Four Peaks Hike

Winky and Jackie are going to hike up the Four Peaks, not Kadizzle. That is a very difficult hike and taking little Joey up there would be a chore. Kadizzle is a bit upset with the Virginia election. It was just too easy for the Republicans to fool the Hoopleheads there. Using the school gambit they got to many soft Democrats to vote Republican. Nonsense about critical race theory abounded, and it worked for the Republicans. Are people that stupid? Yes, yes, yes. This so much reminds Kadizzle of a friend who did very well in business. The friend purchased water with natural hydrogen, and paid dearly to get the natural hydrogen. What she bought was natural stupidity. In case anyone is confused there is no natural hydrogen, natural H2O, or natural element of any sort. Sulfur is always sulfur, iron is always iron, and you cannot grow organic aluminum. However, confusing people and taking advantage of them is so simple. The water with natural hydrogen was selling for $24 for two gallons. A simple question would be " Where do you get natural hydrogen".  Nope if it says it on the box or on the google, then it must be so. Republicans know simple minded people do not ask too many questions. 

Part three. How not to do anything. Yesterday we had a meeting with the boss. The boss explained for some time how to use a chain saw. After informing the trail crew all the safety issues of chain saws the boss said no one was ever to use a chain saw. After the meeting several people wondered why in the hell would we spend time going over chains saw safety then be told never to use one? If you don't want to do anything in the Forest Service Culture there is a secret method for stopping all progress. Kadizzle has suggested he use a little tractor to fix the local trails around the campground. He has done this for two years. The new boss said no. There might be Indian artifacts that could be disturbed. They put the trail in originally with equipment, but we cannot maintain them with equipment. Any improvement that someone does not want to undertake can quickly be stopped by saying " We will have to do an archaeological survey. It works, progress is at a standstill, so that means we never can improve anything. Want to put in a new trail? No, an ancient person could have dropped an arrowhead just about anywhere. OK, so lets do the survey. Oh, that will take reams of paper work and months to get approved. Ok, lets just forget about it. Works every time.  On the other hand if you do want to do something then just sort of ignore the possibility that natives once used the land.  A great example is digging a hole anywhere. Even if a survey is done it only affects the surface. People from three hundred years ago could be buried anywhere. People were not buried on the surface. So even if you do a survey, you have really accomplished nothing. Now, consider Arizona. About 2/3 of the state is federal land. That means a vast area that keeps the Archaeologist in business. 

All of this reminds Kadizzle of the old days back at the coal mine in North Dakota. Someone needs to fund Archaeologist, so the Archaeologist dreamed up the idea that they needed to excabate two Tepee rings on the mine for 70 thousand dollars.  Carefully with tiny shovels, and brushes they uncovered the earth on the first tepee ring. According to them they did not have the money to do the second ring. Code for we can make more money not doing the second ring. So the professionals asked us to use one of the biggest motor graders made to plow the second tepee ring. The huge machine just turned over the soil and if there had been a treasure there was a good chance they never would have found it or it would have been destroyed. This made it pretty clear it the whole thing was just a ploy to make money. The first ring revealed nothing, and the second ring didn't either, but some company made 70k on the deal.
