Shanika showed up yesterday. The long drive wore him down. Dina should be here on Friday. Two old North Dakota friends show up and the weather here turns terrible. All the nice sunny warm days are gone and a cold front is here. 

Had to start a range war with the guy who built our house. He refuses to put up the required drop boxes so we can get mail. After dancing around in circles with him the fuse blew yesterday and Kadizzle took on city hall.  Hopefully we will get some action. The builder just does not want to spend the money. He is a young guy and perhaps he is in over his head. A lot of money went into developing this new area. Some unexpected problems came up. To put in the streets it took some actual blasting. Then the fire department made him store water in tanks while the homes were built. To top it off the city made him put in a pump station to increase water pressure. The net result was a much more expensive adventure than anticipated. 

All this is sad, but not a problem we caused. One cannot deal with financial institutions unless you have a physical address. Changing our address from Hazen to Payson has been a nasty process. With the birthday coming up you may want to send gifts or money. If you request the new address it can be sent. Have to be careful terrorist or Republicans don't get it. 

When Kadizzle went to city hall yesterday he was amazed by the security precautions. To enter one had to go through three doors in a row. The last door was locked and a special phone was there so you could call the receptionist. She could peer from her perch and see you before you were let in. Once you got to here it looked like she was in a bullet proof cage. Kadizzle asked why all the security. She explained they had a few nut cases come in and had to call the police on some occasions. That is what you get in Trump country where everyone is armed and government is the enemy.
