Life in America
The coffee has been poured. The update is in progress. Right now we are reviewing all the comedians cutting up Trump. Trump's insanity has been a gold mine for comedians. Trump is so clueless in so many areas. Trump with his tariff threats managed to tank the stock market. Thinking this man could cause a nuclear war with one moment of his insanity is frightening. One of the most amazing aspects of Trump is that people still believe in his nonsense. Kadizzzle has asked Trump supporters if they are still with him. A favorite response is " He is doing exactly what he said he would". In other words he is as bat shit crazy as people thought and that is great. The soap opera at the White House has become a fire-drill with people running for the exits. Saddest of all is what Trump is doing to our children. Good years when our country could be going forward we have a president golfing and having a twitter fight with comedians. Every day it gets worse. Now there are indications Russia has been using the NRA to help Trump. Imagine school children killed with the help of the same NRA that supports Trump. The Russians are having so much fun with the idiot we have made president.

A nice motorcycle ride
On the trusty Yamaha steed Kadizzle flew down the road to Peter Bigfoot's ranch. Remember when Kadizzile put Alex the lost soul from the Arizona Trail into the custody of Peter Bigfoot? Well Kadizzle had to go to the orphanage to see how Alex was doing in his new environment. The news was very good. Bigfoot said Alex fit in great, and Alex said his mental health was much better and he was making some progress in healing his body. As Kadizzle meandered down the trail to the Bigfoot compound he noticed Alex's tent pitched beside the road. The peace and tranquility of the valley that Bigfoot occupies would calm anyone.
After the brief visit at Bigfoots Kadizzle rode up one of his favorite mountain roads. On the way back there she was Mrs. Kadizzle pushing her bike up the road. The Kadizzles set out to find the origin the water at the water tank nearby. Up the mountain and into the thick brush we finally managed to find out where the water was coming from. Water just coming up out of the ground and flowing freely is so important in the desert. The ranchers rely so heavily on springs that they go to great lengths to pump the water amazing heights and distances.

Generation Gap
Last night the Kadizzles went to a coming and going party. The same party was welcoming new employees to the local division of the Forest Service, and also saying goodby to some people leaving for other locations.
By Kadizzle standards it was all young people except the Kadizzles and one other person in the senior bracket. Soon we were engaged in a party game. The Kadizzles managed to hold their own with the youngsters but it was a strange mix. Most of the young people were under thirty or right around that age. Most of the time you do not reflect on the fact that older people mostly socialize with older people and of course the young stay amongst the young, so it was an interesting mix.
The card game revolved around trying to guess what would appeal to other peoples sense of humor. The game did give some insight into how people think. One thing clearly came out. Younger people are much more accepting of a new view on society. The young are not as boxed in as the old white people that are so abundant in our country.
Another revelation was learning how intelligent people are. Most of the people in the group we had only met on a very causal basis, just passing by and saying hello or something. Playing the card game gave a sense that most of these people were better educated and more intelligent than one might have assumed on at a quick glance.
So now for a daily update. The Air Force was kind enough to do an early morning display of air power right over out Earth Module. There was a sound in the distance than a jet came screaming about 200 feet over the Earth Module. Then one more, and finally a laggard. Trump must be up to something because yesterday they were parachuting into the lake with sport parachutes. Trump may be planning to attack McDonalds, or the NRA. In his usual bizarre fashion yesterday first he said he was not afraid of the NRA, then later he cozied up to them and gave a round of hugs and kisses.
When you think politics and Trump cannot get an once more goofy, Trump pulls one out of the hat and the insanity rains. As his own chief of staff actually said, and never retracted, " Trump is a fucking moron". This indeed is the case. Trump with his total ignorance of economics has sent the stock market into a tumble with his ideas on tariffs. Trump does not understand that cars are made of steel and aluminum. When Trump forces those prices up the cost of cars go up and the trade deficit goes up. Pretty simple for anyone to figure out, but not Trump, he only understands cheeseburger economics.
Now if you need a laugh read the twitter fight between Trump and the actor Alex Baldwin who plays trump on SNL. Baldwin shot Trump out of the saddle with his tweets back at Trump after Trump suggested Baldwin give up impersonating him. Also for another good belly laugh watch last night with Colbert. Trump has been a gold mine for comedians.

