Winky awakens

Winky woke up about 3:30 A.M. and wanted to cackle. So here Kadizzle sits at five pecking away on the computer. The sun is trying to get up over the mountains. Kadizzle blasted the song One Day at a Time by Willie Nelson on the music box.  So here we go another day. Of course we have to read the NYT, Fargo Forum, and CNN. Get up to date. The world is a mess. Now a song is playing Once in a While. I only hope I made you smile, maybe more than once in awhile. 

Yesterday Kadizzle took a very nice motorcycle ride with his new UPS pilot friend. Johan is a French guy who flys cargo for UPS. Johan is on his first motorcycle. He has really mastered it for his little experience. We took some terrible roads and he made it just fine. On our last ride Johan tried to take a little jump and crashed. Yesterday he was sore from the original crash. 

The life of a pilot is not one Kadizzle would want. Johan has to commute to work. One problem he lives in Scottsdale, and his job is in Kentucky. Johan said the airline gives him 600 dollars to get to work. He works for a week at a time. The airlines are like the railroad. You bid on the flight. The guy with the most seniority gets the best flights. 

Looking back Kadizzle had a great job. No boss, worked outside when he wanted, good company, early retirement.
