If you read this blog you know Kadizzle had a problem with the little sailboat Stroupini brought to AZ for him. Yesterday the little band took the boat to Rusty to see if he could repair it.  Rusty could out talk Kadizzle and spent about thirty minutes recounting his hunting trip. Somewhere in the conversation Rusty explained he was Rusty 1 and there was a Rusty two. Rusty two was his assistant and went on the hunting trip. 

There is a subspecies of humans that lives on the edge of the Earth.  The fruit of their life is social security.  If you are just barely making it a warm climate is a must, and that is plentiful in rural Arizona, and New Mexico.  If you are on the edge at least you can be warm.  Here is a place you can live in a tent for months on end. 

So our truck pulled off the good road and down the bumpy gravel road to a nest of deplorables.  Trump signs were too plentiful.  For some reason every deplorable thinks they have stuff someone wants to steal. Every yard has a broken down busted chainlink fence.  At the very end of the road was Rusty 1's business.  Junk was scattered everywhere.  The most amazing edifice was a dump truck load of beer cans that seemed like it had been dumped in the yard.  Old broken down boats and half finished projects were scattered about.  The main office was an old mobile home.  Like so many mobile homes he roof must have leaked so the common solution in the southwest is to build a shed over the mobile home.  

This was the kind of place where nothing ever got thrown away.  It was a mechanic hoarders paradise.  Inside the junk strewn office the Wizzer immediately catches one's eye.  A Wizzer is an old moterbike made from a bicycle.  As a kid everyone wanted a Wizzer motor for their bike.  However, this was not a motor, it was a unique bike made by the Wizzer company.  Kadizzle saw the bike and figured it was worth ten grand easy.  It was dusty, but in good shape.  Rusty 1 confirmed the bike was worth a lot. 

Now for the puzzle.  What do the deplorables see in Trump?  Perhaps they see a person like themself.  A person with a delusional view of life, a fuzzy view of reality, and willing to give the finger to the world.  Trump is like them, he never read anything. He uses foul language, and has no sense of taste.  Trump is a cheeseburger deplorable.  

After awhile we discussed the boat repair.  Rusty 1 said he would have his dad and Rusty 2 take a look at the damage and they would come up with a price. 

All of a sudden it has occured to Kadizzle what these people are.  They are desert hillbillies. This thought raced into the mind of Kadizzle when he recalled that Rusty 1 told him the deplorables relied on hunting deer for meat. Recently the Forest Service closed all the roads in the forest because they feared floods from the recent fires.  After the deplorables explained they would starve the Forest Service relented and opened the roads.  One result of the fires is the wildlife has been forced into closer contact with humans and Rusty 1 said the old mountain lions are down here in the valley living on the house cats that have gone wild.  Duane did see a big old mountian lion here a couple days ago.