We are . moving
The other day Kadizzle wondered as he is prone to do. He wondered how fast is the Earth moving in the circle where it goes around the sun. The speed was a shock. The Earth is moving around the sun at 67,000 miles per hour. Now when you consider that if you hit a wall with a car 35 mph is all it takes to kill you. We all need to be thankful nothing is in the way except the moon as we spin around the sun. We must be thankful the moon carefully dances around the Earth so we don't hit it. Now consider the possibility that even a small rock get in our way and we hit it head on. Something the size of a football field hit head on will explode like a gigantic nuclear bomb. What protects us from little rocks is the atmosphere. Normally it burns up the little rocks.
So you drive down the road at 65 mph hour. A tiny rock pops up from the truck wheel in front of you. It hits your windshield. You are pissed it put a nick in the windshield. Now think if it was even the size of a golf ball. You might be hurt.
Driving down the road at 65 you can figure out where you might be later today. Well moving through space at 67,000 miles per hour we know where we are headed, and were we will be. We are headed toward Spring at that speed. Also we are moving toward our next birthday. So when you think time is moving slowly, you need to ask, compared to what?

Watching People get shot up.
Starting to type this Kadizzle thought he would write about his friends being shot up. By that Kadizzle means his older friends that are suffering from various health problems. All of a sudden it hit Kadizzle that we are watching people literally getting shot up, school children. First, lets deal with older people getting shot up. Ken and Rita had to leave suddenly because Rita is experiencing some health problems. Two of our older good buddies are dealing with health crisis. Health is a big part of getting old, and certainly not a pleasant part of it. Friends are dealing with cancer, implants, seeing problems, and on it goes. It always seems like we are old trees in the forest. You see those old noble trees, and you see the limbs falling off, and the big hollow spots in the trunk. It is just how nature works.
Now lets get to the real tragedy. Nothing is as disturbing as having your child injured. Imagine having your child shot by an NRA terrorist. Many years ago our daughter was seriously injured in an accident. Her kidney was split into three pieces and she was internally bleeding to death. As the ambulance rushed Erin to Bismarck we followed in the car. Somewhere between New Salem and Bismarck the ambulance pulled off the road shut off the emergency lights and stopped. Terrorized we both thought perhaps Erin had died. It was one of the most terrifying moments in our lives. As it turned out the ambulance had to stop so they could take Erin's blood pressure. It was so week they needed silence. Losing a child to an accident is one thing. Having NRA terrorist kill your child would be a tragedy of another magnitude.
So we have an organization in the United States that wants to help gun manufactures sell guns. To sell the guns the NRA buys off congressmen. The congressmen play to the gun insane to get elected. The price of this is a government that does not work, and far worse dead children. Other countries have people that hunt, they have guns, and they have sensible gun laws. Why do we pretend it is impossible to protect our children when every other modern country does?

The Ice Flow
Years ago Kadizzle read about an explorer in the Arctic. After a the ship was frozen in the ice the crew realized they had to make a long trek toward Russia across the ice. After three weeks and terrible struggling they took a star sighting. The fix from the stars told them they had made no progress. How could this be, they had been moving steadily for three weeks. It turned out they were on a huge sheet of ice. As fast as they walked south the ice was flowing north.
Kadizzle awoke this morning with that feeling. He was walking south on an ice flow moving north. Lately it seem like we are getting nowhere. Trump has taken us backwards by decades. Income inequality has put the country back to before the depression.
Is there any good news. Yes, somehow the arctic explorers eventually made it to land and were rescued. Don't give up.

