Before sunrise Dave is up painting the
long drops. What is a long drop? In South Africa when you go camping
the servants dig a hole for the white folks to relieve themselves.
That is a long drop. Dave is the mother all volunteers. What other
guy over eighty would get up and paint long drops before sun up, and
Dave does it right.
Kadizzle made a big mistake. Kadizzle
told Dave “ If you need anything done let me know”. Those are
the wrong words for Dave. Later Dave showed up with two grabbers, a
bucket and some garbage bags. Dave said he had picked up the rodent
litter south on the Salt, but someone needed to patrol North. Since
Kadizzle needed some exercise he set off along the Salt River in
search of garbage prizes. Since Dave had been on steady patrol for
over a month there was very little litter near the campground.
However the littler does manage to come down the river. Kadizzle
first found a football. Everything was looking pretty good until
Kadizzle made it farther north. Then the damage done by the
industrial rodents began to appear, first a whiskey bottle, several
bottles with the water, beer or gatorade still in them and a few
other goodies.
As Kadizzle walked along the river bank
he thought about how to combat the rodents that litter. Kadizzle
decided to start the rumor among the fishermen and others that there
were hidden cameras aimed at catching the rats that ruin the
landscape.
While Kadizzle rummaged among the
bushes looking for the rat droppings of inconsiderate scum he noticed
a fisherman. Kadizzle asked the fisherman to report to the camp host
anyone littering. Before long Kadizzle realized the fisherman did
not speak a word of English. The fisherman had the appearance of an
illegal immigrant. When Kadizzle approached him he noticed a bag
full of what appeared to be dirt. Beside the fisherman were two
usable bed pillows. Perplexed Kadizzle wondered if the man was
sleeping on the river bank. If the pillows were not the fisherman's
then they were litter and should be removed. By using sign language
and what little Spanish Kadizzle could speak Kadizzle managed to
determine the pillows were trash. To very they were trash Kadizzle
opened the garbage bag an put them in. As Kadizzle left the
fisherman came over to him with something out of the dirt bag. It
was dried horse manure. In Spanish the fisherman was asking
something about the horse manure. Kadizzle thought he wanted to burn
it for a fire. That was wrong. The fisherman broke up the manure
and sprinkled it at the base of a tree. Kadizzle began to get the
idea. The fisherman wanted to know if he could take the horse
droppings home and use them in his garden. Kadizzle finally got the
message across that it was fine. He could have all the horse shit he
wanted. If only Kadizzle could speak Spanish he could have told the
fisherman to tune in to Rush Limbaugh for more.
