Back to the mountain

 Back to the mountain with rainy drizzle. What do people see in city life? Once in a while it is fun to visit a large city. The fun quickly disappears, too many people, too much trash, too much waste, too much insanity.  No one would ever plan a world like we live in. Cars are an insane way to move about. If you step back and look at how silly cars are, you see the insane waste of materials to move people about. The idea of using a six thousand pound vehicle to move a 200 pound person makes very little sense. You could move a person with a 15 pound bicycle. Moving one person at a time is the real insanity. A freeway full of cars each with just one person says it all. The amount of concrete, labor, and steel that goes into a freeway defies all logic. We are paying for our stupidity. So many people in the world have so little. They have so little because we have so much. It is that simple. The concrete that could have built millions homes was poured down for our cars. The steel that could have provided millions with modern appliances went into our roads. The oil that could have heated their homes and driven their tractors was blasted out the back of our jets, and pickup trucks. 

If someone from another planet came and saw what we did with what we have the would leave as fast as they could. Hopefully not in a space car with one person. 

Where are the Trump Flags

The Kadizzles will leave New England today and head back to a land infested with Trumpers. So nice to drive around manicured properties, away from gunslingers, and obnoxious pickup trucks. The little towns here are pristine, there are not bright signs everywhere. The streets are clean and junked cars do not fill the yards. Why are the most poverty stricken areas the strongest Trump strongholds. In areas where the IQ and the income are low, Trump festers.  

Attacking Barberry

Here we are at Megan and Sam's house in a massive battle against the barberry bushes. Hours of cutting and raking has made a dent in the Eastern front. There is about an acre of the noxious stuff. Today another assault. Old Kadizzle is sore and his arthritis in the hand is acting up.  

Stepping into different worlds

Kadizzle has bobbed about in many different worlds. There is so much difference from place A and place B.  People move through each others worlds, but they are detached. You ride your bike down a bike path in Denver past people homeless living in a tent. That person is right there, ten feet away, but in reality they are a million miles away. Your worlds do not really intersect. A person who sleeps on the ground is in a totally different world than the person on a comfortable bed. The person on the plane is in a first class seat, and the person in the back of the plane is cramped into his seat, two different worlds. Black people live in an entirely different world. White people will never enter that world. Russians are in a different world. Each of us thinks we can step in and out of the worlds, but generally it does not work. If you don't believe a lie the people in the other world believe, you cannot get into their world. The problem comes from the idea we are all in the same world. Not the case. When you simply pick up the phone and have food sent to your house, that is far different from having lunch in a basement with bombs falling. Putin does not live in the world his soldiers do. Trump doesn't live in the world his flag waving idiots do. How strange to let someone in another world tell you what to do in your world. 

Day Two with Monkey Jumpers

Monkey jumpers can wear out anyone. Megan has two wild ones. The big one goes to school, so that leaves Quinnie to hike in the woods with us. Old Kadizzle is still amazed by all the rock walls everywhere here. A lot of work went into the walls. 

Megan is lucky to now be living in the country 35 miles from New York City. On the plane ride we could see New York in the distance as we landed. The cloudy East is not the sunny West. Kadizzle can remember living in West Virginia where the sun did not shine for weeks at a time. So used to sunshine.  

Another Planet

 The plane touched down in White Plains, New York. The Kadizzle drove to Cheech's house in the woods to see the two jumping monkies, Quinn, and Evie.  We thought we had rocks, but New England has us beat. Wow, the rock walls put Kadizzle to shame. Grandchildren are fun, full of energy and new life.

OK, Kadizzle is 73 Today

A lot of thank you's for the birthday wishes. The old man turned 73 today. The world has changed a lot in 73 years. Never thought a thug like Trump would be president, never thought might see a nuclear war, never thought so many people would join a cult like the Trump cult. Hard to believe in my lifetime the tax structure has been turned upside down, the infrastructure has been allowed to crumble, and we have televised lying that people believe. Sad to say in 73 years things have not improved a lot. In the old days doctors and lawyers were honorable. In the old days there were decent Republicans like Eisenhower. 

 Do you want some good news? Actually many things in the world have improved. The number of people who can read is now at 80%. World health is better than most people realize. The standard of living for so many has improved. People fear socialism, but the countries that have adopted sharing are outperforming us on many fronts. 

