    Today’s Photo from Ted Grussing Photography: A Cold, Cold Heart

    … we’ll begin the new year with the dreaded message, “cold cold heart!” That would be the photo of Sunset Crater and a portion of the San Francisco Volcanic Field looking out to the ENE from west of Sunset Crater. The painted Desert provides the background for the shot. Sunset Crater erupted a mere 950 +/- years ago and at some time between then and now the eastern most portion of the rim collapsed. This gives a heart shaped appearance to the cone when viewed from above and to the west of the volcanic cone. On this January day in 2019, it was a very very cold looking heart … iced over!

    Below is a shot of a Bald Eagle coming off a rock perch down at Lake Pleasant taken in January of 2022 … a photo of awesomeness in action … weighing in around 10 pounds and a wingspan over seven feet you are looking at a lethal flying machine! It is nesting season for the eagles and the portions of the lake where they nest are off limits through June 15th … luckily for me they do come out of the restricted area to get food and be photographed.

    Into the new year … 2023 … yet another marker in the time continuum …methinks it is off to a good start.

    The original mission of Life magazine (the pictorial magazine) as stated by its founder, Henry Luce on November 23, 1936 … to enable the American public “to see life; to see the world; to eyewitness great events … to see and be amazed; to see and be instructed…” This is one of the things that photographers try and bring to and share with others … the amazing beauty of earth, the life forms we share the planet with and all this as we travel from we know not where to where we do not know.

    Have an absolutely amazing day as we travel on our own starship through space.

    Breathing and smiling!

    Ted

    Give me a few friends
    who will love me for what I am; and keep ever burning
    before my vagrant steps
    the kindly light of hope. And
    though age and infirmity overtake
    me, and I come not within
    sight of the castle of my dreams,
    teach me still to be thankful
    for life, and for time’s olden
    memories that are good
    and sweet; and may the evening’s
    twilight find me gentle still.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
