Cruise on a freighter

Kadizzle is up and the keys are popping on the computer.  Just finished a travel story in the NYT about cruising the great lakes on a ore freighter.  Nice story and might be a gun trip.  A little slow, but so what Kadizzzle is used to moving in a sailboat at 6 knots.  It might be fun to take an ocean trip on a large cargo ship.  If the rain lets up maybe the Kadizzles will head up to the lake and board the Sovereign.

Hazen got the BBG open, so that is the great excitement.  Some of the locals chipped in some cash and opened up the Bison Bar and Grill.  Hazen needed some upscale eating.  The theme will be the old sports bar routine decorated with Bison and historical Hazen pictures.

Yesterday the pressure pump for Stroupini's pressure washer came by UPS.  Kadizzle replaced the broken pump and pressure washed the lower deck.  If a wave of ambition hits we may be able to stain the deck after it drys for a few days.

Nick on the river floating to Florida sent the stove part back he was lent.  Nick seems to want to remove the dams from the rivers.  It may depress the price of the sailboat if it happens.

At this instant NPR is talking about a price war between phone carriers.  Verizon has finally let people carry over their data.  This is good news for traveling winter people.

Things are slow around here.  A news bulletin came in from Cliff in AZ.  An avocado truck wrecked near his mountain home and the cleanup meant free avocados for everyone.  Don't want anyone to get hurt, but it would be nice for a June Berry pie truck to roll over near here.
