Six beans or four beans

The famous Jasper Littlebottom is engaged in planning her hiking trip on the John Muir Trail in August.  Never in the history of mankind has an assault been planned in such detail.  As Kadizzle sits here three air mattresses are laid out on the floor for a total cost of $500.  Littlebottom intends to practice sleep on each one to insure she picks exactly the right one for the great hike.  The losers will hopefully be returned.  With her buddy Deb they have discussed details of the 225 mile trip for hours on the phone and in person.  No detail can be overlooked.  How much does the toilet paper weigh?  How many sheets will we need?  On Wednesday will we put three green peas in the soup or four?  D Day was do da compared to this planning.  The research also goes on forever.  Hours spent on the internet.  What shoe, what underwear, what flashlight?  Now what Kadizzle fears most.  A lot of this stuff, which they do not give away may only be used once or twice during the rest of our life.  So this adventure will be pricey.  The good news is it means Kadizzle has an athlete in bed beside his lump of a body at night.  Kadizzle may be without adult supervision for up to three weeks this summer, and there could be some long stretches of peace and quiet.  Now Littlebottom just expressed some doubt she may even make the trip.  If she cancels quickly we can avoid the $80 dollar bear proof canister for the hiking food.  Oh yes the hiking food.  First it is expensive, but then comes the testing.  So you have to buy the food twice. Once to test it, and then once when you actually take it on the trip. Hope the bears enjoy the expensive food. If only Kadizzle could eat dehydrated food and get himself dehydrated.
