    … this Coopers Hawk is perched atop one of the wild olive bushes in our back yard. Over the last 20 plus years we have constantly trimmed it and it is now an impenetrable thicket of branches which provides shelter for dozens of smaller birds and keeps dinner at bay from this predator who loves to dine on the finer things in life, like quail, dove, pigeons and in fact any bird that will provide sustenance for him.

    The Coopers Hawk had spent several frustrating minutes trying to root a bird out of the bush with no success and took a break to try and determine what else he could do to coax his afternoon meal to pop out of the bush. Eventually he gave up and flew off … my tweety birds came out and resumed their meal of seed that I had put out for them.

    The Coopers Hawks are amazing predators and often take their prey in flight; some of their aerial combat flights are nothing short of amazing.

    We have moved the video presentation at the Mary Fisher Theater from March 12th to September 10th. The theater still is at a maximum capacity of 33 people and we are hoping that by early fall all the restrictions will be lifted and we can fill the theater to its capacity of 112. That will be at 5PM I believe, on September 10th … a Friday. Plans are to have a few surprise appearances for you too. Will keep you updated as we get closer.

    Into the weekend, and starting mine off with a trip to Lake Pleasant early this morning. Enjoy your days and smile. Keep breathing too, that is my favorite way to start the day.

    Cheers,

    There’s not much here in this old house, for plainly we have lived as fits our place. But now you go where all things may be won. Like you, ere now have gone the greatest men the old wide world has seen, from humble homes where each day’s tiring toil had little brought.
     
    The world we’ve seen but from afar lies now outstretched before you, and will yield its gifts if nobly you will always live, and we — ah! we shall watch and wait with hungry hearts to see you climb the towers of success. ‘Twill give us happiness to speak your name and say again the things that bring to mind your long past childish ways.

    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.
