Insane Bus Ride

 Over and over Kadizzle tried to think of a word to describe the bus ride. Insane kept coming back. Kadizzle decided after talking to another tourist to take the bus to the pass. After a couple miles the bus stopped at a parking area. Kadizzle asked if this was the end. No we go on up some one said. Where is the road? It was a bike path. Wait, you are going to drive a full size bus on a bike path up the mountain? Yup, the sign said buses and bikes only. So here we go in a bus with only inches to spare before plunging to death. A twisting, turning road with a bus for a roller coaster ride. At every blind turn the bus blasts the loudest horn to warn the bikers. The road is so narrow a bike and the bus cannot pass. Pity the poor person who did not have the confidence to take this ride. The view was amazing enhanced with the feeling of imminent death. Any miscalculation by the driver and the game would be over. Anywhere this bus left the road was certain death for all aboard. We made it up and back for $54. It was worth it for the view and the ride Kadizzle will never forget.

The Alps

 Hesitant to spend the money Kadizzle was glad he did. The trip to the highest point in Europe was very well worth the price. The Gondola ride up to the cog railway in itself was hard to describe. From very high in the air hanging from a cable you just floated over incredible sights. Once at the top Kadizzle was again blasted with magnificent views of the Rugged Alps. Comparing the Alps and the Rockies kept the mind busy. The Alps won by a strong margin.

The Swiss are marvelous engineers. Building a railroad through a mountain top is an act of insanity. Once off the cable cat you board a cog railway that travels 26 minutes through a tunnel to the highest point in Europe. Disembarking you take an elevator to the Sphinx Observatory. Here you have that sensation of first seeing the Grand Canyon. You get to look down on Europes  glacier.

Kadizzle always wanted to see the Alps. They did not disappoint. Europe is overrun with tourists. Asians and people from India seemed in the majority. For once in a lifetime Kadizzle felt like a minority. The groups led by a flag carrier seemed odd.

To many people for an old hillbilly. Returning to Bumfuck Egypt in Arizona will be pleasant.

Gabe the on line runner.

 Somehow Kadizzle ran into Gabe online. It was probably on the blog Rob Port has. Kadizzle has written about runners before. Runners lie about you and when you confront them they run. In Payson you have Steve Otto, soon to be mayor. Also you have Michael Heather, and of course the king Gary Morris. These runners make Trump look honest. Of course Trump is there patron saint.

Now let’s get to Gabe. Kadizzle managed to call Gabe in North Dakota. The plan was to confront Gabe about his lying. Nope, Gabe was not going to be showered with the truth. Gabe talked over Kadizzle and refused to hear the rest of the story. Gary Morris had someone call Senator Cramer’s office and claim to be Kadizzle. The Capitol Police investigated this and realized it was a political set up.Gabe knows the truth, yet he continues to lie. The runners are all the same in this regard. Gary Morris had the audacity to lie in court. 

How did these little cowards get this way? Trump, Fox News, and the Republicans have made lying and distortion into a fad among the Hoopleheads. 

One thing all the runners have in common, when you say “Why don’t we talk about your lies? “ The runners are gone. 

Could it get worse? Hell yes. The liars in Payson have their own radio station, KMOG, Nazi radio. The host is just like the runners. If you call KMOG and confront them with their lies the host will hang up claiming you are disruptive. 

No one can beat Trump for lying. “They’re eating the pets in Springfield Ohio”Trump said during the debate. Of course lying on this level was gold to Gabe. Gabe would love to lie like that. Lying is a drug to little cowards. For an instant the little men become big. 

Imagine This

 Last night with the window open I noticed no noise from simple minded idiots. In Europe there are no jacked up pickup trucks driven by Hoopleheads. American obsession with cars is insane. At night the town is quiet. Europeans seem to care about wasting energy. Why doesn’t our country embrace public transportation? Who is winning the war against slum warriors? One thing for sure Americans are losing. On the trains here you don’t see the rotten mess you would in the U.S. The poverty and income inequality is inexcusable. Greed driven Republicans will be our demise.

Off to Switzerland

 Up very early, could not sleep. Euro rail tickets major hassle. 

Will be on train all day. Have done a lot of walking. Sort of figured out transport system. 

United States such a wasteful country, especially in regards to transportation. Also we are so damned fat. Cheap food is killing us.

Redneck Republican Hoopleheads have no concept of how more socialist countries work. Greedy Republicans are destroying our country. Our obsession with cars is insane. Such a pleasure to be in a city where cars are rare. Hotel very nice, but expensive. Europeans food is so much better. Amazing anyone would buy McDonalds or Subway, but it’s here. 

Two things, bikes and pretty women

 Bikes and pretty women. That is Amsterdam. The city is alive. So many healthy people because they all ride bikes. Amsterdam is light years ahead of the United States. Healthy people, energy efficient, and well educated. No goofy cars and trucks. One major  ,no mountains ,no forest. This is the retail capital of the World. They don’t make anything. They just sell each other fribbles.

Amsterdam amazing city

 No fat people here, everyone has a bike. Kadizzle recovers from long plane trips.

