Will the country get the enema it needs?

 Today the toxicity of Trump may be flushed from our system.  It will be a glorious day for the country.  The sun will shine, the heavens will open up. Dead brains will come alive. There will be hope.  Old Kadizzle is 71 years old, and never has there been a mental plague on our country like the years of Trump.  A tidal wave of stupidity swept our country in 2016.  Kadizzle had a strange dream last night about huge ocean tides.  Hopefully this dream has good implications. 

All is quiet in the desert and if a civil war breaks out we should be safe for awhile.  However,  we are surrounded by an incredible number of deplorables.  Gun toting deplorables with brain weevils.  Brain weevils enter the ear and chew into the brain.  The weevils love the tender brains of Republicans.  You can spot a brain weevil nest because the weevils usually signal the other weevils by putting a red hat on top of the nest. 

I Pity the Country (You do not have a choice, you must listen to this0

Shocking news.

Our existence is fragile.  We just got a call our good friend Dave fell from a ladder yesterday and died.  Dave has been an outstanding member of our trail crew.  His generosity is surpassed by no one.  People abused Dave by asking him to do favors. He always complied with a smile.  He helped Bill do a water pump on his truck last year.  He spent weeks welding on the dumpsters here at the park for free.  No doubt he will get an Easy Pass to heaven.  This will be a big blow to our trail crew.  Dave was a worker and loved to exert himself clearing the trails.  Among other things Dave was a good mechanic.  He could fix diesel, outboard boats, small engines.  It was just a day ago he sat here with us at our evening BS session. Dave loved to play cards.  Impossible to imagine the winter without Dave. 

Hot in AZ

 Windy and hot in the desert.  Today is laundry day.  Rode the ebike all over hell's half acre.  Kadizzle is promoting an idea.  The New York Times had some dramatic pictures of idled cruise ships being scrapped. Why not move these ships to big cities and house the homeless.  Kadizzle is thinking of starting a Go Fund Me fund raiser.  What a waste to tear these ships apart for scrap steel when so many are homeless. 

Let the hiking begin

  Winky and Kadizzle took a steep hike up Vineyard trail yesterday.   Kadizzle realized that coming down is as bad, if not worse, than going up.  The view from the top was worth the effort. Today Kadizzle tooke the ebike on an extensive review of the area.  Hopefully checked an Indian site.  Nothing new turned up and it was a bit disappointing.  The lake is still high and a ride down to the canal showed the water was still in the canal.  Hot, it is 85.  Winky and Kadizzle are at war with the pack rats.  Yesterday we put a smoke bomb in their hole and they shot out like rockets. 

Settled In

Kadizzle just returned from the nice little private restrooms the Forest Service provides us with.   It is a glorious day with crystal clear sky and sunshine spilling everywhere.  We had a good swara yesterday.  Bill stopped by and had a beer with us.  Bill says the local Forest Service will bet a 7 million dollar blessing so we may be able to fix some things up.  Social distancing has become the norm in our little group.  Rita wears a mask even outside.  Winky went nuts yesterday protecting the sewer line.  She believes it may be attacked by the Javelinas.  They have damaged some in other places. They are brave and Bill showed us a picture of one trying to get in his camper. The hummingbirds have not shown up and that has Winky concerned. 

Christmas in six days

 Just cannot wait for Christmas on election day.  If Trump is run out of town it will be better than any Christmas. The sun just popped up in the desert.  The sky is crystal clear, and it looks like a wonderful day.  Today we install the sewer hookup.  Oh, what fun.  Yesterday we went to Globe for supplies.  Diesel fuel was less than gas.  The Walmart in Globe was a big surprise, they were making the simple minded wear mask, and they were enforcing it.  Globe is another planet, with strange people, and an up and down economy that depends on the price of copper.  One person there once told Kadizzle the streets were laid out with a snake. That seems to be true the street system makes no sense.  Like so many mining towns houses popped up anyplace.  Sitting here in the Earth Module for the first time with brilliant sunshine.  We live in a strange place isolated from everything, no traffic, no neighbors, no noise.  The isolation can be boring, but also tranquil.  The future of the planet could hinge on getting rid of Trump and his band of thieves. With global warming Trump could be the man that tips us toward the end. 

Electric Flames

 Never thought Kadizzle would see the day Winky would praise a fake fireplace, but she likes the one in the Earth Module.  It actually will put out heat.  It does give our little nest a more cozy sense.  Remarkably you can adjust the color of the flames or even just have the logs glow.  If we had been given a choice we would not have one, but we are growing to like it. 

The view from the Earth Module is pretty damn good.  The new Earth Module has better windows than the old one.  On the North we have an excellent view of the lake and mountains, to the south are the cliff dwellings and more mountains. 

If Trump is run out of town on election day it will be such a wonderful day.  The clouds will lift, it will feel like we can breathe again.  The stupid people will go back into hiding.  Oh, what a glorious day.  On the other hand it could be the beginning of a civil war.  The gun nuts are armed to the teeth just waiting to shoot.  Trump insanity is very heavy right where we sit.  Strangely the people that suffer the most from Republican policies support the idiocy the most. 

The Earth Module has landed

 Here Kadizzle sits at five in the morning local time.  The Earth Module arrived late in the day at Lake Roosevelt.  The desert is scarred all around us from the fires. The desert burns in a strange fashion.  The fire burns in patches.  What seems to be the problem is grass.  The grass grows so fast and thick that it is the grass that spreads the fire.  

Today we will have to get the module into place, and hook up the water and sewer.  Dave greeted us when we pulled in.  It was good to see a member of the trail crew.  Rita and Ken pulled in a few hours earlier and Winky walked up to cackle them. 

A little rain is falling and the desert has that nice fresh smell. All the roads and trails are closed in anticipation of flash flooding.  The fires create the situation where the rain just runs off too fast.  The trail crew will have a new boss and it will be interesting to see what are assignments are.  More than likely we will be trying to rehabilitate the burnt trails. 

Over The Pass

 Wind is rocking the Earth Module in Raton, New Mexico.  Snow is chasing us south.  After watching Sylvie play soccer we headed down through Colorado.  Two traffic jams on the interstate caused by vehicles catching fire.  We met our friend from Nepal for the nice lunch he fixed us.  In a nice city park we had lunch with Barat.  We met Barat two years ago when camping in Colorado Springs.  Barat has not seen his family for four years.  Trying to eke out a living in various jobs in a foreign country takes persistence.  Today we face horrendous head winds.  Hopefully we will not get blown over.  The urban sprawl all over the country is staggering.  The East side of the Rockies seems like one continuous shopping mall.  Today we will be going through some isolated country for relief. 

Campaigning at Sam's Club

Just got back from Sam's club.  Talked to about ten people and asked them to vote out the rat.  My favorite was a black woman running some sort of sweeping machine.  I asked her if she voted and she said she was going to vote for  Biden.  I then said something about getting the rat out of here.  She said " We need to get his ass out of here".   My sentiment exactly.  Speak up, speak out, or you have no one to blame but yourself if we have four more years of this disaster.  

Earth Module lands in Denver

The huge new camper settled onto the street in the Snoocher Bear's neighborhood.  Grandpa had to give Sylvie a walking twenty for her perfect grades.  The budding actor got another job doing a promotional video for the Denver Science Museum.   Kadizzle is very hopeful the country twill be rid of a bunch of rats after the election.  People remarked it was amazing to see Dear Leader act half normal during the debate.  Perhaps a shock collar would work for him. 

In our travels we met a gentleman from Nepal.  He has offered to make lunch for us tomorrow.  Awhile back he cooked us a Nepalese dinner.  We are looking forward to it.  Sylvie's dog is a Wooly Brumpus, at least that is what Kadizzle called the Wheaton Terrier.  The pup is full of energy and a handful, but very smart. 

The price of housing is booming here in daughters neighborhood, and they may go the housing bubble burst one more time.  It creates a false sense of wealth that can have some bad results. 

Wagon Prep

The Earth Module sits out there beside the house.  Between is snow.  Today final prep is being made for blast off tomorrow.  Just like at the Cape weather is such a big factor.  Old Kadizzle has learned not to drive in snow.  The plan is to light the ignition tomorrow morning and head for a warmer planet.  Today will be a day of cleaning,  packing, and making sure last minute details are attended to. Good by  Hazen, Good by North Dakota.  Hopefully the rednecks will come to their senses.  Going to miss sitting by this fire.  Winky criticised Kadizzle for sitting here too much, but had to chase her out of my chair to get my place.  Vote, vote, vote.  Tell your friends to vote.  It is critical that the rat in the White House be removed.  This is the most important election in my lifetime.  The clouds will lift.  It will be better than the rapture if Trump is gone.  Trump has threatened to leave the country if he loses.  Could there be any better ending to the rat in the house?

