Electric Goats

 Last evening Kadizzle put a ring on Stroupini to see if he wanted to go on an electric bike excursion with Kadizzle and Winky.  Stroupini took us up on it.  We went to his house to get him.  Kadizzle gave his new steam whistle a couple toots.  Off we went, three old goats on electric bikes.  Down the highway and out into the country.  Why don't goats ride bikes?  The knees were a little sore, but the belly was a little smaller.  Electric bikes are catching on big time.  They are fun, and save a lot of fuel, and wear and tear on the car, and the person.  Try one. 

Discovery

The brain needs fresh food.  Kadizzle has become somewhat of a Youtube addict.  The things you can find people have made videos about are endless.  The Two Cellos below came from surfing Youtube.  You can find junk advice and good advice.  There is one called "Give it a think" that is educational, lots of good science,  and engineering.  Feeding a hungry brain is fun.  Unfortunately that hungry brain causes diarrhea of the mouth according to friends.  Winky says Kadizzle dominates conversations.  Yup probably do.  Find many interesting things to shoot out the mouth.  If you are not a Youtube surfer give it a try.  Youtube has a howto on just about everything.  So far Kadizzle has learned how to fly a jet, operate an Ohio River barge, and do a lot of other things.  The bizzare things people make are fun to see, campers pulled behind bikes and table saws made from grinders.  Want to see people do stupid stuff, endless supply.  Maybe the same category people doing scary stuff, but it does stimulate the mind.  Only problem while you sit there watching other people move you are not.

Here we go

 Slowly but surely the house is emptying. Room by room we evacuate.  Selling what we can has been a surprise.  Most of our furniture has been purchased by friends.  The Kadizzles will be able to visit friends and our old furniture at the same time.  It was nice to find good homes for the furniture.  We pulled the trigger and bought a new camper yesterday.  That means we have to haul this one to Missoula and get the other one.  Since we also bought a new truck we have to drive the first five hundred miles under fifty milers per hour.  That should be fun. 

The level of insanity reached by the country is like the virus, the spread of  stupidity.  Trump gets worse every day and more blatant in his lying and cheating,  yet his cult never waives. What could Trump do to lose the cult members?  Kadizzle sees people he knows who are cult members and just cannot comprehend how they do it.  

How do people believe things that make absolutely no sense?  Really it should not be that surprising. People have always believed nonsense.  Look at religion.  Worldwide people make up some silly story and believe it.  The failure of logic is at the heart of the matter.  Some person sells the simple minded a theory that is so bogus a child would not buy it, but the dingers do.  Conspiracy theories are selling today like hot cakes.  The psychology of stupidity is a study in itself.  Always there is the desire to believe.  The health food market is a classic.  Just take this pill, drink this water, and do this exercise, and all will be well.  What do magicians do?  Magicians play on diversion, and your desire to be fooled.  What does Trump do? Trump plays on your desire to believe lies.  Trump knows how to appeal to your worst instincts.  Figuring out how to manipulate people has been an age old trick.  No one mastered it like churches.  Give me some money every Sunday and I will sell you salvation.  Farmers figured it out. You could get more salvation by staying home and harvesting the wheat before it rained.  Sometimes logic intervenes.   You are giving money to a group that rapes little boys?  Oh it is just a few odd ones.  Rationalization, works in favor of the charlatans.  November will reveal if the fog is lifted or if the tidal wave of ignorance has overwhelmed us.

Good morning Russians.

 The little page that tells Kadizzle what countries are looking at this blog says Kadizzle has three times more Russians reading the blog than Americans.  According to the statistics one thousand seven hundred and fifty Russians are tuned in.  Now please some Russian let me know why.  No one with any sense would waste their time reading this stuff. Why do Russians like it.  If you are a Russian get hold of me somehow.  It makes no sense.  The only thing that might make sense is Russians helping throw our elections.  Maybe they need to get a sense for what goes on in our country.  Someone solve this mystery. 

Steal the Mind

 OK this may offend some people, but such is life.  Moving through town in recent days Kadizzle goes past the Methodist Church.  Outside are little children, little children being indoctrinated.  A nice young woman sits on a chair and tells the little children stories that are myths, legends, and unsubstantiated nonsense. Now we wonder how adults can believe in Trump.  As children the Trumpsters were taught about the dead arising, walking on water, talking snakes, women turned into salt, so believing Trump is not much of a leap.  What a disservice to a young mind, getting children to lose the ability to tell truch from fiction, to tell logical from illogical.  God wiped out a lot of people with floods, plagues, and you name it, now tell the kids he is a living God.  None of it makes a bit of sense, but it prepares young minds to think in a way that makes no sense.  Just believe, that doesn't work.  The real world has facts, science, research, and even truth. Religion tells young kids to avoid all this.  Don't believe what you see, if someone tells you a fantastic lie it might be true.  Why would anyone do this to little kids?  How will you expect to live in a real world when you don't believe in the real world? The Bible teaches kids it is all right to kill a bunch of people once in awhile. God did it.  The Bible did nothing about slavery, the crusades, or so much of the carnage the Catholic church sponsored.  The Bible enabled the priest to rape the little boys. No, no it wasn't the Bible.  Oh yes it was, it was a tool of Trump.  Trump used the Bible to further his propaganda game as he walked to the church.  The Bible was used to tell the slaves they were meant to be slaves.  It all starts with little children washed in the blood of the lamb.  

