    … I pulled in about 2:30 this morning and made it to bed around 4AM which is not that much out of the norm for me … Katie was very happy to see me, even after a week of being spoiled rotten by Jami … it was good to get some rest in my own bed! The trip was fun as I got to spend time with friends and family and re-acquainted with So Cal traffic delights … thanks to the addition of many more lanes, the freeways are about the same as they were when we left … it is a wonderous place … so is home … back with my friends and critters and a slower pace of life.

    The show at the Smothers Theater on the Pepperdine campus went well and looking forward to a return visit next year … incredibly talented and professional people in charge of the theater and they made everything work for me! Thankyou!

    A portrait of a Coopers Hawk in my backyard, perched just above the bird feeder looking for a quick meal if a hapless bird comes in for food. Coopers Hawks dine primarily on other birds but will substitute other creatures if the birds are not available. Until you have seen a Coopers in aerial combat with another bird, you haven’t seen air to air combat … they are masters of it and will fly through bushes and trees in pursuit of a meal.

    Below is a Black Hawk as he leaves a perch in a tree overlooking the fishponds at Bubbling Ponds Fish Hatchery in Page Springs. Black Hawks are large hawks and are typically found in riparian areas … fish and other creatures found in the vicinity make up their diet … they are regal in flight!

    Making another supercomputer for a friend … all the parts are here, so tomorrow another monster computer will come into existence.

    Into a new day and week and methinks it shall be a very good one … I can think of no reason why it will be other than that … it is a choice we make every day we are here. Keep breathing and smile … make someone’s day.

    Cheers,

    After the day’s struggle, there is no freedom like
    unfettered thought, no sound like the music of silence.
    And though behind you lies a road of dust and heat, and
    before you the fear of untried paths, in this brief hour
    you are the master of all highways, and the universe nestles
    in your soul. Therefore, in the night, sit still a while
    and dream awake, ere you lie down to sleep.

    excerpt from Ere You Lie Down to Sleep by Max Ehrmann

    Compassionate Sedona?
    By Tommy Acosta
    Sedona is known throughout the world as a spiritual destination point where the land and those who live upon it march to the beat of a different drummer. Compassion. Love. Inclusivity and enlightenment are pillars upon which this community is sustained. Yet, something happened a few days ago that made me question if this is really true. I was at dinner at a local restaurant with a fellow community resident, whom I had always thought to be one of the most compassionate people in Sedona. Quite off-handedly my friend asked me how I felt about a city plan to provide safe parking for people who work in Sedona but have to live in their vehicles because they cannot afford the rent to live here, or even in Cottonwood. I said I thought it was a great idea and my friend’s expression went from calmness to shock. “I can’t believe you are telling me that with a straight face,” he gasped, as he dropped his fork on the table. “Do you know what you are saying.” Read more→
