    … 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.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
