By Ted Grussing I took this shot in January on a late afternoon flight on the east side of the San Francisco Peaks … in the left foreground you have a beautiful look at Sunset Crater with the view that I get of it; due to a collapse of part of the crater rim on the east side the caldera is heart shaped and this is a feature you will never see from the ground and that along with its sometime reddish color makes it the perfect gift for Valentine’s Day.

By Ted Grussing I really have to send a photo of my brothers bird feeder out one of these nights … I won’t even have to trick it up, it is that unusual … it defies reason … it is so well protected that only a few species are able to obtain food there and our model tonight is one of the prime offenders that the barbed wire, spikes, cleared trees, metal flanges and more are designed to keep out and away. I suggested mini machine guns, but Bruce declined and methinks he is considering cutting the forest down to…

By Alice Madar, Director of Finance and Administration, Sedona Charter School Sedona AZ (October 27, 2014) – Last year, Sedona Charter School was facing a major challenge: preparing for online state testing. The school’s single Internet connection was insufficient even for basic educational programs—the system would crash or freeze on a near-daily basis—and the classroom computers were outdated and unreliable.
