    … actually it was more like lake rage … I had been following this loon around for about fifteen minutes and I think he just got tired of me, turned his back to me  and flipped me off. It took a while, but I did get the message, but only discovered the true message after I reviewed the photos on my laptop. I’ve never seen the webbed feet of a loon before and was surprised to see that there is a beautiful pink color to the web portion of their feet. Their ability to articulate the leg is pretty amazing too … the legs are located at the very back of their bodies to help propel them efficiently when underwater.

    I got dozens of these shots and at first I thought that he might have been scratching his back or something, but not a single image shows anything that could be construed as anything other than flipping me off; perhaps that is where the expression giving someone the bird came from? The root system of a sycamore tree down in Phoenix has the same message … Corky and I saw it after a doctors appointment on a very hot day after her appointment and it gave us both a chuckle and the day seemed a little more friendly after that encounter.

    Have a beautiful day … keep breathing and smiling.

    Cheers

    I’ll not bother to reform myself today.
    Perhaps tomorrow — if it is raining,
    and I must stay indoors, and meditate
    on the shortcomings of life.

    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.
