Life in the Earth Module

The Kadizzlilites like sleeping in the cool of the night so when we awaken the Earth Module is crisp.  Someone has to have the courage to get up and turn on the electric heaters or the furnace.  We get up early because we go to bed early.  With no television there is not much motivation to stay up and turn our brains to mush.  The Earth Module has a nice shower, but it is not as nice as the Forest Service facilities about two hundred yards away. Kadizzle and The Commander usually go over there and shower up before bed.  Public radio is our salvation.  As we sit here waiting for the sun to come up we get up to date.   Being up to date luckily is easy because we have good internet service through the hot spots on the phone.  The Bismarck Tribune has to be checked to see what the hoopleheads are up to.  Next some real editorials with the New York Times.  Facebook, and NPR can be thrown into the mix, and of course there is email, and what ever happens to catch our attention. Usually Kadizzle is awakened by the light from The Commanders phone. The Commander likes to start her update with the phone.  The same Commander that once expressed nothing but disdain for a smart phone now is totally addicted.  Her phone is like an internal organ. If the battery would go dead she would panic.  Somewhere in this mix the coffee gets made.  The extra heat from the stove is welcome.  The constant babbling about terrorism is running in the background on public radio.  Our society jumps from one crises to the next.  30,000 Americans are killed each year with gun violence in our country, but no one notices.

At some point if Kadizzle is lucky The Commander will say " What do you want for breakfast".  Today oatmeal will be the choice.  It is going to be a very nice day so we have to accomplish a few minor task and figure out how we will entertain ourselves.
