    … we all make them every day … some have a substantial impact on life and others are more trivial, like which seed shall we select for our next bite. That appears to be the decision this quail is pondering in the photo. Again a shot from the backyard of Eric … Eric has established one of the neatest places ever to shoot hummingbirds and other creatures, and then shares it with others so that they can get amazing shots. Sharing … life is a better place having such people in it.

    The Coconino National Forest is doing restoration work in Lockett Meadow using mechanical means to thin and remove trees and fuels from the area sans fire. Got to give them credit! Also the Kaibab National Forest is doing mechanical thinning and fuel removal from the steep slopes of Bill Williams Mountain utilizing helicopters and other means. Again no burning. The cause of the Museum Fire has been determined to be from a mechanical source during operations in the area. After they had worked in the area, they waited for an hour plus to make sure that nothing had been started, but this smoldered unseen and later ignited. Total unexpected accident.

    The USFS has a nearly impossible job to do sometimes. One of the big problems is that the fuel accumulation on the forest floor does not decompose and return to the soil ass it does in many other areas; our forests are just to dry and decomposition simply does not occur. That said, fire is natural, but not constantly.

    Short one tonight … Max Ehrmann photo op (the sculpture) tomorrow along with a tour of the Ehrmann historical museum. Photos to follow.

    Have a beautiful day … keep breathing and smiling.

    Tonight, I looked at the moon for a while. There was a faint circle around it.
    A friend came by and asked what I was looking at. I pointed to the moon.
    “I don’t see anything”, “The moon,” I said.
    He chuckled and went on. He will report me as growing queer.
     
    The mystery of the night! And our own mystery! Who knows what we are?
    No science has yet grasped us.
     
    The moon … the beautiful mystical moon … playing nightly to empty seats!

    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.
