    … all over our planet we have installed massive arrays of radio telescopes whose purpose is to listen to the cosmos in our continuing search for life beyond our solar system … are they listening too … who are they … what will be their intentions if they listen to us too and seek us out … are they secretly communications with other life forms on our planet? Perhaps life forms we deem as simple are actually complex and masquerading as simple so as to deceive us until it is too late for us to mount a reasonable defense … could my Argentine Giant Cactus flower be such a being or device? It looks like it …

    Today was an absolutely fun day and this afternoon we caught the last showing in the planetarium at ASU in Phoenix … we were the only two in attendance and the program director gave us the choice of program to watch … we chose the one on exoplanets and it was amazing. Here is a link to a good article on the subject: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exoplanet and following that we got an extra treat of a short clip on Discovery which actually induced vertigo as you watched it … amazing. Many thanks to Bob Bristol for the use of his photograph of the galaxy M-51 which I used in this composite … beautiful work!

    Time for a wrap of the day and catch a few hours before the new day begins … search for beauty and you will find it … keep breathing so that you can smile and share your joy with others. Life is truly good.

    Cheers

    Ted

    But from the brooding beauty of the night, and daily dancing shafts of golden sun …
    The mystery and wonder of the world … that play the soundless music of the soul
    And fill the heart with memory’s olden dreams … From these will come at last your faith in God.
    — Max Ehrmann

    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.