Cutting Wood

Brian fired up the old pickup truck, and we hooked up the flatbed trailer.  Down to the woods we went.  Winky, Brain, and Kadizzly started chainsawing some heat.  Trees are the ultimate solar machine.  A tree can capture sunshine and save it for a wintery day.  Once the logs were dragged from the treeline into the field we used two chainsaws to cut them into warmth.  Brain spent the rest of the day splitting the wood.  Kadizzle is sitting here at 4:30 A.M in front of our harvest burning in the hearth.  Today Winky and Kadizzle have to make an early trip to Bismarck to see some doctors.  Hopefully the PSA is still under control and more year lie ahead.  The gas station in Stanton apparently had no gas so we have to drive the diesel to Bismarck.   The new truck already has eight thousand miles on it. 

It is looking very good for ridding the country of Trump.  Kadizzle is mulling over the possibility of making a bet in the stock market on Trump's demise.  Kadizzle thinks the market may surge on the news the country has be rid of the lying plague Donald Trump.  Since we are homeless we have to keep some powder dry to buy a house if we find one in paradise somewhere.  Don't want to blow the wad on a poor investment.  

Burn that wood

Winky and Kadizzle are up early watching the Sunday news.  Snow is on the ground.  The fire has been burning strong for days.  Can we cut the wood as fast as we are burning it?  Sitting in front of the fire in a rocking chair has been very pleasant.  Add to the fire some nice music in the background.  Today we will help Brian refresh the wood supply.  In a few days we will start our escape to the South.  Sylvie got all A's at here new school so Grandpa will have to give her a " Walking 20".   Someone used to give Kadizzle money and say you need some pocket money.  That became walking money.  As a Dad Kadizzle sometimes would surprise the kids with cash for a good report card.  It did not happen every time, but it worked. Both kids graduated top in their class and went on to great colleges.  The rewards were from the classic random reward text in college psychology. 

Beginning to feel good about the election, but Trump showed us how many idiots are out there.  Not only are they idiots, but they are proud to be idiots. 

Girl in the Mirror (Wow, this will melt a Trump Republican)

My costume for Halloween

 

Kill Granny

 It's all a hoax, and nothing to worry about until it kills granny, then we will have to get serious.  Mercer County where we live was doing great, but the stupidity caught up.  Too many people are still in the cult.  You can spot a cult member from a mile away, no mask in the grocery store.  Who cares, it is just a Democratic hoax.  Fly your Trump flag high.  Kadizzle has come to believe the only thing that can penetrate the mind of a Republican is cold and hunger.  That was what the depression did.  Our of the depression came the realization we need to care for each other.  Republicans have attacked and removed every social safety net they can get their hands on.  Driven wild by greed the rich have pillaged the poor.  Let the peasants suffer from virus, we will fly to our second or third home on a private jet, but even Dear Leader got the plague.  Will we awaken, that is the question, or will granny have to die?

The Silver Spade

 Once upon a time Kadizzle was the training director for Consolidation Coal in Eastern Ohio. Kadizzle had to do safety training for about 2,000 people, some management training, and run a training center. As part of that job Kadizzle had some opportunities to go on the Silver Spade.  It was the largest earth moving shovel ever built.  If you view the video below you can get an idea of its size.  To get on the machine one went on an elevator up through the center pin.  Too lazy to write down some of the interesting stories about this machine, but if you ever want to hear them in my presence let me know.  Sitting in front of the fire just happened to come across this video.  Reminds me of how old Kadizzle is.  My time in Ohio was when I was about 23.  It was an interesting job and created some good stories.  

H Q VIDEO OF SILVER SPADE

He is Dead

The virus is raging in Hazen, yet the Trump flags still fly.  Yesterday Kadizzle learned a guy he used to work with at AVS died from the virus.  The guy had underlying conditions, but it should be a wake up call for the cult members in Hazen.  If you get the virus in Hazen and have to be hospitalized they will send you to Fargo in an ambulance.  Imagine that.  The hospital system is being strained in North Dakota, yet the Republican lying goes on.  It is just the flu.  What does it take to bust the cult.  Last night Trump's mental illness and inability to tell the truth were once more displayed for the public.  What does it take to bust a cult member out? Stroupinin and Kadizzle were going to go to Bismarck today, but old Kadizzle is going to back out.  No point in driving into the hornet's nest of virus in Bismarck.  If the country awakens and votes the rat out of office it will be such a breath of fresh air.  To have a government that funtions as a government will be wonderful, a government that protects us, a government that is truthful.  The clouds will lift, the sun will shine.  

How about some thought and poetry

Below is a video called New Years Eve.   Kadizzle loves songs with good lyrics.  A song writer that can put together music and words in perfect fashion is to be admired.  Listen to the song and hopefully you can hear the lyrics.  In our temporary home my old friend Ray left me a nice stereo system.  That means Kadizzle gets to sit here in front of the fireplace Ray built and peck away on this computer.  Kadizzle misses Ray and never thought the day would come that Kadizzle would be temporary living in Ray's house.  He was an incredible man with so many talents.  His son Brian has been so gracious to us.  Ray built his own cannon with the utmost of detail and authenticity.  At Ray's memorial we fired the cannon out in the front yard here.  Ray went out with a bang, and he lived his life with a bang.  Ray told it like it is.  Kadizzle often recalls a story Ray told.  In Beulah Ray waited in line at a store.  Somehow Ray got in a conversation with someone in line about politics.  The person he was talking too was a typical redneck Republican.  After politely trying to reason with the may Ray gave up and simply said to the man " Your a f**king idiot".   Ray generally stayed away from politics, but he knew where the bear did it's thing in the woods.  Ray did so many civic projects few people know about.  One day when we were building the Pocket Park in Hazen Kadizzle told Ray he was having a problem making certain bricks fit in the patio. Ray went to Stanton got his tools and came back and did a nice job of giving the patio a finished look.  That was Ray. Now here Kadizzle sits in front of Ray's fire thinking of the past and all the good things about Ray.  Ray loved to solve problems.  When Kadizzle had to fix the hatch slide on the boat Ray took care of it.  Kadizzle needed an oddly shaped piece of wood.  Ray took on the challenge and made the wood.  About 75 feet away is the room where Ray died.  The world needs a lot more Rays and a lot fewer right wingers. 

New Year's Eve

Hope Springs Eternal

 Kadizzle is feeling we may be rid of Trump in a week or two.  Even the dumbest ones seem to be awakening a little.  The tidal wave of lies Trump has told have to have some effect on the terminally stupid.  There is no lie to low for Trump to tell. 

We are back at the North Dakota estate our friends are kindly letting us use as a temporary residence.  Yesterday we started a fire to warm the place.  Hazen has had a lot of virus cases.  It would seem when you see your friends struck down by Trump's stupidity you might get a little smarter.  The Trump cult is truly amazing. The willingness to stay in the bubble is hard to believe.  As this is written Kadizzle sits in front of the TV.  Republicans are doing all they can to suppress the vote. 

When your bear had a hard day and needs some extra love....

Rolling On

 This is the last day.  Mud Dog and Kadizzle found a very nice hotel for ten dollars more than the bum house by the interstate.  Sitting here with morning coffee. Winky had to put her mud dog suite in the shower to clean it.  We are in St. Cloud and need to get back to Stanton.  Hotel prices seem to be more reasonable with fewer people traveling, The fall colors have been great all along the trip.  Miss my little Evie, and our new grandson Quinnie.  Had a lot of fun with Evie.  We played a lot with the peanut butter bear fantasy. The peanut butter bear would come in the house at night and steal the peanut butter.  You could see him in the woods with peanut butter all over his face.  Our first offspring of the male persuasion is chubby.  There is fear he may turn out like Grandpa.  Not to worry, his mom Cheech was chubby and a prettier girl would be hard to find.  When they stretch out the chub gets used up.  Quinn has big bones like grandpa and will be a big guy.  One more cup of coffee, and not to long be for the final blast home.  

Mud Dog

Kadizzle had to rename Winky today.  Her new name might be Mud Dog.  On our way back to North Dakota we stopped to ebike near Eclair Wisconsin.   We found some very nice trails.  At the top of a hill Kadizzle looked down and saw a specially constructed mountain bike bridge.  It was obvious some skill would be needed to cross the bridge.  Kadizzle warned Winky that when she got to the bridge she needed to be extra careful.  Needless to say she ignored Kadizzles advice.  Kadizzle had the pleasure of seeing Winky drop about six feet off the bridge into deep mud.  It was a spectacular crash and thankya Jesus she was not hurt, but she was covered in mud.  Kadizzle asked her to give advance notice the next time so he could do a video. 

