The scolar in the tent.

Every day we get to know the Gary Kadizzle has been writing about a little better.  Gary is turning out to be a remarkable scholar that never graduated from high school.   Gary has written 11 volumes of information he has garnered from years of reading.  Volume one is on " Thought".  Gary brought it over to show us.  Gary has carefully cataloged the thinking of every major scholar in a very well thought out compendium.  What first blows you out of your chair is when you open the volume and see that it is all hand written.   Gary got a calligraphy set from his brother at age ten.  Gary taught himself wonderful hand writing that is amazing.  His ability to write in such wonderful script is amazing.  He is like an ancient monk.

Gary had a master index of all the books he has read, which includes of every bible of every religion.  The Commander was very impressed.  Kadizzle asked Gary what his politics were and Gary replied " I am a rational anarchist".   This is like my friend Ray who says he is a orthodox atheist.

Gary is living on the edge and enjoying every moment.  From what Kadizzle can garner Gary lives from one social security check to the next.  Living out of a tent his only way to cool food is with ice and coolers.  This is a difficult proposition to accomplish while spending weeks in the desert.  Today Kadizzle offered to take Gary to town.  One minor problem is that Sammy has to go.  Sammy is the loyal dog of Gary.  Sammy and Gary seem to be able to talk to each other.  Like Gary, Sammy gets lonely for dog company.   Another man was walking a couple of dogs and Sammy just had to meet them.  Gary told Sammy no.  After Sammy whined in dog language Gary asked the man if Sammy could visit.  The man agreed and Sammy rushed to meet the other dogs for some butt sniffing and a little game of chase each other.   Sammy has her own bed roll.  Gary said Sammy reads with him and then when he is ready to go to be he tells Sammy to get in her own bed.

So today the Kadizzles, Gary, and Sammy will be heading to the big city of Pumpkin Center.   Yesterday Kadizzle learned Pumpkin Center was once the proposed capital of Arizona.
