The Stoat Trapper

It is early and Kadizzle is up with the first cup of coffee.  All the woofers are asleep but the stoat trapper. Kadizzle met the stoat trapper in the kitchen.  Like every person in New Zealand if you do any kind of work outside you wear bright safety clothing.  Kadizzzle spoke with the stoat trapper for awhile yesterday and tried to convince him to join our trail crew in Arizona.  The trapper loves outdoor work and wants to be a park ranger.  New Zealand has an ambitious program to eliminate invasive pest. Stoats are one of the pest.  Stoats look like weasels.  You know the kind of animal Trump is.  Just like Trump stoats are a major pest.  As Kadizzle has walked through the forest here he has noticed traps all over the place. The stoat trapper must go around and gather up the stoats and reset the traps.

Kadizzle has no clue of where he is going, or what he is doing today.  It looks like the sun is finally out so driving to Nelson will be the main goal. If Kadizzle can get a room there at a previous bnb that will be great.  Kadizzle may be able to get a bargain on the room.

Interacting with the woofers here has been fun at the hostel.   They are an interesting group of kids stretching their wings.  They are working their way around the world and learning a lot.  Meeting these kids gives Kadizzle a lot of hope.  They seem to be ambitious, talented and hard working.  It will be hard for the Republicans and Fox News to fool them.  It is interesting to see these kids cook.  They all seem to have good cooking skills.  They make healthy meals and start with the raw products.  The great banana bread experiment the Canadian did turned out well.  Kadizzle feels like a rich old bum among these frugal kids.  Just about every one of them has purchased a car.  New Zealand seems to have an easy way to do the transaction.  You go to the post office and do some simple posting and the car is yours.  There is no lengthy registration and so on.  The kids buy a car and sell it when they leave and it is cheap transportation.