Ebiking the USA

This morning after we alighted from our hotel room we headed for some wooded ebike trails.  They were not the smoothies we  had the last time.  The trails must have been designed to challenge the younger set. Winky was bleeding from both legs when we got done.  There were hump, and bumps, and jumps, but we made it.  For awhile we were lost in the woods in a maze of trails.  After the bike ride it was back on the road.  Here we sit in Elkhart, Indiana home of every RV in the world.  Hate hotels, would much rather be in our Earth Module.  Every hotel uses the same stinkum in the rooms.  Last night the people in the next room blared the TV until Kadizzle had to talk to management to get them to turn it down.  Tonight we have a room with a window we can open.  Although Kadizzle was born and raised in the East, he is done with it. Too many people, too  much traffic,  and too much the same.  Really the East Coast is not much different from Florida to Maine.  Will be good to be back in ND.  Good article in the NYT about Trump's thieving corruption. 

The Cult

 As a young person Kadizzle used to listen to WWVA radio in Wheeling, West Virginia where Kadizzle was born.  The crooked stump preachers preyed on the ignorant.  Never did Kadizzle think in his adult life we would have a president with a cult following that preys on the ignorant.  No matter how obvious Trump is about his lying, his cheating, and his disdain for the working class the cult remains loyal.  To the cult Trump is the Pope.  Trump is infallible.  All decent people have left his administration, but he has Barr and other lickspittles perfectly willing to do his evil.  

Morning has Broken

 Up and at em.  The two little monkeys are full of energy for a new day.  Hot tubing, biking, and races will fill the day.  Quinn is already busy exploring the toys.   Quinn has mastered his little car he pushes with his legs.  With an art major and designer for a mother,  Evie is busy all day with art projects.  The house which was very orderly when we came now has children detritus scattered everywhere. 

Of course we watched the debate last night.  Will people wake up and leave the cult?  Pence told all the regular lies and the cult soaked them up.  It will be nice when the election is over.

Project Lady

 Evie is forcing Grandpa to color constantly.  In the project room we have ninety six crayons we have to keep busy.  Entertaining a three year old is a full time job.  The leaves up here in Vermont get nicer every day.  Yesterday we hiked up the ski slope aways.   How did we ever do it?  Hard to believe we went through the insanity of raising two children.  Here goes.   Imagine Trump with little children.  He would first teach them to lie, then to steal, then to call other children names.  Feel sorry for Baron having old Donald as a father. Never see them together.  Baron probably doesn't even know Trump.  One thing is clear.  Trump would not destroy the country if he had any love for his children.  Driven wild by greed Trump is so self absorbed he could take a job as a sponge for himself. 

The Old Grandpa

Here we sit in Vermont with the two grandchildren.  Being a grandpa is a lot of work.  Entertaining Evie is a job.  In the hot tub, building with Legos ,  telling bear stories,  chasing around, it is all a lot of work.  An  Eastern fall is a pleasant change with all the trees.  We rode the ebikes up the mountain for a nice view.  We have been very worried about the Trumpster.  Who could replace him as a liar?  Without the Trumpster we just could not understand the world, we would not know what the Chinese are up to or the liberals.  

There is no housing shortage

With Dear Leader coming down with the virus that would seem to be the topic for today, but old Kadizzle has something else on his mind.  Winky and Kadizzle are planted at a very large ski resort in Vermont.  Of course there is no snow and no skiing.  What is amazing is the vast number of empty homes, apartments, and various lodging.  If someone took inventory of all the nice housing in this country they quickly find everyone could have a nice place to live.  Across this country high quality housing sits empty.  Even more amazing are the people working from home.  This means thousands of office buildings are empty.  That means even more potential housing.  Poverty in the United States is a distribution problem.  When those on top take it all there is little left for those on the bottom.  We pile up the poor in the cities, and live like kings in the country.  

Another Blast off

Winky is packing today's supplies.  The pickup packed with Megan's treasures sits outside ready to go the last six hours to Vermont.  Once there we get to see Megan and her family of two little pumpkins.  The leaves are turning and the scenery is great.  Not looking forward to the drive back to Stanton.  The TV is on inches away and Trump is back pedaling as fast as he can.  North Dakota has it's version of the Proud Boys, Kevin Cramer, Kelly Armstrong, and John Hoeven.  These guys are the perfect lickspittles for Trump.  Vote the rat out.  Dear Leader has to go. If you don't realize Dear Leader is mentally ill by now, you are. 

Bike Riding Summer

 This has turned out to be the summer of the ebike.  Today Winky and Kadizzle took a wonderful ebike ride along the shore of the great lakes.  Near Marquette we found some absolutely wonderful trails through the forest.  Met a nice biker girl yesterday at the visitor center of the National Forest.  Hi, if you are reading this. Had a great discussion on politics and the need for young people to fight the evil of the Republicans.  Crossed the Mackinac bridge and are headed south then east to Vermont. 

Fun at Breakfast

Picking up our breakfast at the Inn Kadizzle was having a discussion with the kitchen help.  A Trump Cult member overhead Kadizzle talking and broke into the conversation.  Kadizzle confronted the Trump cultist about the breaking news on Trump's taxes.  Kadizzle got into a shouting match with the cult guy.  The cult guy took off down the hall and Kadizzle had fun yelling at him "  Your in a cult".  The world is under a spell of idiocy.  Fox News so far has refused to report on the Trump tax scandal. 

 

Major homework assignment

 You must watch and share the video below.  The information will be on the test, and if you fail the test you will automatically be assigned a D for the course.  This is the most important video in a long time.  If you want to help defeat Dear Leader you have to make this information go viral.  At Kadizzle headquarters we have top secret computers that monitor everything you are doing and we will hold you responsible if Trump is elected.  We know who you are and see what you do, don't take any chances.

The Wagon rolls East

 Shortly the wagon will head to Vermont.  Going to be a long trip. The new diesel should be a pleasure it has every bell and whistle.  Winky wants to go the long way up north to avoid Chicago.  This will be the first drive East in over fifty years.  Sad to drive across our country and see it crumbling under the Republican dictatorship.  Read the NYT today and see the article on China and what China is doing. China is going to be the world leader in no time. China is addressing infrastructure while all we do is build yachts for the rich. Republican delusion, idiocy, and greed is rampant. Winky and Kadizzle did their best ot vote out the rats in North Dakota, but the system is rigged and our votes are meaningless.  Democrats don't even bother to run, it is hopeless. In North Dakota the mice vote for the cats. The biggest crop in North Dakota is now rednecks. 

The Day went by

Up early we hustled to town and packed daughter Megan's Earthly treasures so we can haul them to Philadelphia on Sunday .  This summer has seen some long driving. Two trips to western Montana, and now one to the East coast.  The rack is on the back of the truck for the ebikes.  

Every day when you think things cannot get much crazier Trump out does himself with lies and fraud.  The latest is on TV in front of us.  Trump spinning the ballot nonsense in Pennsylvania.  Stooping low is his favorite trick.  Such a lying scum and his good Christians eat it up.  Proud of my two preacher friends who are fighting the Trump evil. 

Have been putting solar on the Earth module.  If we have to dry camp we should be able to pull enough power from the sun to survive.  

Watch Thomas Friedman

 Thomas Friedman is a scholar and not a KFYR radio mental case.  Watch his comments on CNN.  Friedman says we are on the verge of a civil war.  If old Kadizzle can post his video here he will. 

Sorry

Sorry to beat it to death, but the insanity in this country has become scary.  Watching the news this morning and seeing how this conspiracy theory insanity is spreading is frightening.  People are believing total nonsense.  The claims that the Democrats are running a sex ring are beyond belief.  Tune in to right wing radio for just a minute or two if you can stand it.  The lies are flying like leaves in the fall.  In our lifetime North Dakota has gone from reasonable to absolute stupidity.  No lie is too big.  The bigger the better. 

Insanity

 Kadizzle is back to our country estate.  Winky and Kadizzle are up extremely early in the bizarre world of Trump.  CNN just broke the news about Putin directly supporting Trump.  Not an ounce,  Kadizzle does not have one ounce of respect for anyone who is still a Republican.  We have friends inflicted with the disease of stupidity that causes them to support the Republican party.  You do not abandon someone because they have a disease.  You try your best to pull them from the cult.  It is so sad to see people you know in the cult.  Yesterday a good friend made remarks about the scary negroes in the big cities.  Of course they said it in a subtle way, but this is what the country has come to.  People who just want to be treated fairly are scary.  The reality is the rich fear the poor are going to take back what the rich have stolen.   You do not make 100 times what someone else does without stealing.  Make up any story you want, but the reality this is a class war.  Trump is a dictator for the rich.  You can spin it any way you want, but the facts speak for themselves. 

