Things are never what at first they appear to be.

The mind is deceptive and can very quickly lead the wrong direction.  Today as Kadizzle went to the office to fire the cannon Gary's dog started barking.  The dog wanted some attention so Kadizzle stopped to give her some affection.  Gary came out of the tent where he was eating his breakfast out of a frying pan.  Eggs, and a hot dog were the fuel that was going to start Gary's day.  On Gary's table were two books, one fiction, and one history.  The history book was by a woman who had done great interviews with some of the most important people in recent history.  Gary does not give the impression of someone well read, and perhaps very knowledgeable.  Gary is an enigma.  Here is a man that appears destitute, and on the edge, but Gary seems about as content and happy as anyone you might find.  What impressed Kadizzle the most in his conversation with Gary was his statement that he always read two books at once, one book of fiction, and one factual book.  Too many people read nothing but fiction, and have a very limited view of reality.
