Call the meeting to order.

About 9:30 the meeting at the Crazy Club will be called to order.  Now that Stroupini has retired things seem to be more regular. Stroupini is having a hard time adjusting to the freedom of retirement, like so many he thinks his former work cannot go on without him.  Across the ally from the Crazy Club is the Pocket Park. Kadizzle helped Steve do some cleanup there yesterday.  The Pocket Park is slowly springing to life.  Sharbuak will soon do his magic and get the fountain running.  People will sit at the table and wifi.

Our street is abuzz with cable activity.  West River Telecommunications is putting fiber optic cable all over the country and it is coming down our street at the present moment.  A rare site, men digging ditches by hand.  Kadizzle managed to snag some pulling tape from the cable guys.  What in the hell is pulling tape? Pulling tape is what they use to get the actual cable through the conduit.  The stuff is handy.  It has a breaking strength of 1250 pounds.  It is only used once then they throw miles of it in the garbage.  In any other country someone would make something useful with it.  Kadizzle like to have hundreds of feet of the stuff to tie things in the truck to hoist things, or pull things.  The stuff is thin and only one half inch wide, but very strong.  The contractor cannot take a chance of the cable not making it through the conduit.  So if you want a bunch let old Kadizzle know.

Slowly the sun is creeping up over the horizon.  You know summer is almost here when light from the sun shines on the North side of the house.

You must get up every morning and read The New York Times as Kadizzle has told you many times.   Today there are a bunch of good articles.  Friedman speculates on the mental illness of Trump, a great article about how the Airbus is assembled in our country, and a nice historical piece about Thomas Jefferson's early life.   So here goes another day.  Mrs. Kadizzle is still in bed and may soon be demanding coffee.  The Earth will continue to spin.  Also one might read the article in the New York Times about shipping across the North Pole.  Global warming is here and the idiots that inhabit our positions of leadership have no clue.  So if your  house is on fire enjoy the warmth of the fire and perhaps you can cook something in the coals when the house is properly burnt down.  Trump is doing what he can to hasten the demise of the planet.  Have a nice day.