A short (8 mi) ride on the Maah Daah Hey Trail

At the mercy of the sun

 Solar power is the new norm for the Earth Module.  We bought a new solar panel and are relying on it to charge the ebikes.  Winky's bike is charged, but Kadizzle has to wait for the sun to fully charge his bike.  Kadizzle is thinking of buying one more panel, but Winky is resisting.  Harvesting sunlight is kind of like growing a garden.  We have a generator, but prefer not to use it.  Today may be another ebike adventure.  Kadizzle is amazed about the excellent ebike riding here in the Badlands.  The views are amazing, and the trails are very good.  A lot of good planning went into these trails.  The trails are not for the weak of heart or those afraid of high places.  You could make a mistake and be in big trouble in some places.  In a few places you are riding on the edge of a cliff.  Of course you could do this on a regular pedal bike, but you would need to be in good condition.  This summer we have probably done more than one hundred miles on the Ma Da Hey trail.  The 21 mile ride yesterday was our longest continuous ride.

If people do not wake up and vote Trump out we are well on our way to a dictatorship once they sew up the supreme court. 

Adventure Abounding

 The Earth Module sits deep in the Badlands.  Winky and Kadizzle just completed 21 miles of ebike riding through some fabulous country.  Shanika showed up and slept in his truck,  Lauren and Pat came in their Glamper and we had a nice campfire.  A visit by a couple drunken cowboys was a highlight.  The two cowboys have recently starred in some films being filmed in the badlands.  The cloud of boredom has lifted and there are tales to tell.  Shanika and the Donoviches have taken off for home so we are alone deep in the Badlands.  The trail riding here is indescribable.  Unquestionably it is some of the best riding for bike in the universe.  Winky and Kidizzle have done more than a hundred miles in the Badlands this summer. If you have some energy and a bike this is something you need on your bucket list. The cowboys were going to sell us some beef, but we are too tired to get over to their place and get it. 

Our Country is melting

Not only are the flames melting the country, but so are the lies.  Kadizzle briefly turned on the local propaganda station yesterday and heard Rush Limbaugh lying at a pace Trump would be proud of.  Rush was making up conspiracy theories so fast.  Of course the simple minded want a second helping of lies.  Kadizzle finds it hard to believe KFYR radio spews lies for four hours every morning.  It must work they are still in business.  If you want to see the fruits of the lying just look at the Trump flags spouting across the landscape.  The Russians must be dancing the troika.  Using the voluronable minds of the fundies the Russians are enjoying their dream of destroying us with propaganda.    

Life in the country

 Kadizzle has become comfortable in our new temporary home.  Mrs. Kadizzle is looking at some pretty pricey homes in AZ.  May as well go out in style.  The smoke in the air yesterday was remarkable.  Below is posted a video on West Virginia.  There are some good shots of my old home town of Wheeling toward the end of the video.  If you are bored you might enjoy it.  The video brings back memories of growing up.  The video mentions that Wheeling was the richest city in the country in 1894.  

Winky is making an expedition to Bismarck today.  Kadizzle will stay back here and try to entertain himself.  The Earth Module is packed and ready for our trip to the Badlands.  The plan is to do some more trail riding on the ebikes.  

One of the nicest things out here in the country by Stanton is the quiet.  Once in a while the train goes by, otherwise the silence is deafening.  

Change is in the air.  The election will be a lifetime event.  The country will sink into the deepest swamp ever or rise above the ignorance that has spread quicker than the fires.  Our ability to become oblivious to disaster is amazing.  The planet is being destroyed, we have a mentally ill president, the economy is in shambles, and no one cares.  We don't need a president to lie to us, we do a good job of lying to ourselves.

He lies to protect us

It has become clear President Trump will lie to protect us from panicking.  This creates a big problem.  How do we know when he is lying to protect himself or lying to protect us. President Trump has declared himself a stable genius. It gives me comfort to know we have a stable genius to decide when to lie and when to tell the truth. Sometimes adults lie to children because we love them and want to protect them.  We are all just children in president Trump’s mind and we can be thankful he would risk his reputation to protect us. Politics is a team sport.  If you support the Trump team, fly your Trump flag proudly.  Trump’s lies that protect us cannot be effective if he does not have the support of our North Dakota congressional delegation.  Every good citizen of North Dakota should be thankful for Kevin Cramer, Kelly Armstrong, and John Hoeven.  Our delegation risks their reputation supporting the lies Trump tells to avoid panic among us.  We must all understand not everyone can handle the truth.  Thankfully we have leaders that know when to protect us from the truth. 

Packing the wagon

 Now that the Earth Module is our only home it has to be packed carefully.  Maybe yesterday we solved the big problem of how to pack the electric bikes.  It seems we will have to lay them horizontally behind the cab of the truck so the fifth wheel can swing over them. 

Woke up to a world totally insane.  The west is on fire.  Climate no problem.  The president is mentally ill, no problem.  Trump cultist are popping up everywhere, no problem.  Russia is defeating us with stupidity bombs.  If you believe it, it is true.  Science, math, and history have all become very flexible. 

Trump lies, and tells tall tales.  Think about it religion does the same thing.  Why are we surprised that about half the population will believe anything.  Half the population has always been prone to religion.  Maybe it all started with Santa Claus.  Children accept being lied to as part of life.  People send children to church to be indoctrinated with nonsense, then we wonder why they believe Trump?  A strange world we live in where those with some sense of reality exploit those without.  History is replete with instance of leading the simple minded down a rat hole.  So one more time we have a mentally ill massiah feeding the masses an illusion.  Fiction is always better than reality.  

Dear Leader

 We have entered a new era.  Americans now live in a cult led by Dear Leader.  Dear Leader loves us and lies to protect us.  We don't need science, math, or history anymore and should burn all those books.  Dear Leader knows what is best for us.  What is best for us is tax breaks for the rich.  Democrats are evil because they are not nice to Dear Leader.  Dear Leader calls women who are mean to him nasty, reporters who ask hard questions are nasty. Dear Leader knows nasty when he see it.  If we would accept the new religion of Dear Leader all of us could be happy.  Why are you reluctant to join Dear Leader's cult? You get to wear a red hat, you don't have to wear a face mask, you can carry a gun, and you get pardoned for anything you do if Dear Leader likes you.  

Where did they go?

What about the dead, those who passed on? Where did they go?  Sitting in the home of a good old friend who went on listening to music on his stereo.  The night before in the home of another friend who went on.  My brother went on, my father, two of my sisters,  so many crossed the line.  As a young person one never thought of crossing the line, but now so many Kadizzle has know have crossed.  What is on the other side?  You can make up what you want, that is what religion does.  In fact religion does it for you.  On the other hand you can admit, you just don't know. That is the school Kadizzle is in.  The most likely thing is we are no different from the squirrel run over on the street.  Maybe it just simply is over.  It would sure be nice if all the answers were known once the body left us.  So many mysteries could be revealed.  So much is unknown.  Really what is gravity, what else is out there.  Maybe we get to know once we give up the ghost.  Sitting here with a mild fog outside contemplating.  The days are numbered.  Once you cross that line at 70 you begin to realize the glass is not half full or half empty, the glass is just about dry.  Deny it all you wish, but you can feel your body falling apart like an old house, and old car, and old pair of shoes.  You just don't last forever.  Kadizzle keeps telling the younger gang, retire enjoy, you never know when the plug will be pulled.  Money, money, money, it is always just a little more.  Look at the people with gobs of money, are they any happier.  Look at Trump a miserable rat obsessed with greed.  Where did greed get that rat?  It motivated him to lie, to cheat, to be a despicable human.  Look at the people who love him.  They can see what money did to him, and they actually wish it on themself.  Trump sits on a golden toilet.  Wow, does life get any better?  There is a lot of world out there and most of it is free.  

Dina turns eighty today

 Today we head off to Dina's sequestered birthday.  Dina is an old sailing friend, no pun intended.  First we are going to go biking at Harmon Lake.  Dina and Bill were some of the first sailing friends we had and we sailed together for forty years on Lake Sakakawea.  Sitting around the campfire we always told stories about all the Chinese fire drills we had.  Dina like Winky is an excellent cook and must be blamed for many of the pounds around Kadizzle's waist. Dina has been very active in politics and with her group the badass grandmas she has made some serious progress in cleaning up the political mess in North Dakota.  Bill has gone on to the lake in the sky, and now Dina is running her home as an AirB&B as well as carrying on the family investigation business. 

Thought they were better than that

Seeing a friend sucked into the Trump cult is a sad thing.  One of the scariest things about the Trump cult are the people in it.  At one time Kadizzle had some respect for these people.  He knew them as business people, plant managers, mayors, and what seemed like normal rational people, but now they are in the cult and refuse to leave no matter what motivation Trump gives them.   Trump lies, cheats, steals, rapes, and disrespects women, military personnel and these people still stick with him.  A mental aberration is the only explanation. 

Morning in America

In our home for the homeless Winky is asleep up in her nest. Kadizzle is down here in his nest with the Earth Module sitting outside the window. Kadizzle awakened about five A.M.  The silence is wonderful here in the country.  A warm morning shower felt good.  Now we face another day of gradually getting ready to migrate.  Before we migrate we have to make a trip to Vermont to see Cheech and her two little snoochols.  Son Quinn is getting so big and Evie has a blast with her other adoring granny. 

