    … I flew this morning and I flew again late this afternoon and in between the two flights I took One for a ride acclimating her for the long trip this fall and then an outing in the back of the house so that she could hone her predatory skills. Whilst out in back watching her hunt, a male House Finch settled on a yucca plant and just as I got the camera up and starting squeezing a shot he took to the air displaying his prowess in initiating flight. This was the only shot I got of him and even though I got some very beautiful shots of the red rocks in last light, nothing compares with the beauty of flight … he cranked and banked and I emulated it on my early evening flight a few hours later … think I’ll do it again on my flight a little later this morning too :+) talk about flaperons … wowzah!

    Got some great video today too including the first landing which I greased … I did the second time too, but the GoPro ran out of battery at about 50’ off the runway. Charging it now and will capture it again in the morning. Hopefully I will get it edited sometime tomorrow and will put it up on the website. Also got some Chrysacolla cut today, nice gemmy translucent robin egg blue material.

    Time to grab a few hours’ sleep before the cycle begins again; espresso, exercises and off to the airport. Have a beautiful day as we start the week and pay attention to all the wonderful critters we share the planet with … there are lessons to be learned … keep breathing and smiling too, we need more of that.

    Cheers

    Ted

    A bird flies through the sky, and I fly with it. I am each pearl of moisture sparkling in the sun.
    I lie lazy on the clouds. And I acknowledge my kinship with each winged thing.
    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.

    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.
