    … whilst waiting for a winner to be declared in the presidential election tonight. Pretty exciting stuff for a pretty amazing country and people. I do think we could make it higher drama by reinstituting the lost tradition of dueling between candidates … oh well, whatever the outcome, we shall continue with life and remember the beauty that surrounds us.

    A good history on dueling is at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_duels#United_States and I was surprised that even Abe Lincoln was engaging in a duel when their seconds were able to convince each of the parties to not shoot each other.  

    I have been working on this image off and on most of the day. One of the aerial shots I took of the tailings and leftover messes from the mine operations at Jerome, kinda jumped out at me like a flower or such. You only get those beautiful neon red and blue ponds of water (?) at mining sites and there were a lot of other colors, blues, reds and everything in-between; the roads and grading, and the thought occurred to me that it could be like the melting pot in space where all of this stuff originally came from, so I floated it out in space in some beautiful galaxy and maybe millions of years from now it will return to earth particle by particle … I’ll be watching.

    Have a beautiful day today, go for a walk, take a look around you, family and friends who love you and be grateful for being alive and living in a country where we square off at the ballot box and not with firearms.

    Cheers and share a smile with those you meet and greet … you’re alive!

    I like this one from Max and sent it out three years ago … Corky continued her journey beyond this life on November 8th 2013 … maybe that is why I love the stars and night sky so much. A love that we told each other is forever … and forever after that.

    At nightfall…though I know I shall sometime no more
    Open my eyes to the light or day, I am one who looks at stars when
    Unchained from the work-bench at Nightfall.
    They are a sign that I am not ephemeral,
    Not you, nor you, whoever you are.
    The dawn comes and the dark and the sign sparkling in the brooding night,
    Forever and forever.
    — Max Ehrmann

    One Bullet Away

    There’s a storm cloud coiling over America, and most don’t see it yet. But it’s there. Dark. Imminent. Unavoidable. Call it fate, call it consequence—but don’t call it fiction. The divide is real. And it’s calcifying by the hour.