Billy Graham will be welcomed in Hell
Once upon a time when Kadizzle was a teenager he realized his mother was sending money to Billy Graham. Our family had nine children and sending money to Billy did not seem like a brilliant idea. Now old Billy was clever. Billy early on figured out how to use computers to bilk people like my mother. Billy realized you had to figure out how to pull the right string. Did the person you wanted to bilk have sympathy for Indians, Africans, or poor American children.
Well send the old ladies different scams and see which one they bite on. Better yet let the computer do the work. So one day Kadizzle wrote the Graham scam machine a letter. Kadizzle made up a number like $360.. Kadizzle explained to the Graham organization our family could not afford to take care of his Africans and we would like to have our money back. The Graham gang wrote back that my mother had given them $267.97 and we could not have it back. The money was used to fuel Billy's twin engine plane he flies to his cabin in Alaska. There are a host of poor people in Alaska that need Jesus apparently.
Billy Graham paved the way for every crooked preacher that followed him. Now you have dozens of " Prosperity Gospel" preachers. You give me money and God will make you rich. Graham invented this wonderful way to prosper. Billy passed away and they are planning what to do with his carcass. It should be ground into bits and fed to pigs. Billy also passed away with 25 million in the bank. Now Billy could have given the money back after he died rich doing the work of Jesus, but no Billy left it to Franklin so Franklin could carry on the work of Jesus bilking old ladies.
What other fraud can you do in the United States that is tax free and gauranteed never to get you the jail time you deserve. Yup, it is religion. Now, they want to put Billy's carcass in the Capital rotunda so Americans can get used to the idea of some con man bing there, because after all someday the carcass of our orange president will lie there to prove the wicked witch is dead.

A gathering of Sailors
With our sailing friends we had a nice supper last night in Gold Canyon. As usual a few old stories cropped up about fouled anchors and other adventures. The sailing gang is planning a two week sail this summer instead of the regular one week sail where we explore the lake.
We have been sailing for a long time together and now we are getting old together. Time is taking it's toll on our bodies, but some wind in the sails this summer will restore us all. What is the fascination people have with water? People want to be near water. All the campers here at lake Roosevelt are camped on the beach. People build homes beside lakes and oceans. Supposedly we came from the seas. Our bodies are mostly salt water. Maybe it is an urge to go back to a simpler time when we just swam around and ate smaller fish.
Now we are on land swimming in a sea of cars and pollution. The primordial sea may have been the place to stay.

A new level of insanity
Think about this for a minute. The same guy who says you must respect the president, the flag, and all the patriotic nonsense is the same guy who tells you the government is coming to get your gun. If you read this blog you might have read about Alex the trail hiker Kadizzle picked up the other day. Alex has some bizarre thoughts. Alex was not getting enough nutrition to his brain. Is that the problem with Trump? Arming teachers? What level of insanity have we reached?
If you see a solution to a problem you use the solution. Every modern country that has gun control, does not have the problem we do.
Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and a host of right wing propaganda machines have convinced Americans to buy into the paranoid insanity the NRA sells. Sadly poorly educated people who don't understand data, science, and reality have bought the nonsense spewed by right wing media. Now we have Donald Trump.
How did our country sink to this level?

NRA insanity
Kadizzle has a gun, Mrs Kadizzle has a gun. We fear one thing, pheasants. That is all the guns are for. If the government comes to get out guns some pheasants will be safe. The gun insanity that has gripped the country is beyond belief. Are we going to sacrifice our children because the NRA has purchased our legislators? You want to register our guns, go ahead. You want to fingerprint us, go ahead. You want to make hand guns illegal go ahead. Do what you have to do to protect our children. Every modern country in the world has gun laws that have prevented mass shootings. What do you get when you let the NRA purchase the government. You get Donald Trump, a complete idiot. You get worthless lickspittles like our congressional delegation in North Dakota. So not only do you get dead children compliments of the NRA, you get a government that only wants to shovel money to the rich while the country falls apart.
The NRA knows nothing sells better than fear. The NRA feeds on fear. The government is going to get your gun. A bad hombre is going to break into your house and rape your wife. Think about what the government that promotes guns has done. The government that promotes guns sure has oppressed every minority there is. So if you are worried about your freedom as a black person, a gay person, a Mexican person, or a Muslim, think about the NRA government we now have. It is the NRA government that has already stolen your freedom.
In our country one of our biggest freedoms is an equal chance to succeed. Do you have an equal chance with a person who inherits billions? Do you have an equal chance with a kid that goes to the best schools, and does not have to pay his own way through school? No, the NRA government has stolen your equality. Who is in the NRA military? It is not rich kids like Donald Trump. The poor are our soldiers. Who does all the work in this country? It is the poor, the disadvantaged. Trump never worked one day in his life. So that freedom you are going to protect with your gun is already gone.

