Taking in Strangers

Kadizzle rode the ebike out to the grocery store.  One thing about riding a bike is you meet more people and have a better social life.   You can even meet bums, but in this case it was not a bum.  As Kadizzled gazed toward the RV park he noticed a tent with a bike, a sure sign of a cross country biker.  Kadizzle stopped by as the guy in his early sixties was rearranging his stuff.  Like so many people who are on a bike all day he was long and thin.  His goal was the Lewis and Clark trail which follows the Missouri.

Kadizzle invited the man over for a beer.  Later a knock on the door announced his beer quest.  On a nice evening we shot the breeze. Bill turned out to be a newly retired teacher.  Mrs. Kadizzle who loves to talk about bikes and beer had her shot at him, then Kadizzle got into the usual political crap.

Time for an observation.  After many years of meeting many, many out doors people science shows the majority are liberals, which Bill turned out to be.  It is extremely rare to find anyone doing anything vigorous that is a Red Hat Trump brain.  Now you will find conservatives driving large motor homes pulling a car ( No offense Omar).   Now Kadizzle will give the conservative their due. Kadizzle has met some very hard working, gun toting conservatives that volunteer.  This is a bit of a strange concoction.  Perhaps conservatives believe in doing their share, but not too much actual sharing of societies goods.

The brave garbage bandoliers just came down the street.  Slowly we are trying to sneak our construction waste into their truck.  On a hot day riding the back of a garbage truck with the lovely breeze of decay blowing in your face takes courage beyond wearing a Trump hat.