What the world could be if the rich did not insist on stealing everything.  The incredible wealth disparity in this country is insane.  

We are living in a nice house that normally sits empty. How many nice houses sit empty while people are homeless? What we have in this country is a distribution problem.  Time to see if Winky is awake and have some coffee.  

Toys headed south

In a couple hours Stroupini will stop by to load up the motorcycle.  Along with the cycle Stroupini will take the little sailboat he has donated for the Kadizzles to use.  Both will go to Arizona.  Stroupini is nuts, he is going to make this long drive and sleep in the cab of his pickup truck. God bless him.  Hopefully he will get to do some sailing on the four lakes down in AZ.  That little boat will be a lot of fun.  You can pack some stuff and camp on the shore of the spectacular canyon lakes. 

Winky and Kadizzle have hiked two days in a row at the Knife River Indian village.  Walking through the woods where the ancients camped in the summer makes one think about the past.  For some strange reason they will not permit bikes on the trails.  It would be fun and harmless. Perhaps Kadizzle will have a talk with the park superintendent. 

Winky and Kadizzle have been busy preparing the Earth Module for launch to AZ.   The new camper is now equipped with two huge batteries and a new solar panel.  

Dina Butcher will turn eighty soon and everyone needs to wish her a happy birthday.  Dina is Kadizzle's political hero in North Dakota.  She is the bravest woman in North Dakota fighting for democracy.  Dina has received national recognition for her fight to the ethics commission.  Dina is a lifelong Republican that has turned against the Trump cult.  By any standard a brave intelligent woman who gets things done. 

Kadizzle pitched from Facebook

Kadizzle has been banned from Facebook for thirty days.  Apparently the Facebook computer does not understand sarcasm.  The Fargo Forum had an article about homeless people in Fargo.  People were complaining about the homeless people.  Kadizzle suggested that the problem would be solved if people voted for Trump.  Kadizzle said Trump would round up the homeless and kill them like Hitler killed the gypsies in Germany.  Well it seems Facebook has entered a touchy area of censorship. 

Nazi Flags Flying

 The fags are flying.  People publicly declaring their stupidity is an amazing sight.  Kadizzle is now hunkered down near the little town of Stanton, North Dakota.  The local businesses have cranes with the boom raised high flying Trump flags.  It is a sickening sight.  Simple minded people proud that they do not read, comprehend or understand.  The Nazi Trump flags have sprouted.  These people declare the truth just does no matter.  Living a world with cult members sprinkled among us gives and uncomfortable feeling.  What did it feel like in Germany as the country marched toward disaster?  Years ago when Kadizzle moved to North Dakota it seemed like a reasonable place.  Back in West Virginia, that state seemed like a reasonable place, but we have slipped into redneck heaven. Gun toting, flag waving, Republican Jesus hell is now the standard. 

Now there is a good sign.  Kadizzle knows two preachers well.  Both of them have seen the evil of Trump and are pressing their flocks to wake up.  It seems that some Republicans are coming out of the fog.  Trump's insanity seems to get worse every day.  At what point do people finally wake up?

Hello Russians

Good morning Russians.  Kadizzle just checked the statistics on this blog.  There are about 900 Russian followers, and 500 people from the United States.  Please Russians don't help Trump get elected this time.  If you help defeat Trump you will be eligible for a Kadizzle T Shirt, a trip to Kadizzleland,  a signed pair of Kadizzle's under garments, and many other prizes.  So get to work and do some good hacking this time.  

Moon Launch

Outside our country dacha sits the new Earth Module.  Daily Winky and Kadizzle prepare for the launch.  When the module is finally launched toward Arizona it must be equipped with everything to survive.  A new solar panel has been purchased and the motorcycle rack has to be built.  Winky is trying to find where to store all the essentials.  One thing about the new module is we have better sleeping accommodations for a guest.  Stoupini is enthusiastic about pulling a small sailboat to Lake Roosevelt for us to use.  That will be a great addition to our winter fun. 

 

Rain will come and the wind will blow, deer will die in the winter snow

 The tranquility of the country is soothing. The Kadizzles may be developing a bad habit of sitting in front of a large TV in the morning. Never in our hundreds of years of marriage have we done such.  The styrofoam deer is out in the yard grazing. Brian put genuine deer antlers on it.  Kadizzle remembers when we fired an adle adle at it.  If you don't know what an adle adle is you need to look it up and learn.  Yesterday the Kadizzles made a trip to Bismarck and reminisced about how small it used to be.  Now urban sprawl is the norm.  Dina made some great margaritas and Mexican food was ordered.  Of course this resulted in a night of digestion problems.  We are preparing the new Earth Module for the next run somewhere.  Storing our Earthly possessions is a big project.  Kadizzle is building a rack for the motor cycle.  Sleeping out in the country away from the noise is very pleasant.  

At some point the plan is to make the long trek to Vermont, or Philadelphia to see Cheech, Chuba Bubba, Evie and Sam. That will be a haul.  It does not seem right to drive into the dementia of the East when we are out here on the prairie safe and sound.   

Greener Pastures

 Maybe the search for greener pastures blew up in our face. Today we sign the papers that let our home of 42 years go.  Winky's grandfather was an architect and designed the house.  Finally we had it tuned to perfection.  Winky was famous for her garden and yard.  What were we smoking?  The lure of the southwest got to us.  Payson, Arizona seemed like it could supply us with just a little more.  That ugre for more usually gets people in trouble.  In ou 70's we are too old for the adventure we are undertaking.  This is the stage of life for gentle crumbling.  Kadizzle sees himself as that old house in the country with the roof sagging, the windows broken and the fence falling apart.  You are going to age, even though you hope it is at the pace of a glacier, it is going to happen.  One of the hardest things for the Kadizzles to give up was living with some wonderful neighbors.  Dallas and Marilyn were saints as neighbors.  We loved helping them and enjoyed sitting on their back porch having a rootbeer float or a gin and tonic.  Bod and Liz were younger than us and hunting and sailing friends forever.  What were we smoking?  So off we go into the land unknown.  This is like a space shot.  Here we sit at another good friends house.  This is indeed a wonderful setting easy to get used to.  We are out in the country with no one around in any direction. The peace, quite, and tranquility are raining down.  Soon we have to take off on a long drive to Philadelphia to see Cheech, Chubba Bubba, Evie, and Abraham Albert.  This has been the summer of long drives.  Two Trips west to buy a truck and camper, and now a trip east.  It will all add up to over six thousand miles. 

The Earth Module sits beside Ray's house.  Ray was a good old friend that passed away.  His son graciously let us move into his empty home.  The Hazen domicile is behind us and we have stepped into a new world.  Ray had a very nice home with many amenities.  Out in the country things are so nice and peaceful.  It is such a pleasant break from the hectic life of moving. 

National affairs are disturbing.  The Trump cult is frightening.  It seems we are on the verge of civil war.  The last civil war was won by the north because of industrialization.  Hopefully this civil war will be won by the side that has science, and reality on their side.  So much of what Trump has stirred up reminds one too much of Nazi Germany.  The cults ability to soak up the lies and paranoid nonsense is astounding.  As we approach the election we can only expect the insanity to grow. 

Trump's hardware store

Kadizzle went down to the hardware store to get some electrical supplies.  Somehow checking out he got engaged in a political discussion with the store owner's daughter who was clerking.  First the discussion centered on education. Kadizzle said that a good education was crucial to understanding the world.  The young girl behind the counter said she believed that all important things could be learned from experience, and that normal education did not matter.  Her entire family was home schooled.  Kadizzle said it was important to know statistics to really understand the world.  Kadizzle said that anyone that knew how to do real research and use statistics would know for example how much Trump lied.  At the point young Mrs. Hardware said she check all her facts with Fox News and everything Trump has said is true.  She asked me if I supported Biden.  I told her I did.  At this point she said Biden was a pedophile.  Kadizzle explained to her that the right wing media was circulating a picture of Biden kissing his grandson on the forehead at the funeral of his son.  Kadizzle asked her what she thought about Trump's advocating grabbing women's genitals.  She said she knew nothing about it.  At this point her father broke into the conversation and asked if I did not grab some butt in my day.  He said everyone does.  Kadizzle was dumbfounded and asked him if he was serious.  At this point Kadizzle was told to leave the store.  The display of the cult like attitude was unbelievable.  The effect of home schooling was obvious. The poor kid was totally devoid of any real news or sense of reality.  Apparently all the children were raised in this atmosphere of father knows best and the truth.  It is very sad to see children robbed of the right to think. 

A nice old memory

If you want to see some nice video watch the Buckskin Gulch video below.  Many years ago Winky and Kadizzle hiked the gulch with Ruth and Rodger.  It is a hike everyone should experience if they ever can. It is near the Wave, probably one of the most famous natural features for photographers.  

