fun to talk to her and hear her stories of how she has to try to control herself around the "saved". Another crazy is determined that he must spend all his money before he dies so his wife does not get it, so he keeps buying trucks he doesn't need. Besides the crazies there is an abundant supply of Hoopleheads worried someone will get their gun, the Kenyan president will confiscate their bullets, or the latest rumor at the coffee shop will come true. "An idle mind is the devils playground". In the case of the Hooples and idle mind is just that an idle mind. The crazies on the other hand have decided to take their minds on a trip and at least it is entertaining.
