    … absolute focus and concentration as this Drake Mallard is lowering his “landing gear” in preparation for his landing on a watery runway in less than a second … he nailed it and with his webbed feet acting as shoe skis and brakes, he settled into the pond with a great, but controlled splash! I love the built in, default, smile on his face … kind of a reminder about the effect that the smiles of we who have a choice can have on others who also have that choice. I like smiles!

    Kind of a crazy day … the planned learning and completion of my first video incorporating clips, photos and animated photos hit hurdle after hurdle with system crashes. Thanks to a terrific tech guy at Adobe, I got the problem resolved as after turning control of the computer over to him, diagnosed the problem as corrupted files in Microsoft Visual C++  apps and repaired them for me. Thanks to being able to follow him working, should the problem arise in the future I will be able to handle the problem myself … I tried, but lacked the knowledge. So finally about 2PM I got everything rolling and completed a 6 minute MP4 file for the ISO 100 meeting tonight and it was pretty good. Tomorrow after a run to Phoenix and Scottsdale I’m going to put the finishing touches on it. Premier Pro is becoming more familiar and intuitive to work with … really respect those who have mastered this program as it makes Photoshop look like an undergrad program.

    So, we’re into the start of my weekend … have a beautiful day and enjoy those you meet and greet … family, friends and strangers … may they feel blessed to have shared moments with you.

    Cheers

    Ted

    O Passer-by, O passer-by!
    Have you good words of me
    Upon your lips as I draw nigh
    To you each day?
    If so, I ask
    That you’d them say,
    For soon I’m gone and cannot hear,
    So speak the kindly word
    I beg, and smile while I’m yet near …

    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.
