By Ted Grussing … well perhaps not that much for those who surf the ocean waves, but for sure it was for a pair of Hang Glider pilots who were working “ridge lift” in front of the bluffs along the California Coast as we were driving down to Monterey for brunch after church. When the wind is more or less perpendicular to a bluff or hill you get what is known as orographic lift where the wind is bent upwards when it flows into the bluff. This is a very neat form of lift and you can soar up and…

Information and Perspective by Warren Woodward(January 27. 2015) Last Sunday I sent out an email with a link to an article about APS getting U.S. congressmen and women to send letters that APS had essentially written for them. My email said this: More APS sleaze, in case you missed it. Big money to both Democrats and Republicans to get what they want. http://azcir.org/2015/01/16/aps-employee-drafted-anti-solar-letter-signed-by-az-congressmen/ I got a reply from State Senator Judy Burges saying this: Warren: Would you be kind enough to tell me just where you fit into this issue and how this letter impacts you directly? Thank you, Judy Read…

By Henry Twombly, Sedona Resident(January 23, 2015) I was both amused and horrified to read the [Sedona] City Council’s wishlist. I was amused by the variety of unnecessary projects that would cause senseless discretionary spending.

The idea of course is to keep the images that are best and delete anything with even a slight problem.
