    Today’s Photo from Ted Grussing Photography: … with Wings

    … after untold millennia man has created wings whereby we can mimic the flight of all those beautiful creatures that inhabit earth and have been designed for flight, be they large or the tiniest of insects. While we can duplicate and in some ways go far beyond what nature has created we do not come close to the versatility and maneuverability of natures creatures.

    The shot above was taken at Sampley airfield near Aquila when I was descending to do a high speed low pass across the field before pulling up and flying an abbreviated pattern and landing. Next below is a shot of Quinn, a dark morph ferruginous hawk (near eagle size) who was flying low across a field in search of a rabbit or? and below this missive a photo of a blue damsel fly perched on a stick protruding above the surface of Lake Pleasant and perhaps dining on an unseen tiny thing. There is nothing like flight and especially in a high performance sailplane … forever thankful for those who came before and brought forth machines wherein man was capable of flight.

    Way late and time to wrap the day … have an absolutely beautiful day … just turned the outside lights on and it looks like we have several inches of snow on the ground and all is silent.

    Cheers,

    Ted

    Though changed as are my songs from youth,
    A voice within my heart still sings,
    “Live thou in tenderness and truth,
    And love mankind instead of things.”
    And often in the crowded mart,
    With wrangling, selfish, slaves of men,
    These words like some old song will start,
    And bring me to myself again.

    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.
