Green Valley Park in Payson | Drone Zone The Park down below Kadizzle's new home

Biden's batteries are dead.

You got a flat tire, do you patch it or put a new tire on the car? If the flat tire is bald just get a new tire.  Democrats have to save the country from the orange snollygoster.  Have the convention and get someone new and young to fight the snollygoster. It is that simple. If Biden is 81 what will 82 and 83 be like? Kadizzle is 75 and the brain is fizzling. Old is like a glacier it moves.  Trump is mentally ill, Biden is old. Neither should be the brain power for our country.  

Our Country is gone

At 75 Kadizzle has lived long enough to see a lot of countries implode. The United States is next. A national game of Dare to be Stupid is going to happen. Hoopleheads thrive on stupidity, and Trump is selling it by the truckload. The only hope was Democrats could bust through the cult fog. Kadizzle is convinced it is not going to happen. Ignorance is just to plentiful and easy. If only Biden would get out of the way, but it is too late, instead we are going to have a lunatic. Biden is old, Trump is mentally ill, immoral, and a living disaster. The Hoopleheads can understand a good clown show, and Trump is a master clown. What clowns do and say makes no difference, the Hooples want a show. Juggling accomplishes nothing, but it does entertain. Trump will juggle the tax code to enrich the rich. 

Here is the prediction. Trump will win the election, the economy will be jazzed for about six months, then the crash. The worst crash since the depression. Chaos, lots of chaos.  The country will experience a complete meltdown. 

Where are we? It happens in every town. Some parent thinks they can give a bunch of teen agers a keg of beer and it will turn out all right with the proper supervision. Trump is the teenager that will derail the Hoopleheads. Why don't we burn up the picnic table, it will keep us warm? That will be Trump's approach to the tax code. Why not juice the economy by giving the rich more? Trump will gulf while the picnic table burns. The Hooples will drink until drunk, dance around the fire, and wake up in the morning to find out they are broke with no hope. What then?

Wizard

Last evening Bob and Mary invited us over for a round of Wizard. Bob loves the card game and usually wins. In our new home we are blessed with good neighbors. Not everyone is on the same political pagek, but we make it work. BSing with Greg in his garage is great, and Greg walks Rita the dog by every day for another round of stories and lies. We have a professional artist, and a good amature artist.  Just about everyone is old, but we do have a couple of younger couples. A lot of dog walking goes on, and each dog has it's own personality. 

Good neighbors are a blessing. Everyone is getting their new yards up to par, and some of the women are taking landscaping serious. To the Northwest of us we are going to be bordered by three more expensive larger homes with more acreage.  That is working out well. It gives us some breathing room, improves the view and the people moving in are great. 

Moving from Hazen to Payson was like changing clothes.  In Payson we have met so many nice people. The landscape is so much more exciting.  We are up against the national forest, and hiking and bike riding are just across the street. Below us is Green Valley Park, a wonderful city park with music on Saturday nights, lots of festivals, and three wonderful little lakes full of fish. 

For better or worse Kadizzle is up to his bunghole in politics here. Trying to keep the Hoopleheads from destroying the town is a battle, but the tide seems to be in our favor. The Hooples are old busted flat goats that don't want to change or pay taxes. The Hooples are for nothing and against everything.  

An obsessed simple minded Hooplehead.

 Get over it. Some simple minded hooplehead claims Kadizzle wanted to pour gasoline on Republicans and set fire to them. Don't ever recall writing or saying such a thing, but it is not impossible. Any sane person would realize it was an exaggeration. However the Hooplehead acts like it was a life goal. Kadizzle has made some outrageous statements thinking the people reading or hearing them were smart enough to realize it was just a joke, or an exageration. Dear Hoople do you ever think Kadizzle would pour gas on someone and light it. That is ridiculous. Now you might ask, " Does Kadizzle wish Donald Trump would get cancer of the bung hole?".  Yes, wishing for something and doing it or making it happen are two different things. A normal person can realize the difference. Hooples are not to sophisticated and take things literally that are not written or spoken in that manner. Hooples are like little children, they cannot desern between fantasy and reality. That is why they like Trump. 

KEEP THE RULE IN MIND

WANT TO COMMENT, FINE. HOWEVER, IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE COURAGE TO PUT YOUR NAME TO IT, GOODBY. IT WILL BE DELETED.  

