Laundry Day (click on pictures to make them appear correctly)


Logic prevailed and the lost shirt from the motorcycle ride was there in the middle of the remote road right where is was supposed to be.  The cycle ride up and down the famous road by Lake Apache early in the morning was splendid.

Kadizzle had to stop and take a picture of some tire tracks.  You could see where a car had actually gone over the edge with the tires by a few inches.  After the sandy edge of the road the cliff falls for hundreds of feet.  The tracks showed that about an inch or two of the tread was actually in mid air.  Why the sand did not give way and send the car over the cliff is a mystery.

After the great motorcycle excursion it was time to take action with Generator Willy.  Kadizzle wrote a note to Generator Willy and put it on the door of the camp host.  The plan was to have the anonymous note delivered to Generator Willy by the camp host.  The note simple asked Generator Willy to show some consideration and not run his generator all day long and late into the night.  After we returned from the laundry expedition Kadizzle checked with the camp host.  The camp host had delivered the note addressed to site 289.  Generator Willy claimed he was having all sorts of electrical problems and he had to charge the battery on the boat.  Of course you need to charge the boat battery every day.  The Camp host suggested to Generator Willy he move to the section of the campgrounds set aside for electrical addicts.  One camp area allows the generator gang to run 24 hours a day.  Well the curse continues with Generator Willy and it looks like our final choice is just to move ourselves.  It is sad when one person moves in and six have to leave.

Into town and get the laundry done.   The highlight of the laundry was the gun slinger.   In Arizona you need to carry a gun into the laundry mat and the grocery store.  The puzzle is the threat.  When Kadizzle saw the old codger in the grocery store with his 45 he wanted to ask " What vegetables are dangerous?  Is it the carrots, or the lettuce?  Gun slinger came over to Kadizzle at the laundry and said he was missing a sock.  Kadizzle was unarmed and feared this could turn into the classic western gun fight scene.  Kadizzle did not know what to do.  If Kadizzle said I don't have your sock the guy might say " Draw on me".   Kadizzle then thought he might just offer the guy a sock.  The gun slinger then said "I am always one sock short when I do my laundry".   I told the gun slinger to check his feet.  Kadizzled suggested maybe he only had one foot and so he should always come up with an uneven number of socks.   This was meant to humor Laundry Tex, but the joke had little effect on him.  Kadizzle agreed to leave town and the matter was over.
