    … I’ve found myself in a few planes (not mine) where you are heading down the runway, you are doing everything you can think of, but the end of the runway is coming up and you are still on the ground … slowly, ponderously you lift off and watch the ground slowly depart at perhaps a hundred feet per minute, maybe fly between a few cacti before you get sufficient altitude to clear earth bound obstacles.

    That was the case with this Blue Heron I shot in March after he speared a fish a little to big and he was running out of open water as he struggled to be free of the water and before he hit the bank of the pond coming up. Wing tips slamming into the water with each beat and feet contacting the bottom of the pond as he struggled to get airborne … truly a case of overloading the airframe, an underpowered engine and a high density altitude day. Subsequent photos in this series show him plowing through the grasses at the top of the bank and eventually gaining a little altitude and off to a safe place to enjoy his meal of fresh Razor Back Sucker.

    ‘twas a wonderful weekend and now the new week is underway, but first, Monday, the day at hand is to be lived … hope it is a beautiful day for you and others who interact with you … it will be your choice as to how the day goes … smile and choose well.

    Cheers

    Ted

    Hold high your head and be an honest man.
    May kindness guide your daily steps, and in each deed and thought
    Let Christ’s sweet soul always reflect itself,
    And love your fellow men as I love you.
    May words unkind and false ne’er pass your lips,
    Nor harsh and low ambitions drive you on.+

    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.
