    What a fun day … on the way down to Phoenix we stopped by Turf Soaring to say hi to friends and had a somewhat uncertain greeting from Bee Bop, Roy’s Cockatoo. Memories of being terrorized by Bee Bop flooded back as she started tapping the perch and sharpening her talons … she seemed a little different today … Gary who owns the soaring operation there drove up and Bee Bop became a little anxious and as he approached us on the deck she began to display for him spreading her head feathers like a royal crown and then he held out his hand, she alit on it, made some silly moves and then snuggled into him. Bee Bop has found her love and her personality has changed … what a transformation … she is now off of my must kill list and added to the wonders of the world … the power of love!  :+)

    Next stop was the Desert Botanical Gardens and the only issue we had is that it was early afternoon,  is located in Phoenix and it is July … still we enjoyed it and I got this shot of a hummer taking nourishment from a flower that had yet to be intimidated by the intense heat … or perhaps it had been and was just eager to get it all over with. We lasted less than an hour and we were on our way to the Arizona Science Center and in particular the Planetarium and cool indoor exploration of the cosmos. We took in two shows and then a light dinner and a bicycle/taxi ride around the area. What fun. Check out the science center at and do yourself a favor and head down there and check it out yourself.

    Home and One … now some sleep and then another excellent day will begin … first sign it shall be so is if I find myself still breathing … what a great way to start a day :+)

    Smile , laugh and give thanks for the day … and share your joy.

    Cheers

    For life holds cheers as well as tears,
    Take this old toast from me:
    This world a riddle hard you call …
    A mess from which you fain would shrink?
    Perhaps ’tis wisdom, all in all.
    To learn to laugh as well as think.
    — Max Ehrmann

    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.
