    It is the perspective … same subject matter as so many others have shot, but from a different vantage point and in this case from several thousand feet above it … Horseshoe Bend some miles below Glen Canyon Dam and the Colorado River is running with a beautiful deep green color. A very good day to be sure, both then and today. An intense microburst rolled through the neighborhood this afternoon with strong winds, heavy rain and a very cool lightning strike … about three hours after the outside windows were professionally cleaned. The rain blown by the wind did its thing on the sparkling windows and the lightning bolt took out a power pole and power to the house. A nice clean towel restored the windows and an APS crew restored power … nice!

    A friend stopped over for coffee this morning … some work on projects other than planned when the power was out and an enjoyable dinner with the Quiet Birdmen in Cottonwood a national group of pilots that just want to have fun, and they do. Tomorrow is devoted to working on the opal … the time for dreaming on the stone is past and the business of discovery is here. So by this time tomorrow we’ll know which side is up and pretty much what we’ll end up with.

    Time to wrap the day … closing with a Kenny G album … our friend Gail got us tickets to a concert at Universal Gibson Amphitheater back in the 80’s when Kenny G was the opening act for (I think) George Winston … the opening act had many standing ovations and it eclipsed the main act … I think that was about the last time that another act followed him and he and his group became the featured artists.

    Have a beautiful day and share the joy you find in each moment … your choice … always!

    I thought that time went sweet and soft and slow,
    And left no marks save those of gentleness
    That bound you to my life with strong caress;
    And you saw naught but all my soul’s deep truth,
    No fading bloom, nor form the years bent low,
    But ever still the beauty of my youth.
    — Max Ehrmann

    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.