Will Kadizzle make it to 80?  My older brother and sister have broken the barrier. Out of 9 children 6 are still breathing. Heart attacks took three. Kadizzle has not had any heart problems. What will the next years bring?  The Trump insanity is frightening, the dumbing down of the country is out of control, and it is looking like the planet may melt. Kadizzle may jump off this planet just in time. What are we leaving our children and grandchildren? Our selfish consumption of resources has left them a mess it will be hard to dig out of.  Science, education, and understanding history can bring hope, yet so many still cling to cults, religion, and mythology. Those are the things that got us into the current mess. Will we learn?

Off to see the magic snoochels

 First off, what is a snoochel? Long ago when the children were little we read them Dr. Seuss.  There were sneeches, on the beaches.  So we figured out kids were sneeches. Well if your kids jump in your bed and you have to snookle them. Then you are snookling a sneech.  Of course that would mean they are then snoochels. Hope you understand. 

Well, now Megan has two snoochels. Tomorrow granny, and gramps fly to New York to see the sneeches, or snoochels, or what ever. Quinny, and Evie are the little monkeys we watch every morning on facetime jumping around like wild monkeys. They are growing like weeds. Then there is the original snookler, Sylvie. Sylvie is exploding into a teenager. Whoa be unto her mom. Sylvie is taller than her mom already, and will probably be as tall as granpa in no time. 

Megan moved to a wonderful spot in the woods. So nice to have the kids grow up where they can explore outside. This morning we were just facetiming with Megan while she hiked near her house with Quinnie and Evie.  Being a grandpa is a good deal. 

In one day everything changed

 Kadizzle thought he knew two men very well. Well he didn't. One day at Kadizzle's kitchen table one of the men said " I could never vote for a black man".  Never again could Kadizzle see that man the same. Then one day Kadizzle saw a Trump flag in front of the other man's house. Never again could Kadizzle see that man the same. Both men seemed nice, friendly, normal. Strangely they were both very religious, far from Kadizzle's agnosticism. This has been the story of the Trump cult. People who you thought totally normal sucked in by insane ideas, and lies. We now live in a different world that is crumbling. Perhaps a nuclear bomb is needed to either eradicate or awaken a new world. 

Stupid people like simple explanations and solutions.

 Stupidity has blossomed. Trump showed us how to manipulate simple minded people, and he also showed what a good crop of the ignorant America has. Republicans have realizes the simple mined like dictators. The simple minded like the Pope, they like Trump, they like the idea of someone in charge. They like the idea of someone they think is smart doing their thinking for them. Simple people like explanations they can understand. Fox News makes it simple for the simple. Nothing is wrong with a dictator if he does what I like. Heather Cox Richardson writes today about the Republican agenda. It is frightening. However, it is based on all the hot buttons idiots love. Suppress everyone I disagree with. 

Canyon Hike

 Good morning Americans Kadizzle and the trial crew will hike up a very nice canyon today. Wet feet will go with us. You have to walk in the stream to ascend the canyon. 

Read a scary article about the Governor of Florida. He is trying to be worse than  Trump. Of course the Hoopleheads love it. We could have someone worse than Trump? Don't underestimate the Hoopleheads, there are a lot of them. A locust is a small insect, but enough locust can destroy a field. You sitting there being silent are the problem. Speak to every simple minded person you encounter. Your voice is a weapon, use it. The world is in peril and the meek are the problem. 

The Vastness

 Kadizzle hauled the trail crew way up and back into the wilderness. Often Kadizzle is despondent over urban sprawl, but then a ride deep into the wilderness is reassuring. There is a lot of wilderness in this country. In our new area you could go for thirty miles and hardly see a sign of humans. 

After hauling the crew to the top of the mountain, Kadizzle dropped the truck off at the bottom for the crew. Next Kadizzle mounted the ebike for a forty mile ebike ride back to the Earth Module. Rarely has Kadizzle just about depleted the battery, but the ride barely made it back home. One cannot help but notice all the trash along the road when riding a bike. What is wrong with the people who throw bottles and cans out the window of their car? Who do they thing will pick up their mess. You can bet the can throwers are all entitled Trump supporters. 

Dear Russian Friends

If you have been reading this blog for a long time you know many Russians were checking it out. Not sure if the Russians can still get on, but Kadizzle wants to send them a message. So here we go. Russians, sad to see what is happening in your country. Our country is approaching the same mess. We have a man named Donald Trump who admires Putin. Trump wants to be Putin and loves the idea you can just poison you opponents. Your country has massive resources, but too many are poor, same thing here. Your country is plagued by greedy people, same here. Once the greedy get plenty of money then they want more land, more countries, more control. Lying is Putin's best gambit, ditto Trump. Sleepy people who accept Putin and Trump are the problem. Lazy people who do not research the lies are the problem. The truth is deadly to Trump and Putin. Keep that in mind. Just as we must constantly do what we can to fight the dictatorship of Trump, you also have an obligation to fight for the future of your family. People need to step up before the dictators crush us all. 

