    … over the painted desert, in winter, a lunar visage awaits all who would venture out there. Water holes for cattle and trails to and from them made by cattle and vehicles create patterns that are amazing to fly over … and photograph. I took this shot in 2015 and not sure exactly where I was, but probably north and east of Flagstaff 30 to 40 miles or so. Anyhow, I like it and hope you do too … it is an extraordinary little planet we live on … and so much lies beyond and out there. Someday, perhaps …

    A very quiet day today, a friend over for espresso and scones this morning and the afternoon mostly enjoying a new book (to me) by John J. Nance, “Skyhook”; finished it and started “Turbulence” also by Nance. Just felt like spending the day relaxing. If you like aviation stories, this is the author for you as they are very authentic. About an hour out with One and then pizza for dinner.

    Up to Flagstaff in the morning and then home; another outing for One and a quiet afternoon with more time enveloped in a good book. Sometimes it is just good to take it a little easy and just kick the can down the road … projects can wait, enjoying life cannot.

    20180307_kendrickA drone started a forest fire in the Kendrick Peak area today and I’m attaching the news release concerning it. Looks like mostly grass land consumed, but if you fly these devices, please be aware that they can overheat and cause fires.

    Have a beautiful day today … a friend of mine that I used to fly a lot of cross country soaring flights with, after landing, used to throw the canopy of his sailplane open and yell “I’M ALIVE!!!” What a great way to start each new day … the simple joy of still being here and have another day to live and make the world a little better place to be, because we are here.

    Oh sweet content! Where is thy mild abode where I may dwell in endless peace?
    Show me the much sought road and give the lease.

    The answer came, “Then cease to vainly roam in search of me, for thou wilt find
    My quiet hidden home within thy mind.”

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
