    … 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

    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.