Buckskin Gulch, Utah, USA in 4K Ultra HD

Tearing apart the Engine room

 Kadizzle is sitting here where he sits every morning.  This is the place where we get up to date.  Getting up to date is a process of the modern world.  One gets on the Google and finds out the state of the world.  Of course the current state of the world is pure unadulterated insanity.  A plague of idiots has flourished in the fields of Fox News, KFYR, and right wing media.  Back to the engine room.  Everyone should have a place of refuge.  The engine room has an old cheap desk that Kadizzle has fallen in love with.  The damn thing is made out of the modern particle board, the curse of humanity.  Things that used to be real wood are now pressed glue.  However, the desk is laid out just right for Kadizzle.  Maybe Kadizzle will get up off his arse and take a picture of the control center. 

Music is the most important part of the morning ritual.  Somehow music starts the engine.  The Bismarck Tribune has to be checked to see if the right wing or the left wing dingers are firing hard at each other.  The bad news this morning is some simple minded woman praised the Trump boat parade in Bismarck.  The Nazis love to march.  

Well today may be the day the cherished engine room is disassembled.  Trump might have his desk in the Oval Office, but this desk works better.  Just about three more days and the Kadizzles will become gypsies.  No home, just traveling trash.  The world does take strange turns.  Our pseudo home will be at an old friends house.  Ray passed away, but it is interesting to see how the world turned.  Kadizzle may end up sleeping in Ray's bed.  Kadizzle remembers so well the first day he saw Ray.  Little did Kadizzle know how the Earth would spin to the point it has. Our lives suffer from two major curses intertwined.  Trump and the Virus have taken away so much.  The freedom to travel the world will be missed the most.  Trump has turned our country into a cesspool of virus and stupidity.  Other countries don't want us.  We are like infected rats led by the biggest rat.  At any rate have a good day  fight the fight.  Talk to every man woman and child and let them know the need to vote the rats from office.  Don't miss a chance. 

Plastic mental illness

 

With the moving game in full progress everything must be packed.  Kadizzle has become obsessed with this shrink wrap stuff.  Now he has a new way of packing for traveling.  You take one pair of socks, one pair of underwear and a T shirt, roll them in a bundle and wrap.  You have a kit for one day to get you off to a start from the shower.  With a good foundation  you are good to go.  Five days equals five bundles.  You can wrap the world with this stuff.  It keeps similar things together.  It is the greatest invention since peanut butter. 

That time of year is coming when the Kadizzle family gets to pretend we are the one percent that stole everything.  At Thanksgiving if the world still exist the family will gather in Sedona by the pool .  Sylvie will be swimming like a fish, and Kadizzle may see a couple of his sisters.  At this stressful time that scene looks pretty good. 

Once in awhile

 As the world crumbles Kadizzle often things about running away to the hills of West Virginia.  A thousand years ago Kadizzle and Winky spent the summers on the family farm up a narrow valley in the middle of West Virginia.  It was just a forest retreat.  The beauty of that place is it's self sustaining nature. The most wonderful aspect is free natural gas.  Because there is a gas well on the property the land owner gets gas free from the well.  Think about it.  The gas runs the refrigerator, heats the house, and would provide electricity if you wanted to run a generator.  The water comes from the well. The sewage goes in the outhouse. The place needs nothing to keep you alive but a garden. Deer meat is free.  If you could eat groundhogs, and squirrels you could have some variety.  The neighbors are hillbillies, and nice people.  You see noone for weeks.  The outside world leaves you alone.  So when the worst happens if we can make it back to the hills we might survive.  Maybe that is why people say head for the hill.  The good book says " I lift mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my health. ".   When all else fails you can find us on Cain' Run in Ritchie County, West Virginia.  Maybe we will come full circle .   We were here at age 26 and maybe we will die there at age 76.  Like the Nazis the Trump cult might hunt us down and eradicate us for thinking outside the Fox univers. 

Can we do 2020 over?

 This has been one of the most insane years of the old life.  Nothing compares except maybe the sixties.  Like complete fools the Kadizzles have sold their wonderful home.  What were we thinking.  We have people we have known for years caught in the mental illness of Donald Trump.  The little town we live in based on coal is seeing the end of that game.  Delusional thinking has become so popular adults are embracing Santa Clause, but he has orange hair and calls everything a hoax.  The world is literally burning up and nobody notices.  The cult cheers everytime the dolt in the White House tells another lie. Can we just do it over? Making mistakes seems to be the new normal.  Nothing makes sense.  The country is on the verge of a depression and the stock market has completely come back.  The rich are robbing the poor blind and the poor bend over for more. People tattoo themselves like savages.  Most of us are so fat we might explode.  Reality has left the room.  If you believe it, it is true, the new modus operandi.  We just drove through the smoke filled west.  The last three times Kadizzle has driven west the sky has been invisible because the west is on fire.  We have come to accept yellow air as normal, people living in tents as normal, lying presidents as normal.  Science no longer means anything. Education comes from Fox News.  What have we become? 

The Nazis are coming out of the dark

 Every time Kadizzle sees a Trump flag or any Trump cult material it shocks him like seeing a Nazi symbol. Driving across the midwest and seeing people proudly declare they are idiots is frightening. In Bismark they had a Trump rally of boats on the river.  The level of stupidity is unfathomable.  How can Trump provide such overwhelming evidence he is a crook, a liar, a con man, and a criminal yet his cult members adore his insanity, his blatant immorality.  How do they do it, how do they do it.  

Kadizzle should not be amazed.  Humans are cable of delusion in a major way.  Don't mean to offend, but churches have shown us how willing people are to believe the illogical, the unscientific, the comforting lies.  Trump is the new Jesus to these people.  Nothing Trump does adds up to reality, but the fools want to believe. Religion is all about a story that makes sense out of something that does not make sense.  Trump tells his cult their hatred of minorities makes sense, their greed makes sense, and it satisfies their need for an explanation.  People grab at explanations. People want to feel assured they know what is happening. Trump tells them a lie they like, they buy it.  When you see mass insanity it is scary.  Women were burnt as witches by mass insanity, and millions were murdered when mass insanity struck Germany.  Trump has used every trick in Hitler's playbook.  Trump has played to the masses that have been abused by the rich. Trump has made the truck driver feel like they have someone on their side.  The simple minded love Trump spitting in the face of normality because normality did the dolts wrong.  It seems the survival of this country is at stake in this election.  The big question is can the country come out of the fog? There is some hope.  Trump has become so bad some of the people who can see have left the Republican gulag. Maybe, there will be a magic bullet of intelligence that sparks the revival of thinking.  No brain fully functioning could buy into the Trump mythology. 

The new Earth Module.

 Here we sit in Forsyth Montana, second day in the new Earth module.  This one is huge compared to the old one, and just a matter of time until it is rammed into something.  Of course it has it's share of silly wis bang features like self leveling.  Kadizzle managed to life the wheels off the ground on one side inadvertently.  The buying process for this new home was insane beyond imagination.  You will get the short version.  First Winky didn't want this one then maybe she did, then she didn't.  This went on for about two hours.  In total frustration Kadizzle got in the truck and told Winky to get in.  Driving away from the dealership Winky said she did want it.  Getting this thing parked beside the house will be the big drama for today. 

The life and brains of the Kadizzles seems to be in a blender.  Daughter Cheech told Winky to make one big decision at a time.  Seems like good advice.  Selling the house, buying a new RV, a new truck and moving out of the old domicile all at once is just too much, especially when you question all your decisions.  Such is life.  Shortly we will head back to Hazen.  The new truck is a joy, it has every bell and whistle imaginable and the power to deal with the hulk behind it.  Best of all it gets better mileage than the old goat.  Add to all this the political insanity and the virus and off we go. 

Spit in the Yellowstone.

 After driving 50 mph for 500 miles to break new truck here we sit right beside the Yellowstone. From the chair I sit in the river is less than ten feet away.  Rain is beginning to fall so may have to make this short. Tomorrow we head on to Missoula to pick up the new camper.  The sound of the river should lull us to sleep.  If Yellowstone park erupts in volcanic activity we are doomed, but what a nice way to go. 

Time is shooting by

Two young guys came lumbering down the street in their football jerseys.  Those same two guys used to come down the street as little guys on bikes.  Time has passed so quickly and they are grown up and huge. Where did the time go?  At 71 years old my brain does not get it.  My body has grown old around me.  It is like a time bomb has hit.  Age is ripening everyone Kadizzle knows.  We are crumbling like those old farmsteads.  Trees Kadizzle planted are eighty feet tall, everything is worn down, the paint has faded.  The body is rusted, old, creeking, and squeaking.  The eyes strain, the brain strains,  and the atoms slow down. We tell the same stories over and over.  Grass grows between our toes, and on it goes.  The big transition is around the corner.  Soon we will become star dust once more.  Winky will have Kadizzle baked until all the atoms are free to once more go into the universe as energy.  Ain't that much energy in the atoms now.  

