    … after I finished running the ridge and passed Agassiz Peak which is where I am headed in the photo above, I continued on and headed back to Sedona … there was not a lot of lift nor was there much sink on the way home … kinda buoyant. I crossed over the edge of the plateau in the general neighborhood of the Mittens … it is always a very good feeling to have the ground fall away from you and what can be a slim margin in making it home makes it a no brainer with the extra couple of thousand feet of altitude … in addition to having the altitude in the motorglider I had the additional assurance of an engine if I needed it (provided it would start). There were some very memorable flights when coming back to Sedona in the high performance sailplane when I slipped over the edge of the plateau with only hundreds of feet to spare. Anyhow, that was not the case here and with less than five miles to go, I am at 8,832′, about 4,000′ above the runway which is just left of my nose and above the propeller blade. The motorglider got an honest 30 to 1 glide ratio in stable air which theoretically would have been enough to get me to Cottonwood … five miles to Sedona was better 🙂

    Fun going through photos today and very little else accomplished … visits with friends I have not talked with in a long time … tomorrow will be as busy as today was not and Wednesday it is back to the lake.

    Have a beautiful day … keep breathing and make someones day a little better because you are here.

    Cheers,

    Ted

    I bring but this one common thought
    My life has wrought;
    That from the dregs of drear despair
    Still everywhere
    There is a joy I yet may sip—
    “Tis comradeship
    With all mankind, the high and low
    I know.

    There’s No Place Like Home (RULE)
    By Tommy Acosta
    Sigh.
    How often do I have to repeat myself? Home Rule, rules! Nobody wants to hear the phrase No Home Rule because it implies one does not have the right to rule their home. It sits in the unconscious and messes with the concept of one’s ability to rule at home. And then there is the word “imposed” as in State-Imposed Expenditure Limitation (SIEL). Who the heck wants the state imposing anything on our town? For that matter, who wants anyone imposing anything upon them, period! To impose means “to force (something unwelcome or unfamiliar) to be accepted or put in place.” And the synonyms are even worse: foist, force, thrust, inflict, obtrude, press, urge. The concept is distasteful to any freedom lover. Read more→