We Need to Act

Nuclear war is no fun, but having your leg chewed off a little at a time is not much fun either. Putin realizes he can nibble at other countries unhindered. Why not nibble back. The United States should make up a story just a Putin did to save the Ukrainians. The U.S. should explain to Putin our country is going to establish a humanitarian corridor for aid and people to escape. If Russians attack the corridor we should respond. It is like CPR, you have to get oxygen to the heart. Waiting for the choke hold of sanctions to work will grind up a lot of people. 

The sun is struggling to come up. Today looks promising, sunny, warm and no wind. Spoiled, we are simply spoiled with good weather. Of course as the planet melts the weather may get worse, and then there is the drought. Those in the know say the southwest is in the worst drought in 1200 years. That brings us to water. Yesterday we visited an ancient Indian site. Those guys had a long hike for water. The water was two miles away, not like going over to the refrigerator and pushing a button. Humans have a unique ability to waste anything that is plentiful. Name another animal that waste like humans. Oil, waste it, coal burn it all, food, dump it. Wobbling around like Kadizzle we eat too much burn too much, bury too much. What does it bring us, disease, war, pollution.  The ants are smarter than we are, even the bees. They store stuff they will use later. They don't import stuffed animals from China. 

Spanish Ruins

The post below shows a youtube video of where we hiked today. It was indeed spectacular. Old Kadizzle lugged his lard up the steep climb. View was amazing.  

Doll Baby Ranch Trail to the Spanish Ruins Hike

Today's hike

Cliff is sitting at the end of the table waiting for his bagel. With Winky, and Cliff, Kadizzle will take a hike today. The hike will be to an Indian ruin, or an old Spanish town.  People don't seem to know what the ruin is.  The Spanish were in this part of the world pretty early. Long ago some copper miners from Globe told Kadizzle the Spanish or Mexicans used to come in the winter to mine gold in a little town they built in the mountains near Globe. There is some gold around there. 

The situation in Ukraine is insane. Hard to believe this would happen in modern times. Old Kadizzle has but so many years to breathe, but the young people, what about the young? What kind of world will we leave them? A mess, a damn mess. We have squandered the resources of the Earth. Stupidity has infested the country. The truth went out the door and people will believe anything. Religion trained people to believe anything. Name a religion that does not make up hocus pocus. We are children that never grow up. Santa Clause and Jesus are just to good to resist. 

 

Living without a phone

A thousand years ago people paid a dime for a phone conversation. If Kadizzle did the math the cost of a phone call now would be $20. Kadizzle does not use the phone much. Maybe it is time to get the phone for old folks. By forgetfulness Kadizzle left his phone at the Earth module while he was up at the mountain retreat. Five days with no phone, no problem. 

Making a permanent move is such a hassle. Changing addresses for credit cards, licenses, drivers license change, change the plates on the car and truck, and on and on. A new house means signing up for garbage, sewer, water, gas, electric. It means setting all those up to be paid every month. 

Cannot think of Putin without seeing Trump. Do the Trump cult people know what they are in for when Trump becomes Putin? 

There is a certain mindset of people who want to live under a dictatorship. How nice to be in the military where someone else decides everything for you. That wonderful feeling of orderliness taken to infinity. People who want predictability love dictators. Hard to believe some people think dictatorship is the way to go, it is just a matter of picking the right dictator. Look at England, they love the idea of a King or Queen. They fawn for the good old days of aristocracy. Way down south in the land of Dixie. For most of our lives we lived in a white dictatorship. Losing it and thinking Trump can save it. 

Working Class People

Kadizzle has always lived in two worlds.  Kadizzle has worked with coal miners, carpenters, welders, machinist, electricians, pipe fitters, and just about every trade. Kadizzle respects working people. In our new neighborhood houses are being built. The men who build them show up everyday at sunrise. They start work and work hard all day. The guys doing the cement work and laying the cinder blocks are breaking in two teenagers to the life. It is fun to see the boss teach them the trade. Today Kadizzle is going to cook them all hamburgers for lunch. 

