Life on the mountain

The landscaping at the new home has been a massive project. In the last week ten tons of gravel have been hauled to the backyard with a wheelbarrow. The garden of delight and now the garden of tranquility are graveled. In Arizona you don't grow grass you grow gravel. It saves a lot of water. The term hardscape is popular in landscaping. We got nothing but hardscape. Mrs. Kadizzle says we are almost done. 

A great benefit to moving to a different planet is new friends. Payson is full of characters. There is no shortage of rednecks, but everyone seems nice. Cannot recall meeting any real mean grumples except maybe a Tea Party nut case or two. The best grumple test is to stand on Highway 87 with a Jail Trump sign. Then you see the grumples. The grumples will give you the finger or yell and obscenity as they go by.

This is surely the land of Tattoos.  Winky mentioned yesterday how many people are covered with body art. Of course most of the people covered with body art are also covered with debt.
