If the Devil invented a plant.

The Arizona trail goes from the Border with Mexico to the Utah border.  Our trail crew works on part of the trail, and trails that provide access to the Arizona trail.  Yesterday we worked on a segment of the AZ trail.  There is something joyful about busting down a big mean cactus in the name of making the trail better. The worst cactus is the jumping Choi.  No cactus is more evil or nasty.  The cactus grows little barbs on the end of it's very sharp needles.  The cactus grows special little bulbs on the end of each protuberance.  The little ball seems to jump onto you with the slightest touch.  For cattle, horses, or dogs, nothing is worse.

Mate will go to Megan's baby shower in New York today.  Poor old Kadizzle will be left behind to walk in circles with no instructions.  Cliff will still be here across the way and perhaps Cliff and Kadizzle will go to the fish fry, or have breakfast out.

It looks like a fairly warm, hopefully sunny day.  The people in North Dakota are having fun with the cold and the water protectors are protecting frozen water.
