3:30 A.M.

Kadizzle awakened at an early hour.  The mind was active even though defective.  Some very strange dreams buzzed through the organ on top of the shoulders.  Kadizzle has been assisting a friend with some plumbing.  The plumbing problem is in a very strange house.  Someone built the house many years ago.  The original people thought they were embracing modern times and decided to put the house on a concrete slab, no basement.  All the plumbing would run through the slab including the hot water heating system in the pipes encased in concrete.  Then some magic happened.  The concrete slab with all the pipes cracked when it settled.  All the pipes broke.  Now how do you you get water to the bathroom, the kitchen, and all over the house?  This is where the nightmare starts.  Some genius decided to run all the plumbing up into the attic and down to where it was needed.  The net result is a house with plastic lines running in the most unusual places.  Pipes in closets,  and pipes coming down from the attic everywhere.  This is North Dakota and pipes in the attic could get mighty cold.  Now with the heating system in the floor destroyed the house still had to be heated.  Someone installed radiant electric heaters all over the place up on the top of the walls all over the house.  These heaters must not have worked very well or more heat was needed, or they were just too damn expensive.  So the last people in the house kept a wood fire in a decretive fire place burning all the time.  The radiant  heaters drew the smoke up in the rooms and coated the ceiling with soot.  There must have been another wood fireplace in the garage that also helped coat everything with soot.

For some strange reason the thought came to Kadizzle in the middle of the night that a one time owner of the nightmare house was the man in charge of maintenance at the mine where Kadizzle had worked.  Now the puzzle began.  The man who Kadizzle knew well was an electrician and certainly knew how to do all kinds of maintenance.  It was very puzzling that a well qualified person in all areas of mechanical things would live in a Rube Goldberg set up.  So this will be the topic for an investigation today.  Was that actually the house where ex maintenance person lived?

Just burning up time waiting for the sun to rise, so how about a little rant?  Insanity is rampant in this country.  We are rotting from the top down.  Trump and his parade shows the rot.  Trump features himself as a dictator.  Dictators love big military shows of might.  Trump is going to embarrass the entire country putting on a Nazi display of marching soldiers.  Everything the United States stands for will be upturned when The Donald gives his speech in front of tanks, planes, and guns.   This is not the country we want to live in.  The flag wavers, the thoughts and prayers people, and the fundamentalist along with the NRA guys will love it.  We have fallen prey to idiocy, Fox News, and the Republican Party.  God bless America, and remember God chose Trump for president, so God can make big mistakes.