Here we go.  It is almost seven and we head to Missoula, Montana to get our new camper.  A long drive that will take two days.  With our new truck we are not supposed to drive over fifty miles per hour for the first five hundred miles.  That will be fun plugging up the interstate.  More coffee, and everyone be good. This is the time to fight as hard as you can to defeat the evil of the Republican party and Donald Trump.  It looks like some Republicans are sprouting testicles and standing up to the con man.  Our future is at stake and those who do nothing will be held responsible. 

 

A society of collectors

Stroupini is involved in a charitable project cleaning out the home of a hoarder.  Moving let one see how bad a hoarder even a non hoarder is.  So much junk, so much useless stuff, so much wasted money.  Seeing all  our wedding gifts that never were used.  Expensive fribles that have sat for years.  So much useless stuff.  Bees collect honey and some day they hope to eat it, but humans just collect junk. Converting the junk to cash is hopeless.  Strange ways of doing it.  Among other thing the Kadizzles have accumulated antlers.  Up at the Cenex hall a guy was buying antlers, so we hauled our up there for fifty bucks.  Fortunately old friends have purchased a lot of our furniture.  Still we will end up moving stuff that is worth less than the cost of the move. 

Back to the hoarders Stroupini is helping.  The garage was packed to the ceiling.  23 pickup loads went to the dump.  Many unopened boxes just thrown out.  Stroupine says they still have packed rooms to go. Poor old Stroupini had to haul mold laden boxes out of the basement.  What motivates people to act like squirrels? Our problem is art.  Art is fine on the wall, but the number of paintings, posters, and prints we have had to package is astounding. Most of the crap has just been in the art museum in the basement. 

The worst part of our cleansing is the junk of the children.  For fifty years we have been saving the toys of the children, all their drawings, and momentos.  Now we have to haul a pickup load to Cheech in Philadelphia, and Snooch in Denver. 

Most disturbing are the container ships hauling eighteen thousand containers at a time of Chinese junk to our country.  The garbage truck are busy running this stuff to the landfill. 

Playing with the dingers.

 Kadizzle enjoys toying with the simple minded.  On the facebook rant system some woman named Deb responded to Kadizzle with 

Mike Quinn

 I see you are a liberal piece of shit

Curious Kadizzle looked up the profile of the person.  Deb seemed to be a bit overweight.  Now, a disclaimer.  Kadizzle has too much chicken meat hanging around his middle.  Anyway here is the response to Deb

Deb, I love you more than you can imagine. Saving you from the mental illness that has eaten away at your brain is important to me. Seeing you consumed by the Trump cult brings me such sorrow. You can be cured, but you need to cooperate. You must turn off Fox News, you need to pick up a real newspaper, and turn off KFYR radio. You can come alive, you can learn to think and reason. I am here to help, but you must participate. Seeing you floundering in the darkness of Republican thought saddens me. Once there was hope for people like you, but since Trump has supplied you with the opium of stupidity it will be a struggle to make you normal. Please try. With all my love for those caught in the web of ignorance I pray for you. And stay away from that pie.

The number of Debs out there is frightening.  This morning Kadizzle noticed another friend sopping up the right wing lies like mothers milk.  The simplest logic would server these people well.  My friend is sponsoring a video that claims mail in voting is unsafe.  She promotes the idea that mail in ballots are marked Republican and Democrat.  The post office just throws away those marked to vote for Republicans.  I asked for her source for this bogus video, of course there is no way to trace back these crazy things, but the cult members love them.  You can always see Jesus face in the clouds and on burnt toast if you you just give it a try.

Electric Goats

 Last evening Kadizzle put a ring on Stroupini to see if he wanted to go on an electric bike excursion with Kadizzle and Winky.  Stroupini took us up on it.  We went to his house to get him.  Kadizzle gave his new steam whistle a couple toots.  Off we went, three old goats on electric bikes.  Down the highway and out into the country.  Why don't goats ride bikes?  The knees were a little sore, but the belly was a little smaller.  Electric bikes are catching on big time.  They are fun, and save a lot of fuel, and wear and tear on the car, and the person.  Try one. 

Discovery

The brain needs fresh food.  Kadizzle has become somewhat of a Youtube addict.  The things you can find people have made videos about are endless.  The Two Cellos below came from surfing Youtube.  You can find junk advice and good advice.  There is one called "Give it a think" that is educational, lots of good science,  and engineering.  Feeding a hungry brain is fun.  Unfortunately that hungry brain causes diarrhea of the mouth according to friends.  Winky says Kadizzle dominates conversations.  Yup probably do.  Find many interesting things to shoot out the mouth.  If you are not a Youtube surfer give it a try.  Youtube has a howto on just about everything.  So far Kadizzle has learned how to fly a jet, operate an Ohio River barge, and do a lot of other things.  The bizzare things people make are fun to see, campers pulled behind bikes and table saws made from grinders.  Want to see people do stupid stuff, endless supply.  Maybe the same category people doing scary stuff, but it does stimulate the mind.  Only problem while you sit there watching other people move you are not.

Here we go

 Slowly but surely the house is emptying. Room by room we evacuate.  Selling what we can has been a surprise.  Most of our furniture has been purchased by friends.  The Kadizzles will be able to visit friends and our old furniture at the same time.  It was nice to find good homes for the furniture.  We pulled the trigger and bought a new camper yesterday.  That means we have to haul this one to Missoula and get the other one.  Since we also bought a new truck we have to drive the first five hundred miles under fifty milers per hour.  That should be fun. 

The level of insanity reached by the country is like the virus, the spread of  stupidity.  Trump gets worse every day and more blatant in his lying and cheating,  yet his cult never waives. What could Trump do to lose the cult members?  Kadizzle sees people he knows who are cult members and just cannot comprehend how they do it.  

How do people believe things that make absolutely no sense?  Really it should not be that surprising. People have always believed nonsense.  Look at religion.  Worldwide people make up some silly story and believe it.  The failure of logic is at the heart of the matter.  Some person sells the simple minded a theory that is so bogus a child would not buy it, but the dingers do.  Conspiracy theories are selling today like hot cakes.  The psychology of stupidity is a study in itself.  Always there is the desire to believe.  The health food market is a classic.  Just take this pill, drink this water, and do this exercise, and all will be well.  What do magicians do?  Magicians play on diversion, and your desire to be fooled.  What does Trump do? Trump plays on your desire to believe lies.  Trump knows how to appeal to your worst instincts.  Figuring out how to manipulate people has been an age old trick.  No one mastered it like churches.  Give me some money every Sunday and I will sell you salvation.  Farmers figured it out. You could get more salvation by staying home and harvesting the wheat before it rained.  Sometimes logic intervenes.   You are giving money to a group that rapes little boys?  Oh it is just a few odd ones.  Rationalization, works in favor of the charlatans.  November will reveal if the fog is lifted or if the tidal wave of ignorance has overwhelmed us.

Good morning Russians.

 The little page that tells Kadizzle what countries are looking at this blog says Kadizzle has three times more Russians reading the blog than Americans.  According to the statistics one thousand seven hundred and fifty Russians are tuned in.  Now please some Russian let me know why.  No one with any sense would waste their time reading this stuff. Why do Russians like it.  If you are a Russian get hold of me somehow.  It makes no sense.  The only thing that might make sense is Russians helping throw our elections.  Maybe they need to get a sense for what goes on in our country.  Someone solve this mystery. 

Steal the Mind

 OK this may offend some people, but such is life.  Moving through town in recent days Kadizzle goes past the Methodist Church.  Outside are little children, little children being indoctrinated.  A nice young woman sits on a chair and tells the little children stories that are myths, legends, and unsubstantiated nonsense. Now we wonder how adults can believe in Trump.  As children the Trumpsters were taught about the dead arising, walking on water, talking snakes, women turned into salt, so believing Trump is not much of a leap.  What a disservice to a young mind, getting children to lose the ability to tell truch from fiction, to tell logical from illogical.  God wiped out a lot of people with floods, plagues, and you name it, now tell the kids he is a living God.  None of it makes a bit of sense, but it prepares young minds to think in a way that makes no sense.  Just believe, that doesn't work.  The real world has facts, science, research, and even truth. Religion tells young kids to avoid all this.  Don't believe what you see, if someone tells you a fantastic lie it might be true.  Why would anyone do this to little kids?  How will you expect to live in a real world when you don't believe in the real world? The Bible teaches kids it is all right to kill a bunch of people once in awhile. God did it.  The Bible did nothing about slavery, the crusades, or so much of the carnage the Catholic church sponsored.  The Bible enabled the priest to rape the little boys. No, no it wasn't the Bible.  Oh yes it was, it was a tool of Trump.  Trump used the Bible to further his propaganda game as he walked to the church.  The Bible was used to tell the slaves they were meant to be slaves.  It all starts with little children washed in the blood of the lamb.  