Bigfoot adopts Alex
Some good news today. The Kadizzles woke up and met with Alex at his camp site. After a long drive up Campaign Creed to Peter Bigfoot's compound we walked in. Alex went ahead and was already having a conversation with Peter when we arrived. Alex told Peter of his dilemma. Peter agreed to let Alex stay and be part of his operation. This was very good news. Had Alex continued to hike the Arizona Trail on his starvation diet the outcome would not have been good. The stretch of the Arizona Trail from here up towards Payson is wild and difficult beyond what most people can realize. Alex had intended to hike with nothing but about eight pieces of fruit. How he made it from the Mexican border to here is amazing. He said for awhile he was living on lemons.
At the Bigfoot ranch we purchased some of his vegetables. Bigfoot has an amazing garden and a lot of the volunteers have been buying his produce.

Picking up Strays.
At the Forest Service Visitor Center yesterday Kadizzle walked out onto the plaza. Sitting by the drinking fountain was a thin male hiker. The Kadizzles try to spot people hiking the Arizona Trail and give them help and refuge. Kadizzle approached the young guy and offered him a meal, a shower, and a place to camp. Soon it became evident this young guy was not an ordinary hiker. As his story unfolded he said he was an ex marine. Alex had been in a special program in the marines and suffered some kind of injuries that left him constantly suffering and in great pain. Alex claimed he had been all over the world search for a cure. Nothing seemed to work, but some strange doctor told him he needed to do a dry fast. A dry fast is where you heal your body by taking no water or food. Basically you starve yourself. Looking at Alex it appeared that was exactly what he was doing. First, Alex needed groceries. Kadizzle took him to Tonto Basin to get his food resupplied. As we drove he appeared to be almost passed out. Alex had told the Mrs. that he had not slept for days, and was hiking at night because of anxiety problems.
Alex seemed to have a host of problems. Before we reached the store Alex said he avoided junk food and meat. Shopping Kadizzle noticed the worst kind of junk food in the cart Alex was pushing. Kadizzle inquired and Alex said he had an addiction for junk food.
Kadizzle gave Alex a pass to camp in the park free and left him at a campsite with solar showers. When Kadizzle returned several hours later to pick Alex up for dinner he seemed much better. Apparently the food had a good effect. Kadizzle had lectured Alex on the insanity of trying to heal his body by starving it. Having had time to think about Kadizzle's remarks Alex seemed to be thinking more clearly.
Kadizzle had a flash of genius and insight. The perfect place for Alex would be with Peter Bigfoot. Peter Bigfoot is the guy up the valley with an aging hippy compound. Alex could get room and board from Bigfoot if he helped around the ranch. Alex would be fed good food from the Bigfoot organic garden, and Alex could partake of all Bigfoots natural cures. Alex liked the ideal.
Now todays goal is to get Alex up to Bigfoot. A little back story. Alex started hiking the trail at the Arizona border with Mexico. Alex has hiked 400 miles on the trail so far. His intention is to go clear to Utah. Some of the most difficult remote parts of the trail are right her. From here Alex will not be able to get food for perhaps a week. He did not buy enough food to last a day or two. Starving himself and depriving himself of water could result in his death. Kadizzle told him of another hiker that disappeared in the Mazatal mountains where the trail goes. The man has still not been found after ten years.
Like so many stories this one goes on and on. Alex said his father was a convict and his mother a drug addict. I asked him what his father does now. He said his father is retired. It never occurred to Kadizlzle that you could retire as a convict. Alex said he was adopted and had a falling out with his adoptive parents when he reconnected with his real parents. So in an hour or so the story will continue as Kadizzle tries to find Alex a home. There are two ways to introduce Alex to Bigfoot. One way would be to drop Alex off nearby and have him wander in as a lost soul. The other would be for Kadizzle to explain to Bigfoot what the problem is. That issue has to be resolved. Kadizzle thinks it might be best to be up front and have a conversation with Bigfoot. Bigfoot may not want the stray in which case Alex may take up the second half of the trail. Who knows how this will go. Hate to see a nice young guy 26 wander off into oblivion.