A Gathering of Hoopleheads.

What if could see every delusional Hooplehead in one place? Last evening that happened like flies to jelly the worst of the worst wandered into the high school auditorium. Candidates for the town council were going to present their version of reality. There was Steve Otto the Grouch, and The Payson Guy, along with the other tear it down crowd. The meeting was sparsely attended. Seems like most of the town is content with the current town council which is doing a great job. The Hooples of course explained how they would fix everything without a way to pay for anything. It was the usual bitching by the aristocracy of the Hooples. It is one thing to bitch, and another thing to actually move the town forward. 

Kadizzle got to speak with Shirley. Shirley is a nice older woman caught deep in the fog of the Tea Party. It was fun explaining to Shirley how at the Donuts with Democrats meeting everyone is welcome and gets to hold he microphone and speak. On the other hand the Tea Party has thugs at the door to make sure no discontent comes in the door. At the Tea Party you will be threatened with police action if you go against the party line. Shirley said she did not agree, but that was what the tea party crew wanted. Shirley said people at the Tea Party threatened not to attend if General Donut was allowed to speak. Kasdizzle invited Shirley to the Donuts meeting. Kadizzle said if anyone objected and threatened not to come then let them stay home. The contrast between a real free speech meeting and the Tea Party Nazis is stunning and putting right in front of Shirley was a pleasure. 

How the US Is Destroying Young People’s Future | Scott Galloway | TED

One too many mornings and a thousand miles behind

Well it is Monday morning. Does it get any better? Sitting on the deck in our cat bird seats. Over there the rim, the mountains. Sipping coffee, watching the birds. We got it made, we are alive, healthy, have wonderful children, with great husbands, and kids. Does it get any better. Wish everyone could have it as nice. That is the problem, the people who took too much. Maybe that is us.  From the crossroads of my doorstep my eyes start to fade. The temperature is just about perfect. There may be some rain today, desperately needed. You right from your side and I am right from mine. It is just one more Monday morning and a thousand miles behind. 

Ok, you got an assignment. Watch this ted talkhttps://youtu.be/qEJ4hkpQW8E?si=ePhVTPyKwXvMYV3w

This guy sums up the problem and the solution. 

Pipe Dream (Animusic) - Remastered 4K 60FPS

Absolutely Wonderful

 Imagine being in a room of thirty people, all intelligent, and not a single Hooplehead in he midst. That was the Donut meeting yesterday. Are we doomed with Trump? Hope, that is what the meeting brings. People with vision who can see the evil of the cult. Most wonderful were the new faces, even better the sensible Republicans. Just knowing there are people out of the fog, watching real news, and reading real information. Just knowing there are normal people feels so good. This will be an active week. Things are heating up and the good versus evil battle is starting. Trump represents all that is wrong with humans, greed, hate, lying, and delusion. Will the good coalesce and win, or will the good sit back and do nothing? Hope, hope, hope, that is all we have. Around the world it is the same story. In too many countries dictators are playing to the ignorant, the racist, and he nationalist. It could end badly. With nuclear weapons in the hands of someone like Trump imagine the danger. We have to win. 

Be There

At 10:00 A.M. the Donut Army will meet on Bonita Street at Democratic headquarters. Our country is on the verge of disaster. Donald Trump is as close to being a dictator as you can get. Stupidity has infected the masses of idiots in the Republican Party. Our country is in peril. That is the bad news.  

The good news is our group is growing. Maybe reality is infecting people. There is nothing good about Trump. He is an evil psychopath bent on destroying out democracy. Trump's supporters have the mind of teenagers. The Trump gang lives on chaos, and lies. Greed drives the Republicans wild. Billionairs support Trump to get every inch of tax cuts they can. 

Kadizzle lived in North Dakota for forty years. Dough Burgum is a sycophant trying to be vice president for Trump. What a shameful disgrace for North Dakota.  

If you don't get off your ass and fight the Hoopleheads you will get to see our country become Nazi Germany. Get with people where you live.  Do something. Talk to people. Pull them out of the fog. 

Living on dreams isn't easy

Here we go one more time, the coffee is ready, the molecules are moving, the sun has managed to climb above the horizon. We are fortunate, the food is plentiful, and our health is good. Maybe we should bitch about the heat. It is going to get hot. The lapse rate is what saves us. What in the hell is the lapse rate? For every thousand feet of elevation you lose two degrees of temperature. So that means at five thousand feet we lose ten degrees. In reality it means Payson is about ten degrees cooler than Phoenix. That is a good thing. 

