Parker Creek Trail #160. What we do as volunteers

Down to the Lake

Jasper Littlebottom has conned Kadizzle into going down to the lake to work on trails. The task will be to remove large fallen trees from the trails. Kadizzle likes using leverage, winches, and other principles of physic to move the beast. Of course it will be warmer three thousand feet lower. 

As mentioned many times our trail crew is old goats working. Some cities and towns have a method to allow old goats to work and get a tax deduction. Kadizzle thinks this would be a good idea for Payson. The cheap Republican goats who love tax breaks for the rich could pay their own taxes by working. The town could give the goats a tax break for cleaning up their yard. The old goats bitching about taxes could pick up trash, or do some office work, anything to help out. Goats could read to children, or help at the school cafeteria.  

Breaking the bubble

The Hoopleheads live in an information bubble. A key to running a Hooplehead information site is to keep real information out. In Payson, Arizona the Hooples will quickly make sure you cannot bust the Hooplehead Bubble. Kadizzle has tested this several times. Go to a Hooplehead meeting speak the truth, and bang you will be asked to leave or they will threaten you with the police. The same goes for Hooplehead social media. The Hooples have a facebook thing called Transparent Payson. Strangely it isn't very transparent. Both General Donut and Kadizzle were locked out immediately when we challenged the lies. This is typical right wing behavior. 

You have seen it on television. An interview goes off the rails on Fox News and the person being interviewed is scooted out. KMOG radio just like KFYR in North Dakota will hang up on a caller or cut them off, or talk over them if they start to expose the fraud. 

Now look at the other side. The Democrats have never refused entrance to anyone at any meeting. Hmm

Homeless Solution

 Across the country hundreds of shopping malls are empty. Why not make them shelters for the homeless? There are now office building empty. Lack of will and imagination are the only problems. The idea arose from seeing a conversion of a shopping mall to a community college. Homeless people can share bathrooms, kitchens, and bathing facilities. Think how many homeless you could put in a shopping mall. There could be child care, pet facilities and so on. More than likely the owners would be glad to unload and empty mall. Look around you at all the empty places people could live. What we have in this country is not a shortage of anything, just the waste of so much. 

What an old man thinks

The clock will soon strike 75 years old. The guy in my head gets to watch the mind age. This is the age of review. Now pictures of people keep popping up on social media. Just now saw a kid I grew up with. He was wild and his mother had her hands full. How did he turn out? Might be interesting to find out. All those kids in the neighborhood, what happened? Did they have kids? Everyone in the old Woodsdale neighborhood is old now.  Imagine that ten year old now 75. What did we live through? Did any of us ever think of what was to come? Now we have a dictator running for president, electric cars, Hoopleheads and Russia at war. 

Now we have grandchildren. It is simply amazing to think about all that has happened. We all imagined people would wise up, nope we got dumber. Never thought we would set the planet on fire, destroy the oceans, and create homeless people. When Kadizzle was a kid there was maybe on or two bums, now the streets are full of bums. Progress?  Who ever thought 400 families would buy congress and manage to get half of everything? The world has taken some strange twist.  

One More Time

 About thirty minutes ago Kadizzle finished a long talk in his garage with a Hooplehead. We sit in the garage to soak up the warm sunshine. After the Hoople spouted the usual Republican twist on taxes, Kadizzle made the Hoople an offer. Kadizzle told the Hooplehead if he came in the house and watched a five minute video that debunked his nonsense he would pay him sixty dollars in cash immediately. Nope, the Hoople was not about to be force fed real knowledge. Kadizzle told the Hoople he would watch anything the Hoople wanted for sixty dollars. 

This is the world of the Hoopleheads, you cannot pay a Hooplehead to get smarter. The same Hooplehead said you cannot find anything in Costco that is not made in China. Kadizzle told the Hoople he just bought gin that came from England at Costco. The truth doesn't matter. Next the Hoople said 90% of the merchandise at Costco was from China. Kadizzle offered to drive the Hoople to Costco and pay him $500 if he was right. Nope, the Hoople said he did not have the time. 

