Didn't notice you were mentally ill.

Stroupini and Kadizzle went to the Subway hall to have lunch.  Sitting there was an old guy famous in Hazen for being a few bubbles off.  The old fellow told us how on their farm they used to bury rocks to provide nitrogen to the soil.  Politely we listened to the nonsense, but we knew the fellow was not running with a full tank. 

This brings us to our president.  Trump is simply mentally ill.  The amazing thing are the people who just don't notice.  Trump often speaks incoherently.  No problem.  Trump thinks he might be sent by God.  Of course.  Trump believes he is the greatest everything.  OK.  The Trumpster is nuts, yet you have adults who just don't notice.  Within minutes Trump will reverse himself and lie like a dog, but his followers and supporters just don't notice.

Fall is coming like a freight train.  Kadizzle has been asked to race his old sailboat Xanadu.  It will be fun to race the boat like we did in the old days.  Now for a little bragging.  If we manage to win it will be the third or fourth time the Kadizzle crew wins the race.  In fact the only time anyone else has won was last year when we did not participate.  The race committee at the last race we were in told us that if we won we would be awarded the second place prize.  This begged the question, what if we came in second would we get first place?  That would be a strange race where you had to come in second to win.  Strangely coming in second in a sailboat race would be very difficult.  Sailboat races are handicapped so you don't actually know how well you are doing until the race is over.  A timed handicap means the winning boat must beat the next boat by a certain amount of time.   On the water . you have no real idea of how much time the boat behind you is.  Now, for a little honesty.  Most of the racers are inexperienced.  Then there is one more factor there are not that many boats.  Very few may show up for the race. In fact it could be down to three, so getting third place will not be hard.
