Internet blowed up

No internet, so the phone is providing service. 12 power poles were blown down in the wind they say. How are we to stay up to date?

Some rain fell, about enough to put out a small match. Kadizzle and Winky have been frugal for our entire marriage, but the money is flooding out this year. The stock market has hammered us and we have spent a fortune of furniture and landscaping. When we left Hazen we got rid of all our furniture. Sell low, buy high is our new motto. Today we go to Phoenix to pick up furniture for the new patio.  We are doing our part to stimulate inflation and the economy. 

Kadizzle made his final bike ride down the hill last night. We have come to really love the park at the bottom of the hill. On Saturdays they have an evening music presentation. It was well attended for a rainy evening. The park is the gem of the town. People use it, dog walkers, model boat sailors, and fishermen, yes the fishermen.  For three tiny lakes there are always people fishing. The state must stock the lakes abundantly. It is wonderful to see the little kids fish. People are friendly and conversations are struck up all the time. The park gets used. It is great to see. One of Kadizzle's schemes is to expand the park. 

The supreme court is now meaningless. It is just a tool of the political hacks. If you watched the Jan 6th hearings you know morality is mostly gone. Thank ya Jeeeesus a few of the Trump people turned on the rat or he would already be King. Your typical dinger walking down mainstreet with a bone in their nose has no conception of how the government is supposed to work. Kadizzle has written it before, but the tsunami of ignorance that hit the country will be our demise. 

What does prosperity do to people? Mental destruction is the answer. Kadizzle grew up in a house surrounded by doctors homes. That meant all the children of the doctors were our playmates. 90% of the well to do children turned out to be duds. They never learned to think critically. A lot of them went to private schools, failure again. Kadizzle grew up hard scrabble style and he at least learned some street smarts. No one handed out money, you had to work for it, a great early lesson. With nine kids in the family sharing was a way of life. Existing meant you had to learn social skills early. Maybe a little bragging, but out of the nine children 8 had college degrees, two became lawyers, four went on to graduate school, and all became financially secure, but one. One flame out among nine not bad. Three of the nine were key players in building parks in their community. Just about every brother and sister became politically active. Of the nine three went on to the land above. Strangely we are not dying in order. The three oldest are still kicking, lost my younger brother and two older sisters. The clock is ticking.