Yesterday at the town council meeting Kadizzle tried to hand the Hooples fact sheets. Nope, not going to read a Harvard study. The Hooples treat facts like radioactive material, they want no part of facts. Always remember the Hoople motto " If you believe it, it is true".

The National Association for the Advancement of Humanity

 Call Kadizzle and you might get this greeting " National Association for the Advancement of Humanity".  When Kadizzle gets calls he does not recognize this is how he answers. If you don't want to identify yourself, then why should Kadizzle?

However, The National Association for the Advancement of Humanity is the organization that sponsors this blog and does so much good for Humanity. Currently the Association is trying to save America from Trump. If you want to help send a generous donation. In the comments ask for the address and you will get it. 

The association fights all social injustice such as income inequality, Hoopleheads, the Tea Party, Republicans, and the list of miscreants goes on.

The Association believes poverty is a human invention promoted by the Republicans. By giving everything to the rich nothing is left for the poor. Since the Republicans have successful manipulated the simple minded a major goal of the Association is to educate the simple minded. This is a daunting task, but some headway has been made. 

So get out the check book and pen. Your money will be used to fight the Republicans on their home ground, right wing radio. Right here in Payson, Arizona we have KKKMOG radio. Democrats have bought time to counter the lies of the local Tea Party, the Republicans, and the Hoopleheads. We have made progress. One hour of air time is $200.  So far the program has been very successful. Some Hooples called in to the talk show and said " You guys are pretty smart".  Does it get any better than that. So do your part, give a Hoople a Christmas present, the truth.

Hoopleheads go down in flames

The town council passed the ordinance to keep the .88 percent tax. The Hoopleheads of course don't like the idea of taxes. Although the Hooples made a big effort to get the Hooples to the town council meeting few showed up and those that did were poor at presenting their case. As usual the Hooples claimed there is some fifty million dollars hidden that the city can use. The Town manager tried to explain the numbers to the Hooples, but you just cannot get through to them. 

Prior to the meeting both the normal people and the Hooples had to stand outside the door waiting for the meeting to open. Kadizzle tried to talk to the Hooples. Impossible, trying to converse with one Hoople (Steve Otto) he kept barking like a dog. Wish Kadizzle was fabricating this, but it is true. You can only feel sorry for the town council once you see the Hooples in action. The town manager who is doing a great job,  lost his patientencer with the simple minded and tried to interject some reality, but it is hopeless. 

Payson is lucky to have a town council that will do the right thing and ignore the loud idiots that come from the Tea Party mentality. 

Old People clearing trails.

Yesterday six old people headed down Deer Creek trail to take on the nasty cat's claw, and other inventions of the devil to tea humans apart. The youngest was 74.  Old goats making America great again. Kadizzle used the gas weed trimmer to beat back the ragweeds. Maybe we cleared two miles of trail. What if more old goats got with the program and did something useful? The Kadizzle pair has been clearing trails for ten years. Winky has worn out her knees and hips. Old Kadizzle is just plain worn out. 

Crumbling, that is what old age is. Like a bridge, a house or a tree, you just crumble. We are getting slower, the brain is failing, the belly is growing. 

Sadly as life enters the last quarter we are going backwards thanks to the Republicans and their evil greedy ways. Republicans have created more poor people, more homeless, more sick, more nasty, and more misery. The misguided Hoopleheads have been the tool of the Republicans. You can fool a Hooplehead easier than a five year old. The Hoopleheads were sold some silly ideas. The Hooples all think they will strike it rich, so the Hooples line up to get robbed buying lottery tickets. Hooples all oppose taxing the rich because every Hoople thinks he is rich or will be next week. It works, Hooples support the very people that rob them. In fact the Hoopleheads make sure the robbers have guns. 

Today Kadizzle will go to town hall to take on the simple minded. The usual Hooples will be there, squealing that they have to pay the tax the rich will not. The Hooples just can't figure it out. 

Listen to the Hoopleheads squeal

The Hoopleheads will show up at town council on Wednesday to squeal about a tax increase. Republicans have starved the country of income by letting the rich live tax free. Billionairs now only pay 4%. The result of the very fire the Hoopleheads set is burning down the town they live in. Payson has no money because of some silly law that sends all the property tax to the county. Town council has no choice by to try to raise sales tax. The Hooples cannot figure out that they shot their own foot off.  

