Rerun about the Gila River

This morning while purusing the NYT Lord Kadizzle came across a travel article that mentioned the Gila Hot Spring. It was fun reading the article to read someone else's impression. You always meet friendly interesting people there. When the commander and Lord Kadizzle went there to soak a couple years ago a young boy was wandering around while his mom soaked. Lord Kadizzle engaged him in a conversation, and he proceeded to tell his Lordship that he created most of the art work that was every where. The Commander absolutely loves the natural art work by the spring. It is all made from tree branches, and what ever else occurs naturally in the area. You look at a tree and suddenly realize the branches form a fish, or something else.

After talking to the young guy who appeared to be about six or seven, and more full of BS than even Lord Kadizzle it occurred to his lordship that it was a school day. "Why aren't you in school' I asked the young guy. He quickly told me that he got thrown out. Of course I had to know why. He explained that his mother was called to a meeting with the teacher and his mother swore at the teacher. "So they threw you out to?" I asked. He explained what happened. His mother said to the teacher "F,,,k you, and he chimened in "F,,,k you too teacher". The net result was he and his mother were now enjoying a nice soak at the hot spring. The young boy seemed like an intelligent and nice kid, and I can see coming to the defense of mom, but I hope they got things patched up and he did not learn a bad lesson from the encounter with the teacher. In a short time we will head south. If we get to the Gila Hot springs, it would be fun to see how he is doing. The whole thing makes me think of another encounter we had with Justin Time. We named him that because his first name was Justin, and we did not know his last name. The commander and Lord Kadizzle had a wonderful time taking Justin Time for a hike. For some strange reason my mind keeps wondering how Justin Time is doing. He was such a nice kid in a bad situation, and he had such a good attitude. Hope things are going well for Justin Time.
