Put the hat on

Yesterday Kadizzle put on the green Forest Service hat and headed up the trail with the trail crew.  It was refreshing to be deep in a natural setting away from all the insanity of a country covered by cars, asphalt, and fast food places.  The southwest is dry, but about two miles up the stream there was some water squeaking out of the ground.  How do the plants make it?  As always there were no animals. It seems so strange to travel through so much land and not see any deer, bear, even squirrels.

In order to make America great Kadizzle and his crew try to make the trails great.  One controversial thing on the trails is carrion's.  People pile up rocks to mark trails.  Generally this is a good thing, but some purist feel it is an intrusion on nature so they kick over the markers.  These people are known as carrion kickers.  Well it seemed like a carrion kicker had been on the trail so Kadizzle re established  many of the carrions.   Besides building rock markers Kadizzle cleared brush.  The cat claws are the meanest most determined brush.  In the course of removing the little bastards Kadizzle's hands are chewed up and bleeding. 

The great thing about working for free clearing trails is knowing that it frees up money for the federal government.  That means there is more money to give tax breaks to the rich.  Out there in the fresh air helping the rich is a great feeling.  It would sure be nice to think we were freeing up money so people could have health care, but the rich are going to trickle on us.  Getting trickled on is a wonderful experience.   To see the happy people at Walmart getting trickled on, and the counter people everywhere getting their massive tax breaks cannot but help one get in the Christmas spirit and love the Republican Jesus.