Kadizzle has also lived in that world were people never did an honest days work. Kadizzle and Shanika had a debate about what work is. When you work you get dirty. When you work you hear cussing, and a lot of terms that show up no where else. Every trade has it's little sayings. If you go home and you are not tired, you didn't work. It has been a long time but Kadizzle has worked putting up hay, shoveling coal, clearing brush, digging ditches, drilling blast holes, pumping water, and most of the jobs involved a little sweat. 

Kadizzle thinks he can still work. With Winky we built some stone walls. The wall out front has stones weighing over 200lbs and it is six feet tall in places. There was some work involved. 

When you meet someone who has never worked it is soon evident. Kadizzle had to take the tires off of the bicycles of two grown men and replace the tires after they were repaired. Those guys were never around work.  Another guy called Kadizzle because he thought the dipstick fell into the engine of his Jeep. The poor guy did not know where the dipstick was. He was looking at the cap where you put the oil in. That guy never worked. Ask someone to level something and you will very quickly find out if they ever worked. Ask them what a stringline is or a screed.  If they don't know they never worked. 

Watch how people move things. Do they understand the basics of levers? You soon know where the person came from. Rich kids don't work unless they had damn good parents who made sure they had the experience. The strangest thing is people who get on a machine to exercise when they could get behind a machine like a lawn mower. 

Now Kadizzle does not like to lie to much. If he did he would be Trump, but the truth is work is something often to be avoided. Avoiding work takes thinking. That is another benefit of working you learn the skills to avoid it. There are logical ways to make less work. Watching the two teenagers Kadizzle has observed that after a day or two they don't show up. They need a break and a rest, they get sick. Work can cause sickness. Jaun and Danny show up everyday. They must have immunized against work sickness. 

Work is noble. You can look at something you built and always take pride. A lot of so called work involves no pride. Kadizzle can look back 50 years and see things he helped build. 

The most important thing is to learn to work with your brain. Your hands, your back and your knees will give out long before your brain does. 

Brain dead stupidity, a wonderful motorcycle ride

Old Kadizzle never learns. Too many times he has take off for a little motorcycle ride and ended up with way more than he bargained for. Yesterday was the classic case. The old man thought he would ride the paved road down to the East Verde river.  In no time he saw an interesting Forest Service road. Why not take a little challenge? So up the steep road he went with an I can do this attitude. Of course he did not have the equipment he needed to get out of a jam. The most important thing is communication. He did not have the satellite communicator, nor even his phone, brilliant. The next ingredient is to go just a little farther. On a motorcycle one must always think " maybe I can go down this, but can I come back up". If you cannot come back up you have to keep going down. Kadizzle just kept digging himself in deeper thinking well if he kept going the road would somewhere get back to a better road. More than once Kadizzle went down places that he felt he could not come up. Then he started to realize maybe the road did not end up in a good place. It began to appear that way. Deep in the wilderness he began to think about the possible disaster looming.  Unable to ride out on the motorcycle he would have to walk miles out of the forest. Then to make it worse he would have to go back with something and get the cycle. His worst scenario came to pass. At the farthest point the road just ended. There was no way out except back the way he came. Attempting to get out that way could easily lead to a broking motorcycle or a broken Kadizzle. One part of the road in particular was very bad. It was steep and had rocks the size of volleyballs. Kadizzle stopped at the bottom of the real challenge to think. One thing he could do was to move what rocks he could. After doing his best to make the road passable he mounted the steed. Picking a path is key to going up a bad hill. One rock can end the game. By the grace of the almighty Kadizzle made it up the worst part. Wow, what a relief. Kadizzle made it out of the forest. 

Now the question is, will Kadizzle learn anything? Hopefully. Rule number one. Don't go alone. Rule number two. Dress with gear to crash. Rule number three. Have communication. Rule number four. Realize you are an old man with limits. 

The thing that always gets both the Kadizzle in trouble is starting out on a mild adventure, and then going just a little farther, just a little farther. It has happened so many times. Always you think you are going to just do a little do da adventure so you don't take what you need. Next thing you know you are in a deep mess wishing you had brought a rope, a phone, or a map. That brings Kadizzle to admit one more huge failure. A map, figure out where in the hell you are going before you go. That was the major failure of the last motorcycle adventure. Kadizzle had no idea of where he was going. If he had consulted a map he would have seen the road went nowhere. Why do people build roads to nowhere. When you get to nowhere you find out. The road was probably originally put in to establish what in the west is called a tank. At the end of the road was a small pond. That is what the ranchers call a tank.  Well live and learn, and hopefully get smarter. 