Toot's new Horn

 As promised here is Toot Stroupini with the new brass steam whistle.  In the background you can see the landscape work Kadizzle and Stroupini did at his new house. 

The Crash is coming

 As usual Kadizzle awankend about 4 A.M.   The article in the New York Times glaring at him from  his laptop told about the store closings in New York.  Winky just read something out loud about the economy in Britain.  We are entering a new world and most of the world is oblivious.  The old economy has to be replaced it just will not work.  There is no work.  Think how many people have been put out of work.  Look up at the sky, do you see the jet contrails? No, what does that tell you?  The game has changed.  What happens when people have no work and no money? Rebellion.  The recent riots were just the beginning of social unrest.  The greed Republicans have sewn is going to backfire in a big way.  What is money? Money is just paper that represents work.  You cannot print work.  This will soon be discovered.  The train is coming down the track and the tea party on the railroad track is going to have a rude interruption. The fallacy of this economy is going to become so obvious even a Trump supporter can see it.  How can you keep the illusion going when the priest are having sex with little boys?  That is Trump.  His crimes are so blatant it is getting hard for the cult members to ignore. 

The big move goes on.  The house is just about devoid of furniture.  The Kadizzles are down to seeds and stems.  The dining room table will go tonight.  The twin beds downstairs went last night.  Kadizzle sold the twin beds to the victim of homeschooling.  The poor guy never learned any social skills.  His family had their little cult. Now he is out in the world with no friends, and no clue how to relate to normal people. Kadizzle feels sorry for people robbed of their minds by religion.  What a cruel thing to do to your children.  Fill their heads with nonsense and isolate them from reality.  

Toot Stroupini

 Kadizzle had to go to the court house today to have Stroupini's first name changed.  Now he is " Toot" Stroupini.  Old Toot has been working on a great project.  Toot took a large propane tank and filled it with compressed air.  The air runs his steam whistle down at his house.  Kadizzle was just on the back porch and Toot gave a few blast.  About a mile away the wonderful sound of a riverboat came to the back yard.  Toot was on the phone when he let loose so Kadizzle could hear the toot on the phone and then a second later the sound came over to the Kadizzle house.  Now, a schedule has to be made for when the horn will blow.  Kadizzle will get a picture of the wonderful device and post it on here. 

Around it spins

 It has happened once more, the sun came up.  The house looks like it has been hit by a tornado on the inside.  The moving out process chugs along.  Kadizzle is not attached to things, but Winky has treasures.  The treasures are a pain.  Somehow getting things out of the house we have lived in for so long means it is real.  We have some of the best neighbors in the world.  Dallas and Marilyn invited over for dinner the other night.  When you eat at the old grocer's house and he is married to a good cook lookout.   When Dallas cooks steak you know it will be a belly buster, and Marilyn made some special peaches baked with blue cheese.  Umm, umm, umm.  Of course there was slap your granny pie. 

Bob lives up the street.  Bob has a collection of tools, nails, and you name it in his basement.  Over the years Kadizzle has transferred all his excess to Bob's basement. Bob puts it in an orderly fashion. Now when you need something you just call Bob's hardware.  The Kadizzle's were original settlers in this neighborhood. Some great people came and went. In fact we are the only original settlers when you think about it. 

This morning Kadizzle is thinking about how he could get back to New Zealand.  They will not let you in. New Zealand is virus free.  Winky would love it, but we cannot get in. 

The biggest headache in this moving process is the wall hangings.  For some strange reason the Kadizzles are incapable of packaging the blasted art work.  So Cheech insisted on hiring packers.  The professionals will be paid an outrages sum to stuff pictures in a box that we could do for free, but it will create some kind of strange comfort for Winky.  

On the side Winky is hankering for a new fifth wheel camper.  That is a read undertaking.  If we get one we will have to travel to Idaho, or Arizona.  Dealing with those guys over the phone is a treat as they try to explain to you that you need to just give them the Earth Module on trade.  Going broke the old fashioned way is fun. 

