The run to Phoenix

The kadizzles made the circuit to Phoenix.  First stop was to check out a BMW 800 cycle.  It seems like a good deal, but making up ones mind is not easy.  How do you get it back to North Dakota?  It might be a fun ride.  Next we checked in on Ruth and Rodger who just returned from Australia and New Zealand.  From their report it seems cruising on a ship is not the way to do it.  After that we spent the night with Ken and Terry.  Ken is the father of all garage sale experts.  Ken will do over a hundred sales in a weekend.  Ken has made an art of flipping garage sale junk.  Ken almost always has at least ten bikes on hand and used to have 27.  Finally we went to the mother of all grocery stores and spent our food budget into oblivion.

After visiting Phoenix once more it is clear who in the hell would want to live in one of these large metropolitan areas?  Crawling with people, and the insane traffic, what do you gain?  Large cities are a mess with people running about like ants.  Never have seen a grocery store with so many people checking out at 22 check out counters with a line at each one.  So the ships roll in from China with boatload of goods for the slummers to suck up and put in the trash.  Back here in the lonely desert it is quite, peaceful, and the rain makes everything smell good.
