It Don't Hurt to Ask

It was time to do some restocking so Kadizzle set off with The Commander to go to the mother of all organic grocery stores.  While The Commander started admiring the cabbages Kadizzle decided to do some exploring of the other nearby stores.  First to catch his attention was a oil change shop.  Kadizzle needed some oil for his motorcycle and kept forgetting to purchase some.  Kadizzle meandered to the oil shop and asked if they had any oil he could buy in packaged quarts.  The manager said he did, but he did not know what it cost.  Kadizzle could see they were not in the business of selling packaged oil.  Puzzled Kadizzle said "So you cannot sell it to me?". The guy said " I'll just give it to you".   This seemed a great deal.  We looked around for 10W 40 in a container, but there was none.  Then the guy offered to fill a container and give Kadizzle the oil.  Since it was too messy a process Kadizzle declined.

Next Kadizzle wandered into a thrift store.  At the thrift store the owner said he would buy used CDs for 75 cents each.  At home Kadizzle has about 200 he could ship to this guy.  Meanwhile back at the grocery store The Commander was busy gathering goods.  The Commander insist Kadizzle follow her around as a cart lackey.  After awhile The Commander asked Kadizzle if he had put a bunch of stuff in the cart.  Looking at the cart Kadizzle saw a bunch of stuff he had not put there plus a shopping list.  Soon it became apparent someone else had put stuff in our cart.  Kadizzle took the stuff out and put it into a little hand basket.  Kadizzle gave it to one of the store clerks who searched for the rightful owner.  After we walked around awhile Kadizzle spotted a cart with the fish and meat The commander had bought.  So when the dust settled it turned out The Commander was the culprit, she had been the one who put food in someone else's cart.

Back at the ranch Kadizzle changed the oil in the motorcycle.  The crew at Darch's went to dinner at the Handlebar restaurant and bar.  It is a great place to eat outdoors with radiant heaters, but heat alone did not solve the problem.  The rarest commodity in the desert, rain, fell from the sky.  With ingenuity the owner rigged up a tarp over our table and a good meal proceeded.