Little Boxes

We all live in little boxes. We are less than insects in the universe. The planet is trying to shake us off. Humans are the cancer of the Earth. Our little machines spew toxic dust and fumes. We cut down, dig up, and kill everything we can. What do we do with all the trees, cotton, and steel. We make nonsense. Way too many clothes, cars, and water bottles. The trains chug across the continent carrying Chinese junk. Our garbage trucks haul the Chinese shiploads of junk to the landfill. All to quickly the animals and fish are disappearing. Decent people are disappearing, replaced by Trump robots. 

 Cheer up, the sun will be over the mountain in a few minutes. The dinosaurs were wiped out. Then we came. Who is next. Will they be this greedy, this stupid, this self centered, this warlike. Who knows, but the Earth is millions of years old and can heal on it's own time. 

Bathroom conference

 The world of coincidence seems impossible. As Shanika and Kadizzle headed in his urban diesel down from the mountain Kadizzle pointed out the land he thought the City of Payson should acquire from the Apache Tribe. Payson could swap some land and add land to the wonderful park they have in Green Valley. 

The other day when Kadizzle took another friend to the casino he decided to visit the Chief and discuss his idea. The Apache Chief has a delux office on the reservation next to the casino. While the friend was getting her pockets cleaned at the casino Kadizzle went to the tribal headquarters and asked to speak to the Chief. The Chief was tied up in a meeting, but his brother was sitting there and the receptionist said Kadizzle might talk to him. The brother seemed like a large lump of brown clay in a drug induced stupor and Kadizzle did not find that worthwhile. The receptionist summoned the secretary of the Chief. After some pleasantries Kadizzle said something about the Trump infestation in Payson. Shocked, Kadizzle almost passed out when the Chief's secretary said the tribe was for Trump. This is insane. It is like slaves supporting slavery.  Mrs. Secretary gave Kadizzle the run around and did not show much interest in accomplishing anything. 

Kadizzle left the tribal headquarters feeling there was something crooked about the whole Apache administration. It just had that mafia feel. 

So back to the trip down the mountain to take Shanika to the casino to get his pockets cleaned. At the casino Kadizzle went to the restroom. Entering the restroom he noticed the janitor's closet was open and there was a hundred dollar bill hanging on the door waiting to be stolen. The janitor was cleaning the restroom. Kadizzle engaged the janitor in the restroom mentioning the fake 100 dollar bill. Somehow the conversation continued. The janitor soon revealed he was the former tribal chairman and in essence the Chief.  Janitor had lost an election to the current crooked chief.  The janitor told me the FBI is investigating the current chief and his gang. We spoke for awhile and Kadizzle related how he had a Native American friend in North Dakota who he helped try to stamp out the tribal thievery going on there. 

As Kadizzle left the restroom he was bedazzled by the coincidence of meeting the former chief entirely by a chance encounter. Kadizzle was amazed about his intuition when he formally spoke to the secretary of the current Chief. 

The situation is tragic. Many Native Americans are living in dire poverty. Their main source of income whether it is oil or casinos is being misused by none other than the other tribal members. Since the tribes are sovereign nations it makes it very hard for the FBI to intervene. Top it all off with the close knit societies these people live in. In North Dakota Kadizzle heard from his Indian friend how the intimidation worked. In Arizona apparently the same game was going on.  When an Indian Tribe like the Apache tells you they admire Trump you have a major clue about their state of mind. 

Up on the mountain

 Morning is peaking over the peaks here in the mountains of Arizona. Rain is drizzling down. The world is awash in war, ignorance, and right wing greed. Perhaps this is all depressing, and distressing. None of it is necessary except the rain. Heather Cox Richardson who has become a celebrity with her take on history interviewed Biden. She had a very good comment on how we go through cycles where the rich steal everything. Like she mentioned we are in one of those cycles now. Usually some good leader comes along and tries to fix the mess. Will it happen this time or will we sink into a world dictatorship? Republicans are about nothing but protecting the rich from taxes. That's it.  Republican don't care how many suffer, how many die, or if the planet burns to the ground, all they want is everything, and the ability not to share it. Try as he may Kadizzle cannot see Republicans as anything but sophisticated vermin. Eisenhower was the last decent Republican, the rest have been thieving scoundrels for the wealthy. The total refusal of the Republicans to tax the rich is driving our country to destruction. You can fly all the flags you want, sing any song, or dance any dance, but it will not cover up the simple reality that Republicans have made slaves of the working man. 