The runners

There is a special group of Hoopleheads Kadizzle calls the runners. These cult people love to lie. When you confront a runner about their lying that actually run from you. Once they run away the first thing they do is lie. Steve Otto soon to be mayor of Payson is a classic runner. At a town council meeting when Kadizzle confronted him he refused to talk, and then claimed Kadizzle assaulted him. Michael Heather is another classic runner, as are so many in the cult. Gary Morris is the king of the runners. Gary is head of the Republican Party in Gila county. Gary lied in court like it was going out of style. 

The runners know they lie and have no defense when confronted with the truth. If there was a runners convention it would be the Tea Party meeting. Show up there and confront the runners, and they will call the police. The runners show up on social media. Online they are brave souls, but ask them to confront you in person and poof they are gone. These are the guys who hide behind the bushes and throw rocks. These are the guys that tear down signs at night. These are the guys in the grocery store with guns. These are the guys with the MAGA hats. 

Trump Learns About Taylor Swift's Endorsement

Exploding Donuts

Donut meeting with Dems was terrific. Ran out of chairs. The fun part was standing on highway 87 before the meeting with a bullhorn. Yelled at the Hoopleheads, and thanked the normal people who gave us the thumbs up as we held the Harris signs. 

Brain dead Lori Mills was on the other side of the street with the Republican Hoopleheads. Lori came over to our side. It was great because Kadizzle got to explain to her with a bullhorn what an idiot she was fighting for Trump. Only and idiot woman would support a con man like Trump who wanted to take her right to her own body away. Lori said if I did not get away from her she would call the police. I moved away and she followed me. Figure that out. 

After the meeting on the way home Kadizzle saw a couple of Republican Hoopleheads. They were with a local bum. They had the bum putting up Trump signs. Kadizzle explained to the Hooples that the Democrats were going to offer a reward for the Republican vandals tearing down our signs. Kadizzle suggested to the Hooples that they spread the word we hired bums to watch the signs. Kadizzle asked the bum working for the Hooples if he wanted to guard our signs for $20? Bumore said he was interested. Now, this created a strange situation. The bum would be working for both sides. That is how crazy it has become, a welfare program for homeless people. 

 

Off to the old world

Today will be a day of prep to go to Europe. Not sure the old mind is up to it. Had a dream last night Kadizzle could not find his hotel. Is the mind telling the old man something.

The looming Trump disaster is weighing heavy. If Trump is elected by the Hoopleheads we are toast. Never in my life have I feared for the country more. Winky just played a segment where a reporter explained how Trump investigated his enemies the last time. Trump will use every tactic of a dictator. The worst thing of all is Trump will appoint lickspittles to carry out his crimes. 

Kadizzle has no real clue who reads this, but please get off your ass and talk to people, do whatever you can. There are far more idiots out there than you ever imagined. Many of the people you think are normal are in the cult. The cult is exactly that, a bunch of delusional people. Don't underestimate the power of a cult. The Mormons are the most successful cult. For that matter all religions are cults. Not going to leave out the Catholics. No cult can be them. Cults sell delusion and false hope. That never turns out good.  

Bum Security Inc

 Kadizzle found the bum he needed. Modern bums have cell phones and make pretty good money begging. A couple weeks back Kadizzle met a bum on the corner when Kadizzle was holding a Harris campaign sign by the highway. This fellow lives in an old beat up class c RV. Mr. Bummore has a great big hound dog. 

Kadizzle has explained he plan to Bummore about catching he Republican rodents messing with the Democrats campaign signs. Bummore will camp near the signs and keep an eye on them some of the signs will be rigged with a noisy alarm. Bummore will get $20 for camping near the signs, and $20 if he catches the rotten Republicans. 

This whole episode has got Kadizzle thinking about a bum security company. Bums are usually bums because they lack ambition. How much ambition does it take to sleep under a bridge and wait for an alarm to go off. If bums are good at anything it is sitting still or just standing in one place. Now for the capper. When Kadizzle asked Mr. Bummore for his phone number he said " Wait I will get you my business card".  Sure enough Bummore produced his business card. It is nice to see bums become more professional. 

Just imagine, you give a bum a few bucks at the intersecion near Safeway. The bums says " Here's my business card if you get the urge to give me more money, just call".  Bumming isn't what it used to be. 

Rim Trail #139 towards Devil's Chasm 9/12/24 What we did last week

The light of Freedom

 

Sign Wars

Political signs are silly, and the truth be known Kadizzle doesn't really like them, but the do serve a purpose. What purpose? Comfort. In a redneck town normal people need to know there are other normal people. Putting up signs with Jeff a normal person stopped and said it made her feel good to know other normal people existed. Of course the Hoopleheads and Dingers want the other simple minded people to know they are around. So it is like a dog leaving a mark.  

This gets us to the rotten Republicans that tear down the Harris signs. Democrats have more honor and leave the Trump droppings alone. Yesterday the Hooples sprayed red spray paint on the normal signs. It would be great to catch a dinger in action.  Today if Kadizzle gets motivated it may be more battles in the sign war.  

Where are the Bums when you need them.

