    I’m starting to pick the phone up and I’m making a few calls to friends whom I have known forever … or nearly so, and enjoying the catch up and conversations a lot. A few I have called are no longer with us and they are missed, but they had a zest for life and will forever be a part of me as they continue their journeys through forever. Today I spent quite a while on the phone with a friend who I first met forty years ago and have not seen for about twenty years … he played a major part in my life and I’ll be seeing him again in a few months. I am probably as techie a guy as there is, but by gosh a regular land line phone is a welcome treat that cell phones (can you hear me now?) emails and text messaging will never match.

    A lot of work on images, opals and a trip to the ponds today; One had about an hour roaming around before she decided enough is enough and came back in, Nice to be out there with her and say hi to friends as they come by on the cart path.

    Stopped to see “Not just any John” on the way back to town from the ponds and started looking at some of his work with the thought of acquiring one. By the end of February, I will have a bronze from each of his daughters and I think there should be one of “Dads” in the collection too. Check his work out on his website: http://johnsoderberg.com and in particular I think this one is very cool: http://johnsoderberg.com/gallery.php?sc=18  You should stop by John’s gallery in West Sedona and see the dozens of bronze sculptures on display … there is a story that goes with every sculpture … and he also teaches classes on sculpting.

    Tonight I give about a thirty-minute presentation at the Sedona Car Club. Whilst down at the ponds this afternoon I realized that I have no photos of cars so the theme tonight will be, “Where Cars Do Not Go” whew! So there will be a lot of aerial shots and some land based but where cars do not go. Attaching the first of the images in the Power Point presentation … fun stuff!

    Have a terrific day and Smile

    Cheers

    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.
