With some coaxing Kadizzle took the hike yesterday. We went about six miles up a nice mountain stream. Winky, Al, Deb, and Cliff like to hike at the speed of light. Kadizzle prefers mumble walking. Everyone has seen some old person stumbling around talking to themselves. That is mumble walking. On our trail crew Ken was a fast walker, but he finally saw the virtues of muble walking. Yesterday as the fire ass warriors were going down the trail at light speed they all failed to notice a woman in the brush off the trail with a dog. A big advantage of mumble walking is you see more. You take the time to look. Kadizzle since he is slower walks at the back of the line. Over in the woods he first noticed a straw hat. Next he saw the woman under it, and her German Shepard at her side. Zuni the dog with us smelled the other dog, but the entire crew marched along not noticing another human being.
Thomas Friedman has fired out a couple of very good and enlightening articles in the NYT about the mess in Afghanistan. The United States always has a bad habit of supporting corrupt dictatorships. It always ends poorly.
Well what about the new home? Nothing was accomplished when we went to inspect. If they would just get the interior painted life could go on. The parasites have attacked viciously. All the blood suckers are after the money we hoped to use to build a home. The title people are fat with our blood. There are so many parasitic fees and the loan people are chipping away at our resources. Most of these people do nothing but shuffle papers and create absurd reason why we should hand them cash. The loan lady said yesterday for $1,600 we could buy down our loan. Now what in the hell is that about. It seem like paying someone who agrees not to hit you so hard.