They are dropping

The familiar face of an old friend appeared on facebook. Unfortunately he died. On to the next world he has gone. We used to play handball together. He had heart problems. At 68 he checked out. Getting old is scary. The list of friends who cashed in grows longer. Surely Kadizzle's time will come. 

Kadizzle more than likely has more Republican friends than Democrats. Of course Kadizzle is a flaming liberal, but the sense is the Republican Party is slowly crumbling, a sign of hope. In secret the Republicans admit they know better than the Trump nonsense, yet harvesting the votes of the Hoopleheads is just to easy. All you have to do is say a few magic stupid things and the Hoopleheads will follow you. What is helping destroy the Republicans is the idea that being more goofy than the next guy is the way to go. Hoeven in North Dakota has tried to kiss Trump's ass, but a guy to the right of him has gone even farther. 

The Ukraine mess has brought out just how dangerous pandering to Trump is. Putin has to love Trump and what he has done to our country. 

 

What next

 

The featured picture is from our trip yesterday to the world's largest travertine natural bridge. As usual you cannot get the scope of how big this thing is. There is a park and parking lot on top of this tunnel. 

Waking up in the middle of the night Kadizzle watched a youtube video about a guy who deliberately crashed his plane. He parachuted out. His idea was to convince people it was a dramatic real thing he did. Another pilot I like to watch pointed out how he was not honest and could have probably saved the plane. 

Here we sit, Dina and Kadizzle at the temporary dinner table. Shanika had low blood sugar last night and it was a bit of a crises. Kadizzle had to run to his car in the driveway to get him a coke. Kadizzle was in his underwear. Fortunately there are no neighbors to wonder what was going on. 

Old White men like dictators

 Who supports Putin in Russia? It is the old people. Who supports Trump in our country? Yup, the old goats. Oh the good old days. The good old days of stability, segregation, and white dominance. In Russia the old people remember communism. They did not have much, but it was reliable. In our country the good old days may have been better. Then we had respectable intelligent presidents. Now, we have old Trump trying his best to establish a dictatorship. 

Here we are waking up for another nice day in the mountains of Arizona. Yesterday Dina and Kadizzle took a trip to a natural bridge near Payson. Kadizzle was amazed. Winky said it was spectacular, but Kadizzle did not think it would amount to much. Wow, he was wrong. Somehow the stream got under the ground in a deep canyon and made an amazing natural bridge. The shear size of the thing was mind boggling. Dina has a problem with heights and could not look down as we drove along a cliff road. We may go to the North Dakota picnic in Arizona. Not sure how a flaming liberal will go over with the Trumpers. 

The World is stranger than you think.

Awakened this morning and had coffee with Dina, our guest from North Dakota. Somehow we got on the subject of Albert Einstein quotes. The favorite quote Kadizzle likes is " The world is not stranger than you think, it is stranger than you can think". The situation in Ukraine certainly fits that description.  In a world of abundance why do we have war? Ego gone wild brought us Trump, and now Putin. Men obsessed with insanity causing death and destruction. Makes no sense. 

Winky got up early and went down to the Earth Module to work with the trail crew. Kadizzle will stay up at the ranch and entertain Dina. 

Wow, Kadizzle had to relearn an old lesson. Do not prejudge anything. Kadizzle has a strange scheme for Payson. Kadizzle wants to get some land in the middle of Payson which the Apaches happen to own. Why the Tribe has about three or four acres next to the city park is a mystery, but that is the case. With a little time on his hand Kadizzle stopped at the headquarters of the Tribe. The idea was to negotiate a trade with the city for the land so the city could add the land to the current park. Kadizzle engaged the Chief's secretary in a conversation to accomplish the goal. This is where things blew up. Kadizzle assumed the tribe would be democratic and anti Trump. Well that turned out to be a bomb. Mrs. Secretary quickly told old Kadizzle the Tribe favored Trump. Things went downhill from there. Maybe Kadizzle forgot his history, but the Apaches did have a lot of Trump like characteristics. They were not originally in the southwest. The Apaches bullied their way into the southwest and took over a lot of other more peaceful tribes. The Apaches were hunters and nomads. Most of the tribes in the southwest were peaceful farmers. In the end Kadizzle basically realized the Apaches were not on real good terms with the City of Payson and the entire project was going nowhere.
