    Healing Paws

    By Ted Grussing

    … I got a nice series of this Great Blue heron coming in for a landing the other day; his feet were dragging through the water as he was rotating them forward to absorb the impact of landing. As he rotated his body to a more upright position he lifted his feet clear of the water and then planted himself stalling into the water about three feet forward of where he is in this frame. The feathers on top of the wing are being lifted up by the very low pressure area as he began to stall and lose airflow over his wings. Took the shot down at Bubbling Ponds in Page Springs and this was one of only a handful of birds I saw that day.

    One of those nice quiet kind of days visiting with friends and I think actually getting a few things done … rain in the forecast for the next several days so likely no flying this weekend … nice just knowing it is there and flyable. Started a couple of new books and one to finish (yes I will Steve J) so I have the weekend pretty well covered. Packing my “old” computer and shipping it tomorrow … One had a nice outing today too … time seems to be quiet and nice right now, a feeling that I hope stays for a while … it is always good, but there is just something so special, so undefinable and so nice about right now, like something new is beginning and if and where it leads is unknown … keep breathing, keep smiling and keep sharing your joy … life is cool!

    Back Monday morning

    Ted

    I go out into the night and stretch forth my arms as if to embrace one I love.

    I walk along streets which I have never before trodden, thinking I shall meet someone who is looking for me.

    The solace of the stars is sweet, and the stillness has a voice I understand.

    It seems to say, “Patience, work, gentleness,” and I walk on, still thinking I shall meet someone who is looking for me.

    The light in each house tells its little story of rewards.

    Weary, surfeited with dreams, and so solitary, I fall asleep at last, still thinking someone is looking for me.

    No Legal Traction on OHVs
    By Tommy Acosta
    In the upcoming fight between the city and companies that rent Off Highway Vehicles, the city is going to lose. Simply put, the city has no jurisdiction over state-owned highways. Period. It can manage its own streets and pass ordinances to promote public safety on them, but it can do nada to ban OHVs on S.R.179 or S.R. 89A. Who remembers the fight over dark skies and the light poles on S.R.89A? ADOT had its way no matter how hard the opponents fought. It’s the same here. Can one really believe that Polaris, with outlets across the country, would allow a precedent to be set where municipalities can ban OHVs on state-owned highways that run through their cities? The answer is a resounding “hell no.” Read more→
