    … this great blue heron decided to give us a regal display of his ability to enter flight with a most magnificent flair … no creature could display more beauty and grace while putting enormous energy into his lift off from the earth. Talons are just leaving the rock and those huge wings are compressing the air beneath and creating a powerful low pressure above them and into flight he goes.

    I saw Two (the Coopers Hawk we rescued) tonight and even got some photos of her. I saw her last Tuesday and she was flying … kinda … it was the flight equivalent of a human going for a walk after downing a fifth of Jack Black … it worked, but all over the sky. Tonight’s flying was precise and beautiful.

    Last Thursday afternoon as I was laving Basha’s parking lot, I heard the sound of helicopters … lots of them. I looked up and a string of Army Black Hawk helicopters were coming in for a landing at Sedona Airport. Up to the airport and out onto the ramp.Nine Black Hawks had landed for refueling … they were on their way back from training in California to their home base in Kansas. A lot of neat guys and their lift off with a weight of about 20,000 lbs each was graceful and I watched the string of them cross over Munds Mountain heading to the ENE on their way to Albuquerque where they were spending the night.

    Good night, thou sweet old world, good night;
    Enfold me in the gentle light
    Of other days, when gleams
    Of dewy meadows held my dreams;
    And quiet walks, as the day sank low,
    Dispelled each touch of woe.
    Let me forget these joys be gone,
    But feel them coming on
    From out the past, with laughter’s cries
    And dream-enamored skies
    Of old, One hand let me hold tight.
    Good night, thou sweet, old world, good night.
    — GOOD NIGHT by Max Ehrmann

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
