Strange Day down at the GVP

 The GVP, Green Valley Park, is a very nice city park below our new home.  People are always there fishing the three little lakes, and walking their dogs. Kadizzle likes to coast down the steep hill on the ebike and circle the lakes for exercise. The exercise comes getting back up the very steep road leading home. 

Pedaling around the lake Kadizzle saw a man with a bike that looked like he was traveling. Always curious, Kadizzle engaged the fellow in conversation.  Soon it became evident he was mentally compromised with Jesus. There are people who get into Jesus mildly, and then there are those who go entirely nuts.  As we spoke Kadizzle noticed the disciple had some new shiny clothes pins lined up on his bike in a strange fashion.  Kadizzle asked what the clothes pins were for. John the Baptist explained that the cloths pins had bible verses on them. He took one off and asked if Kadizzle would like to have one. Very neatly printed on the clothes pin was a reference to the Bible. Also there was some Hebrew text. Kadizzle asked this man of the lord if he spoke Hebrew. He replied that he was learning, then he said he would look up the verse and see what the Hebrew meant. Pulling out his Bible Kadizzle noticed he had made his own cover for the Bible which was titled " The Peoples Book".  His bible was totally indexed and marked with little tabs. You could tell he was obsessed. Kadizzle had a feeling this guy was more or less homeless. He claimed he lived by the airport, but there is nothing but expensive housing there.  After checking his Bible he never did figure out what the verse on the clothespin meant.  The entire encounter was just another version of how people become delusional. The Trump insanity is just another form of the same thing. 

Farther along during the ride Kadizzle spotted a very old, hunched over woman walking a dog. She looked like an old granny Apache Woman.  Getting closer Kadizzle began to think the woman was the same little old woman that always hung around the Post office at Lake Roosevelt.  Kadizzle rode up to her and asked if she was the same person. Yes she was.  Once you saw her, you would always remember her.  She never had a dog before, and how she got to Payson 60 miles away was a mystery. We had a nice little conversation and she said she remembered Kadizzle from our encounters at the National Cliff Dwelling festivals. Her skin is a very dark chocolate brown, and she seems like a full blooded Apache. Someday it would be interesting to know her life history. She seems very old, but never gets older.  Kadizzle suspects she is some kind of special Indian spirit. 

Just finished talking to Sylvie in Mexico on vacation. They are returning today. Sylvie had a strange accident yesterday. While at the sink in the hotel the bottom of the sink fell out and cut her toe badly. She had to be taken to the emergency room by ambulance.  She is fine, but the hotel staff was very nice to her. They wrote her a nice get well note, and put balloons in her room.  Sylvie has been studying Spanish online and speaking Spanish to the staff has been a good learning experience for her.
