    … and still looking, finding and sharing the beauty of the natural world … the photo above is of an eared/black necked grebe swimming and looking for food down at Lake Pleasant and below a photo of a drake cinnamon teal exploding into flight from one of the ponds at Bubbling Ponds Fish Hatchery in Page Springs … love the beauty of each bird and what fun being close to them.

    A friend and I went up to Lake Mary in the Flagstaff area this afternoon and I was blown away by the sheer volume of water in the lakes. In the 31 years I have lived here full time I have never seen them that full. The upper lake is full and spilling over into the lower lake and the lower lake is full and spilling over into the creek that drains it. I would love to launch my boat into the lower lake, but the boat ramps are several feet underwater! Shot some birds that were ridge soaring on the eastern side of Mormon Lake and that lake to, is absolutely at the highest level I have ever seen it … like a mini ocean! A lot of snow still on the ground too!

    Another amazing thing happened this weekend … for the first time in like forever, I have a dishwasher that actually cleans dishes. The GE Monogram was hauled off after a distinguished lifetime record of never actually having cleaned a dish! What a concept!

    Into a new day and week … smile and of course continue breathing … life is good!

    Ted

    I know I do not understand this world,
    This universe of life and growth and death,
    I do not damn the Maker, saying still
    Within myself that surely all is well.
    The myriad stars shine nightly in the sky,
    The earth yields forth her budding brood in spring,
    And always dawn and noon and dark succeed;
    Volcanoes burst and flooding rains descend,
    And sprigs shoot forth where barren winter lay,
    The piping winds bound through the bending trees,
    And withered leaves again return to earth;
    Soft lips grow hard and tresses gold turn grey;
    Sweet babes are born, and stooping, aged men
    Depart into the soft and silent night.
    And not one jot of all this can I change.

    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.