Wealth Inequality in America. If you don't watch this don't even bother to take the test.

If only a simple minded Hooplehead or Dinger would watch this maybe the light would come on. 

Is the tide going out?

Today is donut day and the Democrats will meet and shoot the breeze. Tonight for dinner the Democrats will meet again for a Christmas party. Bob Dylan said you don't have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing, but who knows which way the wind is blowing. The polls show we may be headed to a dictatorship, but on the other hand Kadizzle does his own polling, and the more intellgent people who were Trumpers in the past seem to be waking up. The dingers are not leaders, they are followers. Dingers watch and listen to other dingers. There may be a trickle down of intelligence going on. 

On Friday the Democrats were on KKKMOG radio. That radio station is the bastion of the Hoopleheads. The Democrats blasted the Hooples with facts. What happens when the Democrats are on the local Fox News? Today will be interesting to see if we have new people willing to shed the Trump skin of disgrace. Republicans are welcome at the meeting and some have shown up venting their disgust about Trump. Today will be a good test. 

What can goats see?

 Kadizzle jut got back from getting his cancer cooked on his nose. Waiting to get cooked Kadizzle spoke with an old goat in the waiting room. The goat showed Kadizzle an article about Hunter Biden. The thought hit Kadizzle that the goat could spot wrong in Hunter Biden but was blind to the crimes of Trump. How does that work?The goat said Hunter Biden should be in jail. Kadizzle said loudly " right beside Trump".  The idea is to speak up in the presence of all the goats sitting in the loung. Bashful Democrats are the biggest problem. The Fox News goats never get out of the bubble. Any time you can prick the bubble of the Trump cult, do it. 

One more time

Lets start by insisting you watch the video below. Christie told the truth at the debate. How do the Hoopleheads and the dingers ignore reality?

Like every morning Kadizzle was just reading the NYT.  Get ready to puke because you have seen this written here too many times. Income inequality is the ROOT of the economic mess. Just read an article on how the young are hopeless. Why? You know the answer the rich stole it all. This is not rocket science. When Willy takes to much, Sam doesn't have enough.  Now you can take off and write about the homeless, low income housing, health care or whatever you want, but the failure to tax the rich is the ROOT of the problem. When the wealthy paid taxes and unions protected workers things worked. Spin your brains out, but that is the simple reality. Pretending like there is another cause to drug addiction, poverty, and homelessness, is a waste of time. If you went to dinner and one person ate all the food you could figure it out, but not the Hoopleheads. The Hoopleheads fall for every Republican lie. 

 The debate said it all. Three out of four tried to deny reality for the benefit of Trump, only Christie had the balls to say it like it is. With the truth spit in their face, the Hooples will still deny the truth. The dictator train is coming down the track and it will be Germany all over with Trump. Trump is already lining up the Brown Shirts.  

Chris Christie DESTROYING Trump at the 4th GOP Debate

Victory for the ears

She fixed the hearing aid in no time. Kadizzle went to Costco and thought he would wait weeks to hear again out of the right ear, but the nice young lady had it up an running in fifteen minute. Kadizzle highly recommends Costco for hear aids. Their price and service would be hard to beat. After  you buy them they clean them free anytime and fix them free. Costco also treats employees well and does not abuse them like Walmart. 

The Trump dictatorship is on the horizon and it is hard not to think about it. In Payson the Republicans have done a great job of censoring outside ideas. Kadizzle talked to a neighbor woman yesterday and realized that even though she thinks she is getting  broad spectrum of information, she is actually caught up in the Hooplehead storm. 

The carpenters are going nuts working on four houses in our neighborhood, and the fifth is getting the foundation as Kadizzle looks out the window. 

Outside the sun is shinning brightly and it looks like it will be a great day. Had a hard time falling back asleep last night and had to resort to a settler. It worked and Kadizzle slept until 7:30. It took almost half a glass of settling fluid, but it worked. You can get settling fluid in various sizes. Costco has very good prices on settling fluid. Kadizzle got two handles of gin for 31 bucks each yesterday. 

