    … three Neotropic Mergansers are at the ready … well they may have jumped the gun a little bit, but then no one told them that I needed them to assume the position and be prepared to leap to fit the caption … or it could be that I couldn’t find a shot with three birds or critters of any kind that would exactly fit the description. Methinks the latter! They are truly beautiful creatures and those turquoise colored eyes are absolutely breathtaking and I love the patterns on the wing and back feathers as well.

    For those who enjoy aviation, a friend sent me a neat YouTube video of a Pilatus CF-24 jet flight from Phoenix Sky Harbor to Sedona. The video is really pretty neat and you can see the way our local winds have an affect on it as it flies the pattern and lands on R21. It was only posted a few days ago, so perhaps it is a recent flight. Thank you Roger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XI8XoiCfXUM

    Another very nice day … woke up breathing and it appears that I will close the day out the same way … phew! Smile and make someone glad that you are here and that they know you.

    You can guess the caption tomorrow night … gotta find a photo that matches the fourth line of this child’s rhyme from the 19th century.

    Cheers,

    How oft you’ve said to-morrow
    Is time enough to speak a gentle word
    To one whose olden friendship time had blurred
    And set to naught sweet trysts of other years,
    When life and love and faith were pledged with tears
    That flowed as others’ griefs you heard—
    Tomorrow you intend to speak the word.
     
    When age has come, to-morrow
    You’ll speak with God to leave some kindly deeds
    Writ by your name that softened selfish creeds
    Of man’s slow moving love of brotherhood,
    That brought new hope to them who near you stood
    In life’s dark streets or sunlit meads.
    To-morrow you’ll ask God for better deeds.
     
    To-morrow, O to-morrow!
    Fast fall the fading years. A thought, a dream
    Of gentle words; of faith and love a theme;
    A smile, a step or two, and all is done.
    Quick is the veering stream of life full run;
    Yet in the crimson west still gleam
    To-morrow and to-morrow’s endless dream.
     
    — Max Ehrmann

    Baby Boomer Hippies
    Baby Boomer Blues
    By Tommy Acosta
    If you are a Baby Boomer and are reading this, STOP right now and click off the page because it’s one of the most depressing things I have ever written. But if you are in the mood to wallow in darkness and self-pity, read on. Baby Boomers, what happened? Has time so betrayed us, now, that we are but a decade or two away from finishing our stay here on this planet? What happened to those of us who grew our hair, protested against the unjust wars of our time and dominated three decades with the best music ever made and played? Looking back at videos of us at concerts, rocking to the Beatles, Stones, Yes, Prince, The Who, Metallica, Cream, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Beach Boys, Kiss, etc., we look at ourselves and we are fat, old, or bald. Sickness racks us. Body parts are failing, and we are getting closer and closer to our expiration date. We had dreams. We thought we would bring peace to the world. We marched in great numbers on Washington against the killing war in Viet Nam. We wanted to bring an end to evil. And we failed. Miserably. Read more→
