Winky likes to make fun of the "Go Bag", but it saved the day or night. Kadizzle was out of socks, underwear, and a T shirt, but the go bag had em. The go bag is a large bag full of things that might get you out of a bind, like staying an extra day in the White Mountains. The go back has some food, small cook stove, army rations, and various devices, that could come in handy.
Yesterday was a five mile forced hike by Winky, today will be the same and then back to the ranch. Sleeping here is excellent, no noise, light or other disturbance, and the nights cool down.
Reading the NYT today the world is in complete chaos. Inflation, gun nuts, Trump cult, and on it goes.
For the beginning of summer there seems to be a lack of people out and about. Fuel prices must be slowing things down. It is dry, could hardly be more dry. Arizona is waiting for the monsoons. Things are exceedingly ripe for forest fires. The whole state could go up in flames.
Amazing thing about humans is their ability to ignore reality. Until your own house is burning down, bombed, or your child is shot who cares. Facts are a thing of the past and we are living in the world of" If you believe it, it is true". Make up your own science, election results, or medicine. Strangely there has always been this make believe among us, it was religion. Religion was a system where you just believed what you wanted. Now that idea has spread across society. Trump showed us you can just make up a lie, toss it out there and let it grow. Of course churches early on learned you could make money inventing stories for people to believe. Why not do it with the economy, politics, and every day life?
