    … 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

    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→
