    … the rest of this year is going to be devoted to photos I took that I liked a lot when I shot them, but somehow lost the competition on the way to the email on any particular day. I took this shot in mid-September out behind our home, and whilst One was engaged in something else, this young squirrel was dining on a peach from the peach tree out back. Over the years that tree has produced tons of peaches … consumed by humans and critters, so it was just another relaxing afternoon and I got the lunch break.

    It has been a quiet few days, visits with friends, lots of rest and reading. Still caught up in military history books and I am amazed at how sheer chance has decided so many battles … fortunately our mistakes were generally less egregious than those of our then enemies … today they are allies, friends and trading partners without whom the modern era would have trouble functioning … perhaps in another parallel universe there was a different outcome and in yet another the conflicts did not occur. Regardless of the wars, conflicts, police actions and interventions there are scenes like this everywhere on the planet … life continues and it is good.

    Thanks for all the beautiful emails this week, over 200 in the last day and I will try to answer them all before years end.

    Find time for a snack, take a break and lean up against a tree trunk and watch thee grass grow … there is a lesson in watching such great moments evolve as we absorb what peace and quietude as we can.

    Keep breathing, keep smiling and find the time to be alone with yourself.

    Cheers

    So each one to his wish, and as for me,
    I sit tonight and wait
    To find the answers to my soul in me,
    And in the beauty of the sky and sea.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