The Hoopleheads want disaster, and according to the New York Times the simple minded are giving the Trump gang money. How does brain dead work. Saw a sign said we should work on natural stupidity rather than artificial intelligence. 

The Storm

 It spit a little rain with very high winds. We can always use rain here. It has been a day of paper work. Insurance, and setting up a trust took up most of the day. In about an hour the gambling will start. The casino will have the one armed vacuum cleaners sucking the money out of he elderlies pockets. 

For some reason Kadizzle has been optimistic lately about putting the Trump gang to rest. North Dakota was kind of enlightening. The Trump rallies fizzled, that is a goo sign. How long can you be stupid? In Payson we have a group of cavemen that want to take the town backwards. A bunch of cheap asses that never saved for retirement want to punish everyone that did. 

The neighborhood is coming together. Two more houses to complete on the main street. Now we have about 12 houses done. Life is good up here on the hill. Old Kadizzle harvested 21 golf balls yesterday and the bin is almost full. 

On our trip to North Dakota Kadizzle invited everyone and their grandmother to Payson. Maybe someone will take up the offer. 

One thing that surprised Kadizzle on the northward jaunt was the number of people that read this nonsense. Two groups read this insanity. First are people we somehow have a connection with, and then there is the second group that is in the hundreds. That group must be people that somehow run across this blog. 954 people in Hong Kong are reading this blog, and 45 people in Israel. If you are one of those people please comment. We have 13 in China, and 13 in France. Russia has dropped down to one and the U.S. is up to 514. Surely most of these people accidently came across this nonsense. However, if you are from another country comment on how and why you came across Kadizzle. 

Here we are

Back in the mountains of Arizona. Three entirely different planets. Visiting New York, North Dakota, and home to Arizona.  Such different places, such different lifestyles. In New York the people were suffering from acute prosperity. North Dakota suffered very little poverty, however here in Arizona there are plenty of people on the edge. The Donuts with Democrats group has a somewhat similar group in Bismarck, ND.  Things seem to be going our way.  People seem to be awakening toward the problem the Hoopleheads have created. Turn outs for Trump rallies have been pathetic. Maybe there is hope. The Donut Army has been doing well. General Donut says we have been asked to join forces with normal people. 

Winky says she is happy to be back here in the mountains of AZ.  These mountains do have their virtues, uncrowded, varied, and the fact that it all is national forest. Bismarck, ND,  is sprawling on the prairie. However, one realizes the prairie is a blank. Had it not been for the wonderful sailing there we would never have stayed so long. Our old town of Hazen, ND is a prosperous ghost town. The main street is empty, but everyone lives well. Our old home has been neglected and the the people who moved in are unfriendly hermits. 

We have been busy setting up a trust for the children, so we can die at our leisure anytime we want. 

What are the odds

 Kadizzle is at a restaurant on the Missouri River in Mandan North Dakota. A man walks in with a life jacket on. The man is paddling the Missouri on the Lewis and Clark trail. We strike up a conversation and very quickly discover he is using Dave Miller’s book as a guide. The book mentions Mike Quinn’s encounter with Dave Miller years ago when Kadizzle got Miller off the lake before a storm. What are the chances of Quinn being in North Dakota at 12:30 on the Missouri and meeting a man who read about him yesterday?

Donut Success

 Checking in with General Donut Kadizzle has been getting some good news. Attendance is way up. Maybe we got the Hoopleheads on the run. The Trump threat is real. Kadizzle is in North Dakota for a celebration of two friends that passed. A man Kadizzle used to work with had the temerity to show up at a memorial gathering with a Trump hat on. Kadizzle wanted to comment to him about his mental illness but managed to restrain himself.

Prairie Thunderstorms

 A thunderstorm on the prairie is special. You get to see it unlike any where else. If you live here all your life it is normal but it is special. Another joy on the prairie is the peace and quiet. Sleeping is wonderful. Summers are the crown jewel of North Dakota. We miss the sailing the most. Hard to believe but North Dakota has the best sailing in North America. 

