Kadizzle is up early and will head up the mountain before too long. Elevation is everything in the southwest. Currently the carcass sits at about three thousand feet. At the new home the carcass will be around five thousand feet. Back in the Earth Module it will be 7,500 ft. Going up means going down in temperature. It is about two degrees per thousand feet.
A daily ritual is reading the NYT. Insanity and stupidity are blossoming like algae. Kadizzle is always amazed how many people do nothing. So many people wander around on pensions, or social security, and of course a little retirement investment money. A guess would be forty or fifty percent of people produce absolutely nothing every day. You can drive through this country and find so many towns with no major industry. Somehow we live by selling each other hamburgers. Cottonwood where Kadizzle is sitting at this moment has no reason to exist but serving food to a bunch of retired people. The town has every type of eating place multiplied by ten. Urban sprawl has made a complete mess out of the entire country. Crappy unplanned shopping mall polluted rat messes are in every town. Towns have very little character. Phoenix wins in the category of urban sprawl. The city is like someone spilled a bucket of humanity in the desert.
Well thankya Jesus there are still wild spaces the Kadizzles can inhabit. So many people seem to be stuck in a box with a TV. That is life in America. Kadizzle was never pasted behind a desk, but how many Americans now just sit and get paid to stare at a computer screen. Maybe the peasants of long ago had it better. At least they could be outside. Well the rambling is done, time to start the day.