World Exercise record set
For three days in a row fat old Kadizzle has lumped his body down to the Forest Service gym to exercise. What seems to work is music. On the scale the gravity has not let up appreciably. Listening to music while riding the bike or doing the rowing machine seems to create endurance. Will have to admit the lower back seems to be improving.
Kadizzle much prefers to be on a real bike and the temptation to buy an electric assist bike has been very strong. Kadizzle has been trying to convince Shanika to open an electric bike rental business in Medora, North Dakota. To this end Kadizzle has been discussing the ins and outs of the business with the owner of a rental shop in Scottsdale.
Look up the Rad Rover if you are interested. Kadizzle has tried one and they are neat. If you let the bike do all the work you can go twenty miles, if you pedal the range can be doubled or tripled. If you run out of power you will be peddling a heavy bike. One nice feature are the fat tires which allow you to go just about anywhere.

Nice surprise from Heidi this morning.
Recently Kadizzle fired off a letter to the Fargo Forum about Trump's silly desire for a military parade. Apparently it caught Senator Heitkemp's attention. Heidi emailed Kadizzle today and said she is opposed to the waste of money for a parade for Dear Leader.
The old saying is "The squeaking wheel gets the grease". Anyone can write a letter to the newspaper. Newspapers are desperate something to print. Normally if you try to get the attention of your representative all you get is a form letter. Today Kadizzle will call Cory Gardner's office in D.C. My daughter Erin has been running a JiHad against the right wing rat for about a year . So he will get a call today from a grandfather that does not want his Sylvie shot by an NRA terrorist.
Do your part become active and fight the gun terrorist the NRA supports.

Normally if you try to get the attention of your representative all you get is a form letter. Today Kadizzle will call Cory Gardner's office in D.C. My daughter Erin has been running a JiHad against the right wing rat for about a year . So he will get a call today from a grandfather that does not want his Sylvie shot by an NRA terrorist.
Do your part become active and fight the gun terrorist the NRA supports.

Radio Frequency Divice
What in the hell is an RFD? RFD stands for radio frequency device. Now read this and Kadizzle will explain how this device could go a long way to solving gun problems. When you go into the store and you see those little black things on the high end items. Those things keep people from stealing. If someone tries to walk out of the store with an expensive item which has a tag attached, an alarm goes off.
How does this work? That little tag can give off a radio signal. How does it do it? When you go past those weird looking things at the entrance to the store you and the little tag are being exposed to microwave energy. It is a low dose of the same thing in your microwave that cooks the food. That energy enters the chip and the chip sends out a signal. That signal triggers an alarm. Now stick with Kadizzle and find our how this can be done with guns.
If guns were required to have an RFD chip implanted in the handle or in some portion of the gun where it could not be easily removed guns would give off a signal when exposed to microwave energy. Guess what? The military and the police have already adopted this technology. The military can walk into a vault of guns and every gun will identify itself.
Now put it all together. A simple minded deranged gun dinger tries to go into a school with a gun. The gun has an imbedded RFD chip. The chip sets off an alarm at the school and the gunman is stopped. This is not dreaming. The technology is here. You are required to have an RFD in your gun. This will protect policemen making traffic stopes and countless other people.
Of course the NRA will oppose this. The government is coming to get our guns.

Trickled on
Sitting in the Earth Module as Mrs. Kadizzle makes the coffee. Last night we got trickled on as the clouds came in. Some kids got trickled on with bullets in Florida. It will all be forgotten until the next gunman trickles on some kids, or maybe some church people. If thoughts and prayers work you would surely think a church would be a place you could not get shot. Americans have such short memories. Trump can tell a lie and no one remembers he told one yesterday and the day before.
The current mess reminds Kadizzle of an incident long ago. Kadizzle was underground in a coal mine in West Virginia. He was young and new to mining. With a bunch of other young people that had been hired for the summer to do laboring work Kadizzle was reinforcing a portion of the main line rail line that had caved in.
Underground trains run on a trolly system. That means there is a copper trolly wire over the track that is energized with 800 volts of DC power. The ground for the system are the tracks the train runs on. Under the trolly wire was a steel flatbed rail car. As we were unloading the car somehow a steel drill stem, which is basically just a long piece of steel, fell against the trolly wire as it was grounded on the steel flat car. This happened right in the midst of young unexperienced coal miners. It was like instant lightening. Huge bolts were flying and we scattered like rats. An old expeirienced miner came casually onto the rail car and used a wooden 2 x 4 to move the drill stem from the trolly wire. The excitement was over. The young miners felt like fools.
This is like dealing with the NRA gun terrorist. There are simple solutions, but instead we run like chickens in every direction not knowing what to do.
Now after the old timer stopped the lightening show he had to put on a show of his own. The old guy was standing on the rail car so he could reach the trolly wire with his mouth. He opened his mouth and put the trolly wire in his mouth. This is one of the stupidest things Kadizzle has ever see a human do. With good rubber boots, which this guy had, you could get away with this trick. However, there is always moisture in a mine, and a pair of boots without a small leak are hard to find. When the idiot put the wire in his mouth if his boots which insulated him from the car had the tiniest of a leak he may have been killed or in for a terrible surprise. The fillings in his teeth would have melted and dripped down his throat.