Thank you

 Here we are in North Dakota making a strange discovery. A few people here admitted that they read this nonsense. Great to know someone reads this drivel. Sometimes old Kadizzle will think he is telling someone something new only to find they read it here. Well thanks to the people in Mercer county that tune in. 

A room full of old people

 Honoring Chuck and Dave we walked into a room full of old people. Wait, we are old people. Everyone aged, bellies bloomed on most of us. Some were hard to recognize. Sadly Chuck and Dave cashed in. Each of us is in line. In Harvey’s barn we sang and told stories. Time is taking its toll. Who is next? Get in line. 

Not much has changed in North Dakota. Summers can’t be beat in North Dakota. Our old town of Hazen is a ghost town. Our old house is occupied by people neglecting it. The old neighbors are doing well. So life goes on.

How do you remember?

 Clean, sparkling clean. North Dakota is so orderly compared to Payson. The old Germans keep things neat compared to the slum warriors in Arizona. Kadizzle used to have issues with the slummers in Hazen, but now he realizes they are amateur compared to AZ slummers. Even the bad bum shunklers in ND are better than the chain link fence rats in AZ. In AZ the slum warriors fill the yard with trash and then put a nasty chain link fence around it, as if someone might break in and clean it up. 

One More Planet

 We stepped off the plane onto planet Dakota. This planet is so different from what we left. Tonight we stay in our old friends house near Stanton. Summers North Dakota can’t be improved on. It will take forever for the sun to go down. Ray’s home is in a magnificent setting and we look forward to a wonderful country evening.

Off to North Dakota.

Two good friends died within a day or two in North Dakota. Winky and Kadizzle will go to North Dakota to honor them. Chuck and Dave were dear friends. Many warm days were spent on the porch of Dave's wonderful home in the country. Our kids grew up together. Dave and Kathy were our first neighbors ever in North Dakota. Many holiday dinners were shared as were many task. The memories go on forever. 

Chuck was about as unique as one could get. Our adventures together were many.  Kadizzle flew in a plane, and a hot air balloon with Chuck. Chuck and Kadizzle sailed and won races together. Chuck was a guy who always said yes when you said adventure. We rode motorcycles to the west coast and sailed to the Canadian border.  

Both will be missed and leave a big hole in our lives. 

Pig Farmers in North Dakota

Awhile back browsing facebook an article by Rob Port appeared. Some pig farmer in North Dakota commented on the article and took offense that Rob Port was attacking the Trump cult. So it was a back and forth with the pig farmers in North Dakota. The pig farmers did what all Republicans do when they get cornered with the truth. Gabe searched the internet to dig up dirt on Kadizzle. Strangely that is exactly what Gary Morris the local Republican hack did. What Gabe and Gary Morris did was blow my encounter with Senator Kevin Cramer into a series of exaggerations and lies. Like Fox News they tell part of a story and sprinkle in all the lies they need to make it suit their needs. One amazing thing about all these people in Arizona, and North Dakota is they will not encounter Kadizzle one on one with their lying. They know they are lying, but they cannot come to grips with the fact they have been sucked into the Trump cult. Once in the cult you cannot get out. Doug Burgum the Governor of North Dakota wants to be Trump's vice president, Burgum has disgraced himself by joining up with the pig farmers and the cult. 

The truth no longer matters. Like George said on Seinfeld, " If you believe it, it is true".  When you corner the pig farmers with logic they resort to obscenities. Annie is one of the pig farmers. Annie cannot deal with logic, so she just cusses. 

Trying to figure out how cult minds work is a puzzle. These people have gone into a vortex of their own special world that believes any lie Trump shoots out. Dealing with them is an experience just to see how they can wiggle to stay away from facts. 

Donuts with Democrats Today

It is working, the rational Republicans are coming to our side. Today will be a test. Democrats will host speakers and a picnic at the park today at 11.  If the crowd picks up a little it will be a good sign of progress. Trump losing in court has helped people awaken from the fog. Will the tide turn? If Trump wins we will be living in a full blown banana republic. Kadizzle would like to leave and go to New Zealand if Trump wins and proceeds to destroy the country, but the children are here. The rich will do well for a short time under Trump then the whole thing will blow up. People are great at ignoring reality. That is how climate change will destroy us. Just pretend like it will go away. Same with Trump, just ignore him and let the cult win.  

