Sisyphus has always been the symbol for the life of Kadizzle. The poor guy pushing a rock up a hill. Underneath the new headquarters is a giant rock. The rock may be as large as eight tons. It must be less than that because the 12 ton hydraulic jack moves it. The mass of stone is in the way for the room Kadizzle hopes to create in the crawl space. Battling the rock is sort of a hobby. Lifting the rock has been at least a three day project. How do you lift something from the side, when the side is smooth? No way to get the jack under the rock. Chiseling a notch in the side of the rock for the jack to take hold is the answer.
A major victory was achieved yesterday, the rock finally reached the point where the jack would go under it. The notching process was dangerous. Several times a shard of rock split of and went flying when the 12 tons of pressure overcame the adhesive quality of the rock. Kadizzle used an old dynamite trick. When you expect stuff to go flying you put a blanket over it. In a rock blast you use a blanket of old tires wired together. With the rock monster it is just some wooden shielding.
How about the real monster, Donald Trump? Read Maureen Dowd today in the NYT.
