Living a constant high

 Our new location puts us at 7,500 ft.  The body is adjusting. Using the oxygen monitor we bought for Covid Kadizzle finds out he is running around 91% oxygen saturation.  Normally the oxygen in the blood runs about 95% or better.  Is this due to the altitude? Do seem to be more lethargic. Hopefully the body will adapt. Yesterday we took a drive through the local wilderness.  The terrain is a lot like the mountains in Montana. There is still snow on the highest peaks. Vast meadows and mountain lakes are nearby. 

Today Winky is taking an early hike with Cliff, and Kadizzle will hopefully get the motorcycle flat tire fixed.  The west is suffering from a severe drought.  Locally the volcanic soil is so dry it is like flour.  The dust is everywhere and a bit of an annoyance.  There are a lot of elk around here, and hopefully some will show up nearby.  Saw some antelope yesterday. 

Reading the New York Times this morning Kadizzle came across an article about living in a bubble.  Kadizzle looked up former home Hazen.  It was a bubble of Republicans.  Check out where you live to see how bad the infestation of idiots is.  The country is frightening. You must have seen the news,  thirty percent of Americans think Biden did not win the presidency.  The country is split.  Idiocy is rampant. People have so readily adopted any reality Fox News puts out.  Science has faded into the background, and roll your own stupidity is the new driving force.
