Sent from Nepal to cook my dinner

As we were just about to pull into the entrance to the Cheyenne Mountain Park Kadizzle noticed a little Toyota partially parked by the four lane.  He remarked to Jasper that the guy was going to get hit if he did not get his car all the way off the road.  As the gods of the universe would have it the same guy pulled into the visitor center as we were there.  Then we encountered him once more near our camp site.  A conversation ensued and soon we were friends with Bsarat.  Bsarat is an engineer from Napal.  He has been in our country for two years.  Bsarat offered to cook us a Nepalese dinner.  Bsarat seemed to love photography so after he cooked us dinner he did a film shoot right before we ate.  Since he could not find engineering work in Colorado Springs he works in a liquor store.  On the table was an excellent bottle of whiskey.  We all gave a toast as his cameras automatically filmed the event.

Earlier in the day the Kadizzles had the mother of all bike rides.  The park has the best bike paths ever.  With the ebike Kadizzle and Jasper spent hours on wonderful trails along the mountain. 

Back to Bsarat.  Kadizzle asked Bsarat if he knew about the NORAD tunnel right above where we had dinner.  Bsarat knew nothing of the installation.  This got Kadizzle to explain it to him and do a little research himself.  According to the research there is a 13 story building in that mountain mounted on springs. The is a man made lake with enough water to last the crew two years.  Imagine the money pissed away on this project.  Like everything we do with the military money is no object.  It is like spending 62 million dollars so Trump can golf, who cares?  Trump needs to golf even if his caddies say he cheats.
