    … I began a shoot of the Petrified National Forest in June of 2015; then there was that dust devil on July 1, that altered my direction of travel after landing and, well, Mariah spent an inordinate amount of time out of the air and the project kinda floundered … time to complete this project too and spend a few days this fall finishing it up. I do have some very nice shots from the first day of shooting though including this one which is in the basin below one of the main overlooks. I never cease to marvel at the abstract beauty that the forces of wind, water and time create … and it is an ongoing process … thousands of years from now the view will likely be much different than the present.

    Nothing is constant, but change and it amazes me how so many want to preserve the status quo … restore forests … prevent erosion … prevent flooding and movement of the earth … and as proof of our ability to control the forces of nature we build cities such as New Orleans below sea level, then express amazement when bad things happen. Such is the folly of humanity! But hey! We will stop change … sure … I don’t think we have ever been able to stop a single drop of rain from falling, but we do know how to build a roof.

    Hotdogs and beans for dinner turns a person to philosophical thought … the intention was to celebrate the day with dinner out, but I met a friend I haven’t seen in a long time in Basha’s and we spent a couple of hours catching up with each other and then it was a wee bit late, so a quick trip home, three hotdogs on a paper plate, a small can of grilling beans on top of them, 2 minutes 34 seconds in the microwave and a very tasty dinner. A much more pleasant evening than I had planned. Life is good!

    Another morning of rain and a day spent working on photos … maybe the WX will be good this morning. So, this is a wrap of another day, a little sleep, much espresso and perhaps a return to the sky.

    Hope you had a terrific day and if you are still breathing I would call it a great day … may it continue!

    Cheers

    And lastly give sweet sleep
    Closed sight, no fright
    That fears will o’er me creep;
    And now a last goodnight.

    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.
