By Ted Grussing… one of my favorite Sci Fi authors is Greg Bear and he had a series where there exists a singularity which is pretty much forever and a passage way to new worlds. The Argentine Cactus has a bloom that reminds me of that and every time I look into the bloom I think of that passageway into forever and the journey begun … and what a compelling siren call to enter the passage with promises of beauty held forth.

By Ted Grussing… on planet earth … places close to home where all you hear are sounds of wind … soughing through the trees … waves lapping up on the shore … birds and other creatures, but nary a sound of man. A place to refresh the soul, to think about catching a fish for dinner and to reflect on the beauty that is earth … we are alone here and need to come to terms with our life and place on earth and in time and what better place to do it than here … or anywhere where we…

When an IRA bomb, planted in the Grand Hotel in the seaside resort of Brighton, UK in October 1984, killed her father Sir Anthony Berry, she had a choice to make.

Joe, walked me through it this afternoon and we’ll see what happens … a little at a time. The good thing is that I was back…

Information & Perspective by Warren Woodward(September 9, 2015)In my last Court Case Update of August 15th, I described how, in my opinion, the judge in my case had acted improperly by attempting to dismiss my case for lack of jurisdiction, and that I had tried but was unable to change judges.

By Ted Grussing… whilst looking for a photo tonight I came on a folder I had not yet evaluated and it contains more than 900 images … hope to get rid of at least 600 tomorrow as reducing the portfolio even more is once again a priority. In that folder is this shot from 2010 and a very wintery scene of the peaks and beyond looking from the NE to the SW from an altitude of about 14,000 feet.
