    Today’s Photo from Ted Grussing Photography: Appreciating a Gift …

    … look beyond the cities at the countryside, the oceans, mountains and the starlit sky at night. Think of family and friends whose presence in our lives enriches every moment of our lives.
     
    The photo above was taken one night when I was returning from California and coming up US 60 from I-17 and in the town of Salome … a faint silver line shows where the railroad track runs and like the darkness closing in, the rails were silent … sometime, someday the rails will tremble beneath a passing train slipping through the softness of dark.
     
    Below is a shot I took of a couple of drake Cinnamon Teal … I was thinking of Synchronized swimming today and this looked like they were practicing a duet before they got in and swam it. Corky and I founded the Costa Mesa Synchro Sylph Swim team in the early 70’s … our girls were great competitors as were the other 60 plus girls on the team … early morning found me at our family business … to the pool late afternoon and with my two assistant coaches we ran practices … Corky brought dinner over to the pool around 5P and then it was off to law school … fun times!
     
     
    My friend, Ron Phillips, then Dean of Pepperdine’s School of Law gave me permission to skip graduation ceremonies because our girls and team was competing in Regionals that weekend … Ron is one of the finest human beings I have ever known.
     
    I started another project that has been nagging me … sifting through the best of the best and beginning to populate my website with photographic art. Check it out … I will be adding images almost daily for the next month or so. I have also added a new category which consists of large wall decor … images up to 8 feet by 4 feet.
     
    A new week is unfolding and methinks it shall be a good one … keep breathing and smiling as you wend your way through life this week. We didn’t create it and we will not end it … perhaps some day we will actually love others as we love ourselves … perhaps that is the problem, there are those who do not love themselves.
     
    Cheers,
     
    Ted
     
    To you, my boy, the only world I know.
    Remember this: whichever course you choose,
    You’ll sometimes turn about and walk awhile
    The other way, for none of human kind
    Is all of good or all of evil made.
    Let this and honest poverty not turn
    Your heart in bitterness and wild despair
    To hardened thoughts of Him who made all things.

    Chamber Effort to Target
    Affluent Tourists Derailed

    By Tommy Acosta
    If you make less than $150,000 and thought of visiting Sedona you are not the target of a recently proposed marketing effort by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, focused on luring visitors that that are affluent. A request by the chamber for the city to release $225,000 from its marketing contingency plan to be used for destination marketing targeting people with money, was torpedoed at the Sedona City Council meeting of January 24. The chamber had hoped to use the contingency funds to bring tourists to Sedona that are well heeled and willing to spend scads of money rather than focusing marketing efforts on “day trippers” who come to the city to hike or spend little more than a day here exploring, off-roading, browsing the UpTown shops and spending little cash while clogging up the roads and making it difficult for locals to get around town.