What is it you need?
Many days Kadizzle searches for that special item that will make his life so much easier. It never seems to appear. Would a bigger boat be the answer? Not really, bigger boats are bigger headaches. Would a fancy car be the answer? Doubt it who cares? What about a bigger fancier home? Just more problems.
Now Kadizzle is not a rich man, but he is rich by the old standard. A man is rich according to what he can do without. Now why do the people with a hundred million, a billion, or fifty billion need more? Studies about happiness have shown that peoples joy in life does not increase much after they make about $70,000 per year. Yet people are willing to make life miserable for the poor so the rich can have more. Time to bring out the trickle down argument. Let's not even waste time on that nonsense. It simply doesn't work except in cows. When you give a cow feed it trickles to the bottom of the cow and feeds the calf. The good thing is humans steal the milk for themselves. Now that is the Republican plan. Even if the food trickles to the bottom of the cow, how can the rich still steal the milk? There are hundreds of ways to dupe the ignorant. Scare them and sell them guns. Scare them and tell them they need to buy aircraft carriers. Get them in church and tell them god needs there money. Start a fake university like Trump did. Sell them something for 19.95.
The best trick of all is a Republican favorite. The government is after your money to give it to poor lazy people who do not work. What about the Republicans who are after your money to give it to rich lazy people who do not work? They earned it. Oh yea, they earned it. Most of them inherited it or had such a head start they were bound to win.
Somehow we are to believe the head o Walmart actually earns his $8,000 per hour. Of course he does selling stuffed animals from China to those lazy poor people. The CEO gets 133 dollars a minute. That means for a ten minute bowl release he gets paid one thousand three hundred and thirty dollars. Taking a shit he earns more than the greeter at the door of his Wallmart does in a week. That is how trickle down works. CEO trickles down in the toilet and earns enough to buy something. Now some poor person in China making stuffed animals has a job. Exactly how Jesus wants the work

Uncle Remus Trump
Judy Wallman Trump, a professional genealogy researcher in
southern California, was doing some personal work on her own family tree.She discovered that President Donald Trump's great, great uncle, Remus Trump,
was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. Both
Judy and President Trump share this common ancestor.The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows in Montana
territory. On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this
inscription: *“Remus Trump, horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison
1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton
detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.”*So Judy recently e-mailed the President for information about their great,
great uncle,Remus.
grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings
with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of
his life to government service, finally taking leave to resume his dealings
with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by
the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an
important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was
standing collapsed.”*Now THAT is how it's done, Folks, in politics!
Nosuch Rocks
Later today the expedition will head to Nonsuch Rocks. There is a strange rock formation out there near the mountains. Cliff, Mrs. Kadizzle and Jon will drive the jeep. Kadizzle will take the cycle. Part of the mission is to show Jon where he can ride his electric bike on some interesting back roads.
Worked hard on the JiHad with the NRA yesterday, but everyone will calm down until more children are shot. Sad state of affairs. Kadizzle's arch nemisis Kevin Cramer is going for the big bucks. Challenging Heidi, Cramer hopes to be able to get the big bribes. A lot of people know what a rodent Congressmen Cramer is, but there are just too many Hoopleheads in North Dakota.
The Russian game is heating up. Hopefully than can pull the trigger on Trump. Looks like the coffee is ready, so perhaps more later if some caffeine hit the mind.