Toot's new Horn

 As promised here is Toot Stroupini with the new brass steam whistle.  In the background you can see the landscape work Kadizzle and Stroupini did at his new house. 

The Crash is coming

 As usual Kadizzle awankend about 4 A.M.   The article in the New York Times glaring at him from  his laptop told about the store closings in New York.  Winky just read something out loud about the economy in Britain.  We are entering a new world and most of the world is oblivious.  The old economy has to be replaced it just will not work.  There is no work.  Think how many people have been put out of work.  Look up at the sky, do you see the jet contrails? No, what does that tell you?  The game has changed.  What happens when people have no work and no money? Rebellion.  The recent riots were just the beginning of social unrest.  The greed Republicans have sewn is going to backfire in a big way.  What is money? Money is just paper that represents work.  You cannot print work.  This will soon be discovered.  The train is coming down the track and the tea party on the railroad track is going to have a rude interruption. The fallacy of this economy is going to become so obvious even a Trump supporter can see it.  How can you keep the illusion going when the priest are having sex with little boys?  That is Trump.  His crimes are so blatant it is getting hard for the cult members to ignore. 

The big move goes on.  The house is just about devoid of furniture.  The Kadizzles are down to seeds and stems.  The dining room table will go tonight.  The twin beds downstairs went last night.  Kadizzle sold the twin beds to the victim of homeschooling.  The poor guy never learned any social skills.  His family had their little cult. Now he is out in the world with no friends, and no clue how to relate to normal people. Kadizzle feels sorry for people robbed of their minds by religion.  What a cruel thing to do to your children.  Fill their heads with nonsense and isolate them from reality.  

Toot Stroupini

 Kadizzle had to go to the court house today to have Stroupini's first name changed.  Now he is " Toot" Stroupini.  Old Toot has been working on a great project.  Toot took a large propane tank and filled it with compressed air.  The air runs his steam whistle down at his house.  Kadizzle was just on the back porch and Toot gave a few blast.  About a mile away the wonderful sound of a riverboat came to the back yard.  Toot was on the phone when he let loose so Kadizzle could hear the toot on the phone and then a second later the sound came over to the Kadizzle house.  Now, a schedule has to be made for when the horn will blow.  Kadizzle will get a picture of the wonderful device and post it on here. 

Around it spins

 It has happened once more, the sun came up.  The house looks like it has been hit by a tornado on the inside.  The moving out process chugs along.  Kadizzle is not attached to things, but Winky has treasures.  The treasures are a pain.  Somehow getting things out of the house we have lived in for so long means it is real.  We have some of the best neighbors in the world.  Dallas and Marilyn invited over for dinner the other night.  When you eat at the old grocer's house and he is married to a good cook lookout.   When Dallas cooks steak you know it will be a belly buster, and Marilyn made some special peaches baked with blue cheese.  Umm, umm, umm.  Of course there was slap your granny pie. 

Bob lives up the street.  Bob has a collection of tools, nails, and you name it in his basement.  Over the years Kadizzle has transferred all his excess to Bob's basement. Bob puts it in an orderly fashion. Now when you need something you just call Bob's hardware.  The Kadizzle's were original settlers in this neighborhood. Some great people came and went. In fact we are the only original settlers when you think about it. 

This morning Kadizzle is thinking about how he could get back to New Zealand.  They will not let you in. New Zealand is virus free.  Winky would love it, but we cannot get in. 

The biggest headache in this moving process is the wall hangings.  For some strange reason the Kadizzles are incapable of packaging the blasted art work.  So Cheech insisted on hiring packers.  The professionals will be paid an outrages sum to stuff pictures in a box that we could do for free, but it will create some kind of strange comfort for Winky.  

On the side Winky is hankering for a new fifth wheel camper.  That is a read undertaking.  If we get one we will have to travel to Idaho, or Arizona.  Dealing with those guys over the phone is a treat as they try to explain to you that you need to just give them the Earth Module on trade.  Going broke the old fashioned way is fun. 

Trickle Up

Some friends took the Kadizzles out on a boat yesterday to tour the land of the prosperous.  Along the lake people are paying one million to tear down and existing lake home and build one for a few million.  These are the people who refuse to pay their share of taxes and hire Kelly Armstrong, and Kevin Cramer to protect them from the welfare cheats.  Income inequality is on full display at the lake.  One classic case is the poor fellow who built an 11,000 square foot home and cannot find a buyer.  Some little oil orphan will buy it given enough time.  As many lose their homes the Republicans rejoice in the new banana Republic . The Republican tax system makes sure all the bananas go to the top. 

AMERICA WAKE UP - George Carlin - American Dream 2020

Another Day

 Kadizzle slept so hard he had a hard time coming back to life.  What a life to come back to.  The insane clown is still in his circus tent.  Insanity is raining down on our moving project.  The Kadizzle family has never moved since 1976.  Our last move from West Virginia to North Dakota was a joke.  Kadizzle worked for Conoco at the time.  Money was no object for the big oil company and they had a special division that moved people.  Conoco paid about three thousand dollars to move about ten dollars worth of trash.  We had nothing.  The result was a full sized moving van with a pile of cinder blocks, and the most amazing thine a pile of firewood.  Kadizzle did not know Winky was bringing the firewood when the truck pulled into the farmyard in North Dakota.  Also on the truck was a five by five piece of marble we used for a table top.  Now when we need that truck, we are trying to move with a wheelbarrow.   The house is strewn with boxes and fribble frable.  We have rented a storage shed.  

Storage sheds are the bain of the country and say so much about what we have become.  There is almost one storage locker for every home in Hazen.  Storing crap is the new American dream.   The curse of the countryside is steel buildings.  We import giant shiploads of recycled trash from China and store it in metal sheds.  We live by the motto " Someday I am going to need that "  .   Then you die and your kids say" What in the hell did he save that for?"  Sitting over there on the kitchen island is a set of carving knives, a very expensive set we got for our wedding two hundred years ago.  Maybe once we used those knives.  There is so much that was purchased to feel like we were prosperous, but never used.  

Back in the hills

Stroupini and Kadizzle have been learning, and studying hillbilly life. Kadizzle grew up there, so he has some background.  The video posted below has some good hillbilly language.  It is a good primer for what the old hillbillies were like.  Fun to watch if you are bored. 

This is the Last Dam Run of Likker I'll Ever Make (full movie)

Out the door

Moving, what an experience.  Giving away stuff, selling stuff, throwing stuff out.  The real hassle is giving crap to the kids.  Figuring out what they want and how to get it to them is the worst part of the game.  Megan lives in Philadelphia, and Erin is in Denver.  One of the worst things to deal with is a piece of furniture that is somewhat of an art piece.  It is a custom made bar that will be very expensive to get to Philadelphia.  Today Kadizzle will break down and rent a storage shed.  Hate the damn things. They are the curse of our country. When you have so much detris you have to rent an extra garage you and your country have a problem.  We are a nation of accumulators.  Winky and Kadizzle never thought they were bad in that category, but once you start carrying the junk you haven't used for thirty years out the door you understand how much waste there really is in this country.  Kadizzle watched a youtube video on one of those giant container ships.  It carried 18,000 containers.  Imagine how much junk that is in one ship.  That many truckloads of junk headed to our landfills from China. 

The Faithful

Right in front of you Trump says we need to get rid of the post office.  Right in front of you Trump says we need to postpone the election.  You just don't notice.  The faithful are amazing.  In the midst of reality they chose to follow the delusion.  If you want to see it you can.  If you want to see blood coming from the eyes of a statue someone can arrange it.  If you want to see the all time con man of history as a saint, no problem.  Believe, just believe, that is all it takes. 

The placebo effect is amazing.  It reminds old Kadizzle so much of the day he walked out of a Whole Foods grocery story with a friend.  There was a case of water for sale by the door.  The water said it had natural hydrogen in it. Kadizzle asked out loud " Who would buy that stuff".  The friend said " I do". Imagine natural hydrogen, as opposed to artificial hydrogen.  Once you say natural hydrogen, then by implication that means there must be artificial hydrogen.  That is how Trump operates.  Trump tells the cult there are groups out to defeat him and sure enough there are people who fight the idiot everyday.  So those must be the secret groups he has told us about.  Kadizzle is going to go down on main street and say something stupid,  someone will call him an idiot.  No he is a profit.  Kadizzle predicted someone would call him an idiot.  How easy is it to start a nonsensical cult. 

The Gods are angry.  If you give me some money I can talk to the Gods and have them be happier and make it rain.  It didn't work.  You didn't give me enough money.  Just be patient.  See after you gave me more money it finally did rain.  The deep state caused the virus.  Help me fight the deep state.  Send in money so we can get more judges to help make the Deep State illegal.
