One more time

Looking toward the East the horizon is starting to glow and any moment the sun will pop up on what looks like a very nice day.  The trail gang is headed to Campaign Trail. Kadizzle decided to stay back and start his own new trail.  Kadizzle is going to ride the ebike down to the power canal and start a trail west.  In the background music is playing. The song is " Your own sweet way".   That is how the day will go,  Kadizzle will go his own sweet way.  Now the next song came up.  John Prine is singing. If you are not a John Prine fan you should be.  No one can put words to music like Prine.  Either you like him or you don't.  Kadizzle put Darch onto Prine, now he is addicted.

Yesterday we made a call to Binki back in North Dakota where he is freezing his ass off.  The call was so Kadizzle could test the new Google mini.  It is the Google version of Alexa.   It worked.  The horizon is getting more orange, and the sun is bound to come up, if it doesn't we are in big trouble.

Will the government shut down take place this week?  Since we are directly affected working for the Forest Service it will put us out of work.  Next is my letter to the Bismarck Tribune about Trump and his folly.

The world is changing and jobs are being lost to artificial intelligence.  Meanwhile the country is being lost to artificial stupidity. Since Republicans invented alternative facts, denied climate change, and elected a man that cannot tell the truth the industry of artificial stupidity is thriving.  Fox News is the frontrunner in creating artificial stupidity for profit, closely followed by right wing talk radio. When people succumb to the the Trump Cult and subscribe to the world of fantasy where they are under a constant threat from caravans, liberals, and socialist the ground becomes fertile for artificial stupidity.  It is artificial because there is a choice. You can read, you can embrace science, you can have a wide spectrum of input to your intellect, but if you put blinders on and shut out reality you have created a world that does not exist. You have created a world where people live in constant fear, and are the victims of a con man that thrives on lies and distortion.  These episodes of artificial stupidity never turn out well. Germany learned the hard way what happens when you embrace a lying tyrant. As the people of Germany endured firebombing did they realize the hell they were suffering was caused by embracing a man driven by hate and an insane need for power? If you want to be artificially stupid ignore history, science, and those trying to rescue you from your cult.