Nirvana

Awakening is like rising from the dead. Winky has brewed extra coffee since her brother Ben his here. Airlines are extremely crowed and just the least little interruption and there is a problem. It took Ben two days to get from Richmond to Phoenix. Wandering out on our wrap around porch in the morning is a joy. To sit and see the magnificent mountains is such a pleasure as one sips the coffee. 

Things seem great, but humans are destroying the planet. In two days we made two trips to Phoenix and back. Planes in line to fight the forest fire tell the entire story. The planet is burning up. As humans we just don't notice. We just don't notice the level of stupidity we have achieved. Donald Trump might become president. Imagine that. People claim all this silly religious stuff and then claim they will vote for Jesus Trump. Last night Kadizzle went to the casino with Ben. Idiots were there by the hundreds pouring their retirement into slot machines. 

Trump has proven people love fantasy, and being lied to. That is the story at the casino. Razzle dazzle and idiot and you can make them dance while they hand you money. Trump gets convicted and idiots sent him millions. Is that scary? People want to pay for the country to fail. 

Saving the sunshine

Kadizzle is a bit fascinated with solar power. Bill gave Kadizzle a big solar panel and it had to be used for something. In a fit of insanity Kadizzle rigged up the panel to light up a corner of the estate. The reality is the light serves no real purpose and actually goes against the dark sky philosophy of Payson.  However, sun on the ground is like fruit on the tree that has never been picked. At some point humans will become reasonable about the use of energy. We waste an incredible amount of energy, and fail to harvest a bundle. The fact that you can soak up sunshine and store until nightfall is something to think about. 

Four of a kind

Each does exactly the same thing. There are three dishonest Republicans in Payson, Arizona.  Gary Morris, Michael Heather, and Steve Otto all have taken a page from the Trump playbook. Add to that one guy named Gabe in North Dakota. Each of these rats does exactly the same thing. In my case they searched the internet to find dirt on Kadizzle. Gary Morris even searched my old facebook post. Once they find something they can lie about they are off to the game of character assassination. Gary Morris found an old sarcastic post on facebook with Kadizzle wearing a Trump hat. Morris spun a lie from that post that Kadizzle had a handgun. In a sarcastic statement Kadizzle said he was cleaning his handgun. It is a gun that never existed. It was poetic license. Gary Morris blew that up into a strange story that Kadizzle was a threat to an old lady. 

Now if you are a dirt digger like each of these guys is, you come across my run in with Senator Cramer from North Dakota. Gary Morris took this one and ran with it. Gary Morris parlayed that story into an amazing lie. It would take a page to go through it. 

Now this guy Gabe in ND built on the lie Gary Morris set up. Steve Otto played the same game. All four of these guys never mention the part about the Cramer story that Kadizzle was trying to help a woman with a disabled child. 

Now for the dinger. When you confront each of these guys they run. Gary Morris will not speak about his lying, same with Michael Heather, and Steve Otto.  Gabe in North Dakota is exactly the same. No way in hell are you going to tell these guys the truth of what actually happened. Kadizzle has offered each one of them a debate in front of the Tea Party to discuss the lying. Nope, ain't going to happen. Most amazing is they all play the same game. It is like the Trump gang. Trump is an angel, he is just being victimized by Democrats. 

We returned from Planet A to Planet B

Two completely different worlds in every regard. Winky and Kadizzle stepped off the plane in Phoenix about two hours ago. We came from the forested wet jungle in New York about 35 miles North west of New York City. Making the transition from eastern forest to western desert was stunning. Next  you have the social transition from a land with no poverty, no dirt, no Trump signs, and people dying from acute prosperity, to a land of redneck Trumpers living behind a chain-link fence in a trailer. 

The forested jungle was cool and lush. On the way back to Payson there was a thousand acre forest fire, or more like desert fire. We spent  week in the forest. Two different worlds. Kadizzle grew up in he Eastern forest, but it has been many years since he was there in the lush spring. The sleeping was absolutely wonderful. Moist air, and sea lever meant you did not even need to breath the oxygen rich air seemed to go in and out of your lungs by itself. 

Now for a bit of very good news. The Donut General reported an amazing turn out today at the Donut meeting. Best of all young people showed up. The place was packed, why? Perhaps the orange rat being found guilty woke people up. If next week turns out this good we must have the Hoopleheads on the run.
