Payson has a pulse

 It is a new life in Payson, there are things to do. The town has some life with various things going on all the time. On the other hand Hazen was on life support. It looked like a funeral home with 2,500 people sitting in the dark. 

Last night we went to a laser light show, it was not the best, but was interesting. Along with the light show they had a food truck festival. Earlier in the day the farmers market had a blow out for the kids going back to school. Boredom is not the problem it was in North Dakota. 

The people here are friendly. A lot of people ask about our electric bikes. Yesterday a bum like fellow started asking questions. The man was in good shape and said he rode the bike he was on from Flagstaff. He was in. his sixties, and that is a long ride of 94 miles in one day. You have to give the bum walkers credit they are resourceful. Kadizzle let Mr. Bumore ride the ebike. He was amazed and wanted to adapt his bike. Mr. Bumore said he was on his way to Quartzite. That is a couple hundred miles from here. Gradually he is going to work his way there. All he has is 78 pounds of equipment on his bike. Bums migrate with the weather and he is going to a warmer climate. 

No shortage of mean nasty Republicans. Emil Kashuntz was down on the highway holding the Jail Trump sign.  About 25% of the people driving by give the middle finger. It is actually fun to see an angry Hooplehead. Kadizzle stands by Emil to keep him company and we watch the Hoopleheads take joy in giving us the finger. We yell " Thank you" " I love you".  Some of the Hooples get so enthusiastic about defending the orange rat. Some will take both hands off the wheel to use both middle fingers. Old nasty ladies show their church love with the middle finger.  Now some people will actually stop and yell some nasty words. On the other hand there are about sixty percent for putting the rat in jail that give the thumbs up. Some of them also stop for encouragement. It is sad to see so many people in the Republican fog.
