    … humans have done a miraculous job in creating a complex food gathering, processing and distribution system for the primary necessities of life and especially this is true with food … most of us never have to think about where or how we get our food, we simply go to the grocery store and choose from an incredible variety of food products (my current preference is Entenmann’s chocolate covered donuts) bring our choices home and then feed our families.

    It was not always so for us, and we used to be much closer to what the other species on the planet still do on daily basis … that is to daily gather food so that we can make it to the next day. Above is a photo I took last Thursday as Lo IV carried his hard-earned dinner of cottontail rabbit into the arroyo for a hard one feast. I had thought about making some humorous comments concerning the manner in which he is gripping the rabbit, but decided to take a pass on it 🙂

    Below is a photo I took on my last outing on Lake Mary and it shows a variegated meadow hawk dragon fly as he is taking off from the surface of the lake after engaging in an incredible battle on the surface with a blue darner dragon fly, he prevailed and is taking his prey off so that he can consume him for breakfast. The prey is almost the same size as the predator and yes, dragon flies do eat each other!

    Into a new day and week … methinks it is going to be a very good one! Smile, keep breathing and enjoy each moment you have the privilege of being here … also that we are high up on the predator list …

    Smiles,

    Ted

    Let saints declare I shall not dare
    or burn in the pits of hell.
    Let loud men scorn and women mourn
    Whene’re my tale they tell;

    I cannot stay in the deadened way
    Of sorrow, hide-bound creeds;
    I’ll win the smile that shall beguile
    My heart where’re it leads.

    Away with tears and shrinking fears
    That breed from the gossip’s tongue.
    I’ll live today in my own way,
    Though night shall find me hung,
    And my good name be dragged to shame
    And damned for evermore;
    So here’s farewell to them that tell
    My tale when all is o’er.

    His Last Toast by Max Ehrmann

    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→
