    … Leroy, a Harris’s Hawk is seen here cruising part of the Verde Valley in search of a rabbit or other critter to join him for lunch … by cruising low over the brush he is able to see prey that is hunkered down under a bush or in a clump of grass and need only drop a foot or so to sink his talons into his lunch mate. Not much conversation goes on, the prey may be thinking something like, oh crap, whilst Leroy is thinking how full his tummy is going to be. Nature is satisfied, the rabbit has fulfilled his purpose as food for Leroy and hopefully had the good fortune to reproduce a number of times leaving many more rabbits to live and ultimately be food … and Leroy has done his part in controlling the rabbit population as well as having his food for the day.

    Another good day was lived and I seem to be slipping back into my 2AM to 3AM end of day … more natural for me, but more difficult to be out on the deck with a coffee cup filled with espresso by 6AM. Maybe I should just work through the night and then go out for espresso at 6AM?

    Into the Labor Day weekend … have fun and be safe. September, my favorite month of the year is here and soon cooler weather. The bobcat I sent out last night was out in the grass behind our home tonight. He and One, spent about fifteen minutes staring each other down. Finally the bobcat got tired of the exercise and got up and walked off … One growled, but thankfully did not attack this time … she has attacked three bobcats and chased them out of the area … I prefer her current reticence to do so … me thinks she does too, but she could  not resist a very throaty growl.

    Back Monday morning … have a beautiful day … smile!

    Happiness is to desire something, to work for it,
    and to obtain at least a part of it. In  the pursuit
    of beloved labor the busy days pass cheerfully
    employed, and the still nights in peaceful sleep.
    For labor born of desire is not drudgery, but
    manly play. Success brings hope, hope
    inspires fresh desire, and desire gives zest
    to life and joy to labor.
    — 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.
