    A couple of days ago I stopped by the ponds for a walk and to see if anything new was hanging out down there; the Widgeons and a few Ring Necks have started coming in, some Blue Herons were there for the plentiful supply of fish and I got some neat shots of a Kingfisher hovering looking for a fish dinner below him … then while walking between a couple of the drained ponds I was startled by an explosion of feathers as at least a hundred birds erupted from some bushes in the drained pond and began moving out as a swarm.

    This isn’t exactly the greatest shot in the world but I really like it because it captures the explosive moment and the way these  beautiful creatures fly as one … check out how all their bodies are in nearly a perfect parallel line; just the front few have a slight upward tilt and the ones behind followed the change of course. I’m sure most of you have seen the videos on YouTube of the starlings murmuration … it is as though they fly as one with a single shared mind. Ain’t life great? Methinks so.

    Another terrific day is winding down and some sleep is in order … Anthony is playing at the Hilton tonight and I think he starts around 6PM … check out the video trailer of ours at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVBtk8LQrwo&feature=youtu.be . On the 14th of November you will be treated to about 90 straight minutes of this audio/visual experience and the best part is that Anthony will be there performing live … and there will be a musical treat in there somewhere such as you have never seen or heard from Anthony. Get those tickets ordered!

    That’s it … another day of breathing, smiling and giving thanks for the opportunity to experience life … mostly very good. Share your joy with others :+)

    Cheers

    The moon is passing in and out of the clouds,
    making a shadow-checkered day of the night,
    and breaking the sky with shafts of gold.
    All silent, the universe is doing its work- beautiful
    mysterious, religious!

    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.
