    … I get to spend a day at home in the rain and perhaps contemplating the need to reform myself, however unlikely that may be. More than likely I will be sorting through gems that I have not looked at in a long time, working on photographs for calls and enjoying the gentle art of doing nothing … thinking, reliving great soaring moments and thinking of new sailplanes … and the additional time I can spend pursuing my love of wildlife shooting when I am not chasing clouds.

    And I got this shot just as it started this afternoon … I finally decided that it is time to pursue more of the wildlife and get the inflatable boat so I can get on lakes and shoot from water level. My friend Russ is handling the sale of Mariah as I continue to fly her until she is sold. And there is always another sailplane to be bought if I decide I made a mistake at some moment down the road … like this one that my friend Jaroslav makes: http://www.hph.cz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=54&Itemid=60&lang=en I love the long wings and high glide ratios of these ships and the jet engine is pretty cool too; he also makes the 304CZ which was the ship I owned before Mariah.

    A couple of neat soaring videos for your pleasure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_321193&feature=iv&list=LL8riJvrsMiQ4hfi-jvNdVVQ&src_vid=UK5XVGV8eM8&v=0QyKsZBUrMI and an early John Denver one at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4ChlFnXctE

    Although I am very much a cat person, please do watch this video that Purina has put out … a good message of healing from Puppy Power and they are donating a pound of dog food to a shelter for every view the video gets so make sure you watch it again and again and forward it on to others. Besides it is one of those feel good videos that a lot of people need right now … puts everything in perspective. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ SJoE_lNQdHU

    Four links is about the most I can put in an email without triggering everyone’s spam filter so that is it for links. I had a beautiful weekend, flying down to Scottsdale a couple of trips to the ponds, visits with friends and a couple of naps. It is supposed to be raining when I awake and if so the plan is to shut my eyes and listen to the rain on the roof and skylights and go back to sleep. At some moment my body will insist on an infusion of espresso and then the day will start.

    Have an absolutely beautiful day … Thanksgiving is coming and I just took my turkey breast out of the freezer to thaw in the fridge … golden potatoes riced with butter and gravy and a salad to top it off. Yum!!!

    Remember to remind yourself what a cool thing it is to be breathing and let a smile work its way across your face.

    G’nite

    I bring but this one common thought, my life has wrought;
    That from the dregs of drear despair, still everywhere
    There is a joy I yet may sip – Tis comradeship
    With all mankind, the high and low
    I know.
    — Max Ehrmann

    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.