 Rotten Republicans have been tearing down Democratic political signs every night. What can we do? Kadizzle wants to hire a bum to sleep under the bridge near our signs. The sign will have an alarm. The bum gets twenty dollars for sleeping under the bridge, and twenty more if he catches the Trump rats. 

However, there is a problem. All the bums have migrated. We just had a cold snap and there is not a bum to be found. Normally a bum is at Walmart or Safeway, but not today. 

Bums could easily be security guards. With our sign problem they could actually sit by the road with the bum sign and collect money. If you know a Bum looking for easy income please contact the blog. 

Normal Republicans

Simply as a person if they are going to vote for Trump. If they answer yes they are of subpar intelligence, and abnormal. Appearing more in the news and social media are normal Republicans repudiating Trump. These normal Republicans can be the answer to the cult. Cult Republicans do not talk to normal people, but they may talk to normal Republicans. 

Few people realize how many cult members there are. A couple different experiments have indicated to Kadizzle the number of cult people is too high to be comfortable.  The simplest way to smoke out a cult member is to hold a Harris sign on the highway or at the library. The cult member will show disgust on their face, give you the finger, or actually engage in conversation. 

The saddest thing is to see a young person caught up in the cult. The young high school dropout is an ideal cult member. Some of it may be that if dad is in the cult sign me up. An amazing element of the cult are the old Germans. If anyone should know better it is the Germans, but many of them are in the cult. 

Dingers at the library

Winky attended a presentation at the library. Kadizzle was supposed to pick her up so he sat in front of the library with a sign " Republicans for Harris ".   About seven people went by. Three were normal, and four were cult people. One would think people going into a library would read. Kadizzle challenged a couple of the dingers to go into the library and research their illusions. Nope, nothing would bust the cult fantasy. The Hoopleheads were sure people in Springfield were eating dogs and cats. A younger dinger with children said he had proof. Kadizzle asked for the proof. The dinger said he saw videos of people who said they saw it happen. Dingers are special when it comes to reality. 

The Hoopleheads are trying to say the economy is bad. The stock market is at an all time high and interest rates are coming down. Where is the proof. People are still getting tatous, the high school kids are driving nice cars, and the bars, casino, and fast food places are packed.  Where is the pain?

  

How many mean nasty people are there?

Friend Mike F. likes to stand on highway 87 with Democratic political signs before the Donuts with Democrats meeting. This is a busy traffic time because of everyone heading to the mountains for the weekend. There are three reactions. Grumpy Republicans shout something, or giving the finger, expressionless people trying to ignore, and cheerful Democrats giving a smile, a wave, or a thumbs up. 

The whole experience is like an instant political poll. This part of Arizona is redneck, Hooplehead heaven.  The results for reality are better than one would think. The split might be 50 50, but is more likely in favor of the grumps. One car was interesting. In the back seat were three women, and in the front three men. The three women gave the thumbs up and the men the thumbs down. That tells a lot. Kadizzle likes to stand by the traffic light. Some cars stop with the windows down and conversation ensues. Mostly nice people thank us for the effort. Of course the grumps say nasty silly things. The motorcycle men have to portray themselves as tough Trump idiots. Truck drivers are about fifty, fifty. 

Kadizzle took out the bull horn from the Democratic headquarters this last time. Shouting " Thank you, thank you so much for your support".  Also it was a chance to shout back at the Hooples. All in all it is a fun prelude to the meeting. 

Trumps lie about people eating pets made it hard for the cult. Even hard core cult people found it hard to go along with that nonsense, but then the true cultest were sure dogs and cats were being served for dinner in Springfield Ohio. 

Hopefully Normal people will prevail.

 This morning Kadizzle will meet with a Republican who wants to support Harris. Our country is in the worst peril in my lifetime. Stupidity is rampant. People are willing to believe the most absurd nonsense Trump can spit out. Don't believe your lying eyes seems to be the modus operandi. Can people get drunk on stupidity? Hell yes. Go out to the casino and watch people jam paychecks into slot machines. How does that work. How does a human mind think it is winning when the math clearly shows they dupe is being robbed. 

Trump plays on this desire to believe the absurd. Trump feeds his flock some silly fantasy and they buy it. You can think, without thinking is the magic of Trumpism. Trump will come up with a simple explanation for everything, why buy the more complicated version of reality when Trump has a discount 9.99 version that almost works. Trump say he may end the war in Ukraine before he even takes office. Now a sane person would say " why doesn't he?", but a simple minded dolt doesn't even have enough sense to ask the question. 

A joke type picture is another good example. Someone posted a picture of a pet shelter in Ohio that was empty. Now why would immigrants steal pets to eat when they could get them for free? The Trump mindset is special. All this reminds Kadizzle of being at a little restaurant in North Dakota. The Hoopleheads in the next booth were talking about the Northern Lights. One Hooplehead said the Northern Lights were reflections of the sun off the ice at the north pole, a great simple explanation, but absolutely false. This worked for the Hoopleheads, but it simply was not true. The real explanation was far too difficult for the simple minded. Trump understands the need to simplify things for idiots and he exploits the desire of idiots to think they know something.
