Here we go

Up early and bored already.  Kadizzle is in another little India part of Auckland. The room is very nice with large windows and a little walk out veranda. Kadizzle likes nicely tiled bathrooms, and this place has one.  The tile work seems very well done to the point Kadizzle suspects it may not be real tile, but if it is they did a fantastic job.

The major problem for the next 24 hours will be keeping the mind occupied.  The plane does not leave until three this afternoon.  That means there are about seven hours to do nothing until the real nothing starts.  Going back down town is a possibility.  The fish and chips here are so good it is a temptation.  They must not use carp like the do in the U.S.  An immediate problem is coffee.  The Indian family that lives here does not seem to be awake.  Not sure how this place works.  Does Kadizzle use the rest of the house like it is his? That was how the last place operated.  If that is the case Kadizzle could make his own coffee.  Well Kadizzle will give the Gandi's some time to sleep in.

Everything needs to be fully charged for the long plane ride. This includes the wonderful headphones Sam donated. Noise cancelling headphones are a god send for flying.

Maybe too hopeful a thought but perhaps the brain dead are awakening.  Some publications that have been so gutless are finally coming out against Trump.  Even better are the evangelicals that have regained consciousness.  Trump's war on the environment is far worse the the annual war on Christmas. Now Trump is fighting windmills, toilets, and light bulbs.  The man is simply insane.

The thought " today" just went through Kadizzle's head.   For the first time Kadizzle will fly back to yesterday.  Suddenly the term today takes on a new meaning.  Today is a relative term.  It is Wednesday here, and Tuesday in Arizona.   There is no today, it just depends on where you are.   Everything it turns out is relative.  Nothing has meaning until you compare it to something else.  Now for some strange reason the international date line is not a straight line.  There is a spot if the plane fiies the right route where the plane can fly into and out of Wednesday and Tuesday.  The plane will fly into tuesday, back into wednesday, and finally into tuesday for the last time.  The place is way out in the pacific. Kadizzle will have to look down from the plane and see if he can see the dotted lines that outline the time zone.  You can see them on the map.