Trickle Up

Some friends took the Kadizzles out on a boat yesterday to tour the land of the prosperous.  Along the lake people are paying one million to tear down and existing lake home and build one for a few million.  These are the people who refuse to pay their share of taxes and hire Kelly Armstrong, and Kevin Cramer to protect them from the welfare cheats.  Income inequality is on full display at the lake.  One classic case is the poor fellow who built an 11,000 square foot home and cannot find a buyer.  Some little oil orphan will buy it given enough time.  As many lose their homes the Republicans rejoice in the new banana Republic . The Republican tax system makes sure all the bananas go to the top. 

AMERICA WAKE UP - George Carlin - American Dream 2020

Another Day

 Kadizzle slept so hard he had a hard time coming back to life.  What a life to come back to.  The insane clown is still in his circus tent.  Insanity is raining down on our moving project.  The Kadizzle family has never moved since 1976.  Our last move from West Virginia to North Dakota was a joke.  Kadizzle worked for Conoco at the time.  Money was no object for the big oil company and they had a special division that moved people.  Conoco paid about three thousand dollars to move about ten dollars worth of trash.  We had nothing.  The result was a full sized moving van with a pile of cinder blocks, and the most amazing thine a pile of firewood.  Kadizzle did not know Winky was bringing the firewood when the truck pulled into the farmyard in North Dakota.  Also on the truck was a five by five piece of marble we used for a table top.  Now when we need that truck, we are trying to move with a wheelbarrow.   The house is strewn with boxes and fribble frable.  We have rented a storage shed.  

Storage sheds are the bain of the country and say so much about what we have become.  There is almost one storage locker for every home in Hazen.  Storing crap is the new American dream.   The curse of the countryside is steel buildings.  We import giant shiploads of recycled trash from China and store it in metal sheds.  We live by the motto " Someday I am going to need that "  .   Then you die and your kids say" What in the hell did he save that for?"  Sitting over there on the kitchen island is a set of carving knives, a very expensive set we got for our wedding two hundred years ago.  Maybe once we used those knives.  There is so much that was purchased to feel like we were prosperous, but never used.  

Back in the hills

Stroupini and Kadizzle have been learning, and studying hillbilly life. Kadizzle grew up there, so he has some background.  The video posted below has some good hillbilly language.  It is a good primer for what the old hillbillies were like.  Fun to watch if you are bored. 

This is the Last Dam Run of Likker I'll Ever Make (full movie)

Out the door

Moving, what an experience.  Giving away stuff, selling stuff, throwing stuff out.  The real hassle is giving crap to the kids.  Figuring out what they want and how to get it to them is the worst part of the game.  Megan lives in Philadelphia, and Erin is in Denver.  One of the worst things to deal with is a piece of furniture that is somewhat of an art piece.  It is a custom made bar that will be very expensive to get to Philadelphia.  Today Kadizzle will break down and rent a storage shed.  Hate the damn things. They are the curse of our country. When you have so much detris you have to rent an extra garage you and your country have a problem.  We are a nation of accumulators.  Winky and Kadizzle never thought they were bad in that category, but once you start carrying the junk you haven't used for thirty years out the door you understand how much waste there really is in this country.  Kadizzle watched a youtube video on one of those giant container ships.  It carried 18,000 containers.  Imagine how much junk that is in one ship.  That many truckloads of junk headed to our landfills from China. 

The Faithful

Right in front of you Trump says we need to get rid of the post office.  Right in front of you Trump says we need to postpone the election.  You just don't notice.  The faithful are amazing.  In the midst of reality they chose to follow the delusion.  If you want to see it you can.  If you want to see blood coming from the eyes of a statue someone can arrange it.  If you want to see the all time con man of history as a saint, no problem.  Believe, just believe, that is all it takes. 

The placebo effect is amazing.  It reminds old Kadizzle so much of the day he walked out of a Whole Foods grocery story with a friend.  There was a case of water for sale by the door.  The water said it had natural hydrogen in it. Kadizzle asked out loud " Who would buy that stuff".  The friend said " I do". Imagine natural hydrogen, as opposed to artificial hydrogen.  Once you say natural hydrogen, then by implication that means there must be artificial hydrogen.  That is how Trump operates.  Trump tells the cult there are groups out to defeat him and sure enough there are people who fight the idiot everyday.  So those must be the secret groups he has told us about.  Kadizzle is going to go down on main street and say something stupid,  someone will call him an idiot.  No he is a profit.  Kadizzle predicted someone would call him an idiot.  How easy is it to start a nonsensical cult. 

The Gods are angry.  If you give me some money I can talk to the Gods and have them be happier and make it rain.  It didn't work.  You didn't give me enough money.  Just be patient.  See after you gave me more money it finally did rain.  The deep state caused the virus.  Help me fight the deep state.  Send in money so we can get more judges to help make the Deep State illegal.