 

One Ear Adventure

Now only one ear works. Well sorta, maybe. Insanity combined with stupidity struck yesterday. Kadizzle decided to trim his beard. The insane procedure is to use electric hair cutting tools to trim the beard. A danger in trimming the beard is cutting the hearing aids in half. Simple solution, put the hearing aids on the hood of the truck. What? In order to keep beard hair out of the house Kadizzle uses the rear view mirror of the giant truck to trim the beard. 

Time to go to the movies with some friends. Forgot the hearing aids were on the hood of the truck. When Kadizzle got to the movie he thought about how loud they played the sound. This trigger a thought about the hearing aid. Oh, no, somewhere between the house and the theater the hearing aids fell off onto the busy street. Quickly Kadizzle retraced the trip. No luck. The hell with it Kadizzle watched the movie, but became obsessed with finding the hearing aids before dark. Once more he got up from the theater and got in the truck.

There it was one hearing aid in the intersection near the theater. How did it stay on the hood for a mile, but it did. Kadizzle drove back to the house looking for the other hearing aid amazed ear one was working and the fact that no one had run over ear one. No luck finding ear two until Kadizzle got back to the intersection. There ear two was intact. Ear two was apparently run over, but still seemed like it might work. Well, it does not. So only ear one works. 

All this means Kadizzle may have to got to Costco to get ear two fixed or replaced. Old, senile, and stupid is a bad combination.

Tilting the wrong way

 Here, deep in the land of the Hoopleheads the Earth is tilting away from the sun. Thankfully in f few weeks the Earth will be heading back toward warm. Winky is obsessed with out volunteer work for the Forest Service and will go down to the lake later today. Kadizzle has to get his nose cooked for the skin cancer trying to invade his body. So here we sit at about five in the morning. Kadizzle has slept more hours than his time awake in the last couple of days. Sleeping is great, sliding into a deferent world of strange dreams. 

The doughnuts meeting went well according to the co conspirator. The Hooples are struggling, but if Trump is elected the world as we know it is over. The local Hooples are upset about taxes. The dingers are incapable of understanding how the rich pay no taxes and the Hooples have to make up the difference. We now live in a world where one individual has more money than some small countries. Greed grows like algae on a lake. 

Albert Einstein proved math is key to the universe, yet your average Hooplehead has a very poor understanding of math. Kadizzle is no math genius , but does understand a few basic principles. Exponential growth is one thing a typical Hoople is clueless about. Most Hooples are clueless about compound interest. The one that really rapes the Hooples is probability. Every Hoople thinks he is going to win the lottery. A fifty fifty chance is not even that good, but Hooples will give away their social security check for one chance in eight thousand. The chance Trump will improve things is one in a million, but the Hooples will bet on the cult. 

George Santos Hope

 The expulsion of George Santos both brings hope and despair. Yes, he is gone, and a majority did the right thing. Now the bad news, there are 114 hard core rats, idiots, Republicans who voted to keep the rat. Amazing anyone would publicly support Santos. This is where we are in the United States. 114 blatant rats who will stoop to any level to remain in power. 

Back from the mountain

The trail crew is back from the mountain trail. Kadizzle decided to go because he wanted to add another notch to his trail list. Kadizzle has been all over the Seaira Anca Mountains. The highlight of yesterdays hike was the find of a strange site occupied by early natives. Walking up the trail Kadizzle saw what his missed going down. On top of a large rock was a collection of pot shards. Normally this means a dwelling site was nearby. Kadizzle figured as ususal the pot pieces had washed down from above so he started up hill to find where the site must be. There was none. How could there be so many pot pieces yet no visible remains of a site? Searching in futility for something that would indicate a dwelling was once here Kadizzle had no luck. Usually there is a reason a place is chosen. It might be for a view, water, or protection. None of these were present. The only reason anyone might have chosen the area was the abundance of acorns. In the end Kadizzle had to conclude early people came here to collect acorns. Perhaps they brought containers to fill with the seeds. That was the only thing that made sense. However, there were a couple pieces of decorated pottery. You don't use the good stuff for collecting seeds. The mystery remains.
