The Engine Room

 The old house in Hazen had an engine room. The new house in Payson has a nicer engine room. What is an engine room in a house? Everyone needs somewhere to escape, and that is what an engine room is for. The engine room has a nice desk top computer, a good music system, and now the new engine room has a flat screen TV. When the world closes in on you go to the engine room, close the door, turn on the music and get lost. 

The new engine room has a nice couch that turns into a bed. The old engine room had a futon. Engine rooms are spare bedrooms for when Shanika comes. He usually sleeps in the engine room. Winky usually leaves stuff alone in the engine room, so you don't have to search for things. 

Engine rooms are wonderful in the morning. With a cup of coffee you can wobble into the engine room and catch up on the world. The engine room is where you get up to date. In the engine room you check the Bismarck Tribune, The New York Times, NPR, The Fargo Forum, and now the Payson Roundup. Naturally you have to check for the simple minded on facebook. The BBC can be good. Oh of course you have to see if Jesus is stealing your money on the stock market. On some days Jesus steals the money, on some days he gives it back. If you believe in Jesus things become less complicated. Just attribute everything to Jesus. For instance Kadizzle might just say " I wonder what Jesus wants me to have for breakfast".  Yesterday Jesus said to have pancakes. If you really believe in religion you know Jesus and God control everything. So why not just let them run  the show? When Kadizzle is asked by Winky "Will you take the garbage out?".   Kadizzle can just answer, let me see what Jesus wants. So if the garbage goes out, it is the will of Jesus. If the garbage stays in it is the will of Jesus. Does it get any better?  Turn you life over to Jesus and vote for Trump. Life is good.
