A path to Freedom

Roberto wanted the Trail Crew to put an abandoned overgrown path back into service.  So Kadizzle and Mate armed themselves with some serious tools and continued to blast and hack the salt cedar trees that were overtaking the path.  Paths are interesting, often they go somewhere, sometimes they go nowhere, and sometimes they take you back where you started.

Mate wants to launch on a new path.  She wants to buy a lot in Payson and build a house. Seems late in life to build a new home, but such is life.  The blizzards in North Dakota are making it unlivable.  Payson is at an elevation that makes the hot summers in Arizona more tolerable.  In theory one could live in Payson comfortably most of the year.  Payson is surrounded by national forest, so land is at a premium.  A lot about the size of the one we have in Hazen will go for twelve times what we paid for the lot in Hazen.  The house and lot in Hazen combined were less than what they want for a lot in Payson.  Inflation and the New World Order account for the increase.

The big question is what will happen to the economy?  Will it nose dive when the insanity starts full bore in Washington, or will it do OK as people figure we will just have to live through the insanity?   The Southwest is plagued with water shortages.  It will only get worse.  According to the Payson propaganda Payson will be OK.  Payson has access to a mountain reservoir which is supposed to insure plenty of water for the gulf courses.  In fact they have a plan to waste some water just to prove the point.  Water is one thing, fire is another.  You can stay in North Dakota and freeze to death or you can go to Arizona and burn to death with no water.  Of course our new regime says no problem.  There is no climate problem, the tree huggers just made it all up.  Tell that to the polar bears.
