Commander decides to neuter Lord Kadizzle

Randy Christmann Saves Lord Kadizzle from The Commander

Many of you may recall Lord Kadizzle ran for the North Dakota legislature and lost to a team of Republicans. The leader of the Republican team was Randy Christman. Inadvertently, Lord Kadizzle found legislation that Senator Christman successfully introduced and had passed in the North Dakota legislature:

North Dakota made it illegal to force people to insert microchips into their bodies.

Sen. Randy Christmann, R-Hazen, said he introduced the bill for a constituent knowledgeable about the subject.

Initially skeptical, Christmann found that at least one other state had taken similar action.

“Knowing how easy implantation of chips can be with livestock, it occurred to me that it is not out of the realm of possibility that someone in a position of power over someone else could coerce them into accepting a tracking device,” he explained.

Christmann cited domineering employers or abusive spouses as examples.

Well, it turns out The Commander was planning on putting a microchip in Lord Kadizzle. The Commander has suspected for many years that when she calls on her cell phone to check on Lord Kadizzle's progress she is not getting reliable information. Frequently his Lordship would be awakened from a gravity attack on the couch by the ring of The Commander's cell phone. Of course Lord Kadizzle reports that he is in the back yard working. In other instances, his Lordship has been caught in a frivolous conversation when he was supposed to be on The Commander's mission.

The Commander had planned to put a chip in his Lordship's posterior that would register when he was sitting and send out a signal. The chip would also report Lord Kadizzle's location. Just in the nick of time, Randy has stepped in with his legislation that will make it possible for his Lordship to live with dignity. The commander is now contemplating a shock collar.

Noble Youth off to very good start

Megan and Ned have been working for over a year with their new business Noble Youth. Collaborating they have produced a line of clothing. Yesterday a well known web site The Daily Candy featured an article on Noble Youth. With the word out things began to roll. Sales were good right from the start, and better yet they made some good contacts. Among others they were asked by Women's Wear Daily to get in touch. Megan and Ned are very pleased, and so is Lord Kadizzle. Lord Kadizzle is a major stockholder in Noble Youth. Check out the web site at http://www.nobleyouthdesign.com/ Order as much as you can afford, the Kingdom needs the cash flow.

A Noble Example
noble youth!

Friends, colleagues, administrators. We are gathered here today to celebrate young people engaged in the development of wardrobe essentials.

A new brand, Noble Youth, offers all of us hope for a new society that is inclusive and tolerant of short, sleeveless cloaks and for new, visionary leadership from someone dressed in cuffed houndstooth shorts.

There are more than four million women in this city who could benefit from the bright red, short-sleeve, flared Samba frock. And just as many men who stand to gain from the plunging neckline of the ruffled blue Plum dress.

The integration of poetry and romance in the line is exemplified by the puckered, high-neck Poe blouse and the regal, fitted, Cleopatra minidress — both in crisp white.

We applaud the creative energy of the first collection and encourage our Noble Youth to forge ahead and help build wardrobes of other nations.

Thank you for the soapbox.

Jake to appear on Oprah Show

According to local news my little neighbor Jake will be on the Oprah show next week. If you have been to my house you may have met Jake. Jake is the seven year old bi-lateral amputee that lives next door. Jake can be a handful. Sometimes he taunts me by yelling "Hey Old Man". This often means I have to chase him into the trampoline, catch him and wrestle him into submission.

Last summer while I was washing the car, Jake was being a real nuisance. Several times I warned Jake that if he did not stop bothering me he was going to get soaked with the hose. Sure enough I had to give him a squirt of water. It did no good, so I continued to dowse him. It was not long before he was completely soaked, and finally went home. I began to think I might be in trouble. The next day I asked his sister if their mom was mad because I soaked Jake. She told me when he took his legs off water poured out of the sockets, but his mother said he probably deserved what he got.

Sailing Article

Steve Regenold did another article about sailing on the Sovereign last year. If you would like to see it you can either go to the Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine on line, or click on this link http://www.mspmag.com/travel/travel/68741.asp

I have been in contact with a photographer who has done articles for Cruising Magazine.
This is a major sailing magazine and will be a good hit if he sails this summer. If North Dakota would make any kind of effort to promote our lake, it could have big paybacks.

The Commander returns to Hazen, and disarray

Lord Kadizzle tried hard to have the castle in reasonable shape for the return of The Commander, however circumstances conspired against him. Most of the debris from the underwear, and sock storm had been cleared away, the bathroom was given a cursory cleaning, and the kitchen was even restored to original condition. The problem began when Ed suggested spaghetti for dinner. Lord Kadizzle and Ed made the kitchen back into the battle ground it was yesterday. Even though his Lordship made some progress, it did not pass the Commander's muster when she returned. Things are expected to return to normal today. With the return of The Commander, the peasants feel reassured there is some order in the Kingdom.

Three idiots

Three idiots are missing in Australia. According to the news report they found their sailboat with food on the table and in good condition, but nobody was on board. The Coast Guard in Australia suspects they got in the dingy and forgot to anchor the boat. The boat got away.

Now this brings me to some of the dumb sailboat things that I have done which may have qualified me to be idiot number four. Years ago a friend approached my boat with a jet ski. I was alone on the boat. With the boat under sail I asked him to give me a ride on his jet ski. The wind was light and my boat was sailing on auto pilot. Roxy agreed to give me a ride. I climbed off the boat and got on his jet ski. The plan was to let the boat sail by itself down the middle of the lake until I re boarded. As soon as I got on the jet ski, Roxy accidentally dropped the keys to the jet ski in the lake. My boat was headed down the lake, and we were stuck. Fortunately Roxy figured out how to hot wire the jet ski, and things worked out.

Once The Commander and Lord Kadizzle were sailing with the spinaker up. It was a warm evening and we were in the middle of nowhere, so we decided to jump in the water nude and drag on the ladder behind the boat. After dragging awhile naked, it occurred to me that if the boat got away, it would be a strange accident report. The newspaper would report our naked bodies found on the shore miles from our boat. No one would ever figure out what happened. We got back on the boat. Someday I hope to make headlines under the idiot category.

Off to do some Logging

Lord Kadizzle is off today to do some logging at the Logging Camp Ranch. The ranch is located in South West North Dakota. The location is very strange. The little forest where this ranch is located is surrounded by hundreds of miles of treeless prairie in every direction. Why this little forest cropped up is a strange phenomenon. There had to be a micro climate that made it possible.

Ray Kerns and I are going to go down for a couple of days and help clean up some of the mess they had from a forest fire. Ray is taking some logs down with us to have cut up in the saw mill there. Kadizzle needs the exercise, so here we go.

Fire Belly strikes Lord Kadizzle

Last night I was hit with a severe case of fire belly. It all started when I had the brilliant idea to bake some chocolate chip cookies. I thought it best to sample some of the dough before I started baking. I think the dough rising in the boiler was part of the problem. At 12:45 I tried to douse the fire with some baking soda and water, it seemed to help, but there were rumblings of a volcano.

To research this article I went to the web site of: Association of Independent Competitive Eaters
Home of Picnic Style Rules

Here I found that people eat jalapeño peppers competitively. I felt like I had been crowned champ at their annual picnic.

Poor Old Snoocher Bear

Deep in the woods with her elk, her fox, Fran, and her mom the poor old Snoocher Bear is recovering from her knee surgery. She needs to get back in shape so she can sail with Lord Kadizzle this summer.
