After a 700 mile drive grandpa was astonished to see how tall Sylvie is . She has popped up like a garden weed. Sylvie is taller than grandma, and her mom. Quickly she will be as tall as grandpa. Hard to believe that little pumpkin is now a towering pretty girl. For her birthday she broke her wrist in a soccer game. A little run in with the goal keeper.
The excitement of the drive was going through Las Vegas, New Mexico. The raging forest fire was just about overtaking the town from the west. The smoke was incredible. The climate deniers are just like the Trump cult. The planet is in peril. Once you see it, denying it is not easy.
Here we sit in Denver. Erin lives in Stapleton. This is where the old airport used to be. Now square miles of airport have become square miles of homes and businesses. The pace of development is insane.
No one ever considers what any area can comfortably sustain. Kadizzle always thinks of it as a bunch of cigar smokers. How many people can smoke a cigar in a room? Only a fool would say the number is infinite, but that is capitalism. You know the answer when people start to drop over dead. Insane consumption is our hall mark.
Just a few minutes ago Kadizzle went to the cabinet to get a cup for coffee. In Erin's cabinet there were about twenty of those water bottles that everyone gives away. Billions of the damn things have been made. Every thrift store has hundreds. So it goes. Ship loads of crap come from China, last in a home for a week or two and go to the dump. In Arizona you can see several mountains made from garbage. Back in the little town of Hazen, North Dakota the dump grows a an incredible rate. Recycling is pretty much a joke. Very little gets reused. If the old system of bottle deposits was in use imagine the savings.
As a society we have collectively lost our minds. Erin just lectured grandpa on the terrible crime problem in her luxury neighborhood. At night the peasants come rob the well to do. Poverty is now the hallmark of capitalism. Erin said the tent people have been forced out of downtown and now live along the bike path. According to Erin the bike path to downtown is not safe. Erin said a bum put a trip wire across the path and robbed a bicyclist. When Ellon Mush uses billions to ride a rocket to space someone on the other end of the game has to live in a tent. Pure unadulterated insanity. Wealth uncontrolled creates poverty. Prove me wrong. Look at any time in history where the top took too much and you will see the bottom living in squalor. Slavery was a classic case. Yet, Republicans say the answer is give the rich more. Can we be this stupid?
