Once more Kadizzle has become more wealthy thanks to the wise investments of his father Old Gold. Old Gold had a penchant for insanity that has always run deep in the Kadizzle family. Old Gold would go to tax sales and randomly buy the interest in who knows what. Well the net result is Old Gold has gone on to the great beyond, but has left his children rich from his crazy investments. Yesterday and oil and gas landman called. He failed to get hold of Kadizzle right away, but The Commander told Kadizzle the man wanted to lease some land Kadizzle had no clue he owned in Marion County West Virginia. Today Kadizzle agreed to lease the land so the gas well can be drilled. The land man explained on the phone today that Kadizzle owns two one hundredths of an acre, which entitles Kadizzle to a fifty dollar lease payment. Just to make Kadizzle feel better they will give him one hundred dollars. Two one hundredths of an acre is about the size of our back porch. This means even if this is the best gas well ever drilled in West Virginia Kadizzle will probably get one, maybe two candy bars per year from his vast holdings. The good news is the last time this happened the lease man said Kadizzle would have enough money to buy a pizza every month from his well in Ritchie county. So right now Kadizzle can rest knowing his future is secure with his vast oil and gas holdings. Kadizzle has oil and gas interest about half the size of his back yard. So far no wells have been drilled, but Kadizzle will be so happy to commemorate his dad when he eats the first pizza paid for with his inheritance, plus he may get a candy bar for dessert.
Don't worry about Kadizzle being heartbroken over one more near miss. As a kid when Old Gold was in the oil and gas business we were always about to become wealthy. Old Gold would always take an eighth or a thirty second in a well he sold stock in. Of course none of these wells ever amounted to anything, so the legacy goes on. There is one last hope. Kadizzle is not sure, but he may have an interest in 22 acres back in the hills. Perhaps someone will hit gas on that and we will get a nice meal once a week. So dear old dad, God bless you and every year when we eat the pizza and candy bar we will remember how hard you tried to make Kadizzle financially secure. At least you left Kadizzle a good laugh, when the guy said Kadizzle owned that big two hundredths of and acre.
