    … the check list says that after rotation and whilst climbing out you retract the gear … gear up! The plan then is to leave them up and when landing extend the gear and have the landing devices deployed when you return to mother earth or if amphibian make sure you are landing on floats or the hull and not extend the wheels. In the real world an occasional pilot doesn’t check this off and you see some interesting skids down the runway, or if wheels down in a seaplane an abrupt and dangerous sudden halt and flip.

    Our natural aviators have checklists built in, and it is fun to watch them do their takeoffs and landings too. This Wood Duck has just jumped and is in his second wing beat as the right foot is nearly secured and the left foot is making its way up too. Flight is underway … and this day is being concluded … an early departure for the lake in about six hours.

    Have a beautiful day … keep breathing … search for beauty wherever you are, because it is there!

    Cheers,

    Ted

    For a few hours here in the still morning I wash myself clean of civilization, and purge myself of things and the accumulated rubbish of time.
     
    I see all as one, and nothing repels me, as this new day climbs noiselessly out of the valley of the night.
     
    Peace lies over the world and over the world of my soul.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
