Tired and worn down

Two tough women lead the trail crew.  Winky and Sizzler make all the big decisions.  Sizzler decided Kadizzle was to take the gasoline weed wacker and walk a mile up the Park Trial.  A mile up the weed infested trail Kadizzle was instructed to cut his way back.  Mark Twain hated flies and wrote how Noah got six weeks out to sea and realized he only had one fly.  Noah had to return to get the other fly.  The briars God invented are every bit as bad as flies.  The desert has more plants that bite, sting, and sticker than any other place on Earth.  To call this area a desert seems like a misnomer.  If a drop of water hits these plants they explode with thorns. 

So Kadizzle worked. Now keep in mind work is not something Kadizzle is very familiar with.  We got about three quarters of the mile done.  It was a hard day and everyone was worn down.  Winky and Cliff did a marathon to the top of the mountain and cleared some brush up there.  Ken and Sizzler threw the brush off the trail. 

Now for a little diatribe.  Why not take all the billions the government is going to drop form the sky and pay some young people to fix up our national lands? They get paid, they learn to work, and in the country wins.  Once upon a time we had the CCC which did exactly that.  As a country we are poor and stupid by choice, not necessity.
