    … the squirrel in the photo above seems to be checking the neighborhood out for possible predators in the area before exposing himself to the unknown and he is ready to bolt in an instant if something were to go wrong. Below we have an Osprey at Lake Pleasant, perched on a tree in the water and he has a beautiful looking catch … he is hoping we will leave so he can settle in for a late morning snack.

    Squirrels are food for a great number of predators and typically have a life spam of just over a year in the wild, but they do have a potential life span of about ten years …fifteen or more in captivity. Rabbits are about the same and the reason for the short lifespan of both is that so many creatures like to dine on (not with) them.

    Humans fare a little better, but regardless of what continent or nation state, all nations seem to end up with leaders in charge who like to make war on other nations and peoples … and it has always been so … always the young fight the battles and the elders who promote these conflicts benefit … each bullet fired means another has to be manufactured to take its place. I like the natural world, other than survival, no causes!

    It was a good day here and a lot of research on the value of various gemstones … been out of the day to day for a longtime and it is good to catch up. More tomorrow and work on the September presentation at Pepperdine University is well underway.

    Into the weekend for me and the plan is to be back Monday morning … keep breathing, smile and be kind … spend some time with creatures this weekend and taste the sweetness of the wild.

    Cheers,

    Ted

    I am one who looks at the stars when unchained from
    the workbench at nightfall.

    They are a sign that I am not ephemeral, nor you, nor
    you, whoever you are.

    The dawn comes and the dark and the sign sparkling
    in the brooding night forever and forever.

    Candidates
    The Apprentice
    By Tommy Acosta
    Watching the latest debate from end to end once again it appears that the future of the GOP rests upon the shoulders of Vivek Ramasamy. Not sure exactly why but he simply outshines the pack. He has fresh energy and is light on his feet. He’s smart, confident and slick. He has snap. Crackle and Pop. He is young. A successful businessman and fearless. He is like a young Trump apprentice, full of vim and vigor and ready to rumble. Everyone else on the debate stage appeared dull, cranky or lifeless. Halley looked like she was suffering from a terminal case of constipation and badly needs a wardrobe manager. Christie looked like someone who bit into an apple, found a half-eaten worm, and decided to eat it anyway. DeSantis just keeps getting more and more boring; a somnambulist on Percocet. Scott looked like a misogynistic woman beater talking over Haley. Pence looked like an undertaker at his own funeral. Burgum, who? Read more→
