In the panels of “Mutts,” there’s the long-delayed sight of freedom.<br /><br />Patrick McDonnell, the cartoonist who draws the popular strip, is freeing his character Guard Dog, liberating an animal who has become for decades a symbol of the cruelty of dog chaining.<br /><br />“I think it just hit me that I can’t do it forever and that it has to happen,” McDonnell told The Associated Press ahead of the publication of Thursday’s panel showing Earl’s owner kneeling beside the dog and announcing: “We have to remove this chain.” On Friday’s strip, it will be gone.</p><p>“I had a vague idea what the story was going to be, but I finally took some time and said, ‘Well, what is that story?’ And I was happy with what I came up with. So I said, ‘Now’s the time to do it.’”</p><p>“Mutts” premiered in 1995 with two heroes — the small canine Earl and the feline Mooch, fond of saying “Yesh.” There’s also Woolfie, Sid the fish, Crabby, Sourpuss and Butchie, the ever-vigilant owner of the Fatty Snax Deli.<br /><br />Guard Dog was added about a year after launch as McDonnell explored the idea of having an antagonist for his heroes.<br /><br />“I started in my sketchbooks drawing a tough dog,” he says. “I drew a big gruff dog and I put a studded collar on him. And then I drew a chain. And when I did that, it changed everything. I realized that it wasn’t a villain. It was a tragic character.”</p><p>For years, Guard Dog sat in the unmowed grass of a neighborhood lawn or howled at the moon, alone and philosophical. In one strip he holds a piece of paper that reads “Guard Dog’s To Do List” with only one item: “Remind people of man’s inhumanities.”<br /><br />Doozy, a neighborhood girl, regularly visits the mutt on her way to and from school, bringing something to brighten his day: an umbrella, treats, a hug, a kind word and a reminder that he isn’t alone. One frigid night, he was shivering and she brought a blanket and a kiss.<br /><br />Fans of Guard Dog would regularly plead with McDonnell to free the mutt but the artist was also lobbied by animal welfare groups to keep the dog chained as a way to increase the spotlight on the issue.<br /><br />“I always felt like, ’Geez, if I inspired even one family to bring the dog in the house, that it was worth doing. I know it was tough on the readers and it was tough on Guard Dog,” he said.<br /><br />“You know, whenever I drew him in my sketchbooks or if I did a talk, I always drew Guard Dog free. So part of me felt like he was an actor playing a part.”</p><p>n the lead-up to Guard Dog’s freedom, McDonnell crafted a multi-comic seven-week storyline in which the owner of Guard Dog moves away, leaving the dog utterly alone. The other animals and kids rally to save him.<br /><br />“Mom,” says Doozy in one new strip. “They kept him on a chain and then they left him alone to suffer. I hate people.” Her mother responds: “But what about those who devote their lives helping animals like Guard Dog?” Doozy, still in tears, reconsiders: “I love people.”</p><p>As of 2022, 23 states and the District of Columbia have laws on dog tethering or chaining, with variations on the length of time, the weather and what type of collar can be used, according to a study by the Michigan State University College of Law. In addition, many cities and counties have implemented their own laws that restrict or regulate tethering and chaining.<br /><br />The landing page for “Mutts” has resources on adoption, on animal welfare groups and how to advance anti-chaining legislation. McDonnell was a member of the board of the Humane Society of the United States for 18 years and currently serves on the board of The Fund for Animals.<br /><br />“I can’t wait to draw a happy Guard Dog,” he said. “He still has this great dog heart — loving life and loving the characters who visit him. It’ll be nice to see him in ‘Mutts’ without the chain.”</p><p> </p><p style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Guard Dog | Mutts Wiki | Fandom" class="rg_i Q4LuWd" data-ils="4" height="400"

Dale was a well-known Colorado cattle rancher and conservationist. Dale's life will be celebrated at a Memorial Service with reception following on Saturday, October 22 at 9:00 a.m. at Our Lady of the Pines Catholic Church, 11020 Teachout Road, Colorado Springs, CO 80908. Dale is survived by his beloved wife Janine, sons Alex (Fiancé Sarah Cannady) and Tom Lasater (Spouse Peiching Lasater), two grandchildren, Thomas and Elizabeth, as well as brother Laurence Lasater of San Angelo, TX, and brother Lane Lasater and sister Sally Lasater of Boulder, CO. Dale's life touched many people throughout the worldwide ranching and land stewardship community. Dale was a beloved and visionary figure in his field, carrying on four generations of cattle breeding and ranch management. In 1986 he took over management of the Lasater Ranch in Eastern Colorado, founded in 1948 by Tom and Mary Lasater. He broadened and deepened his parents' commitment to working holistically with nature and the environment, producing organic grass fed beef cattle of the Beefmaster breed developed by his father. Dale and his brother Laurence made presentations about the family philosophy of cattle breeding and range management around the world. Dale worked throughout his career to implement conservation of irreplaceable Colorado short-grass prairie and other range environments. Dale was raised on The Lasater Ranch in Falfurrias, Texas and Matheson, Colorado. After graduating from Princeton University in 1965, Dale spent a year studying as a Fulbright scholar at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and then spent two years working with a cattle improvement program with the Peace Corps in Colombia. Prior to taking over the family ranch, Dale worked as general manager of International Cattle Systems, a diversified livestock company headquartered in Kansas. Dale is a past president of the Pikes Peak Cattlemen's Association, and served on the board of directors of the Colorado Cattlemen's Agricultural Land Trust, the Texas Cattle Feeders Association, and the National Cattlemen's Association (predecessor of NCBA). He was a founding board member of the Holistic Management Colorado Branch. In 2002, Dale was awarded the Slow Food Award for Biodiversity in Turin, Italy. In 2012 Dale was awarded the Stuart P. Dodge award for lifetime achievement by the Palmer Land Trust. Dale is the author of Falfurrias (College Station, Texas A&M University Press, 1985) and the editor of Flatrock (Colorado Springs, Master Publications, 2001). Dale's memory will be treasured by all those touched by him and he is profoundly missed.

<p><i><span>Eulogy for Dale Lasater Mass</span></i></p>
<p><i><span>Our Lady of The Pines</span></i></p>
<p><i><span>Greetings,</span></i></p>
<p><i><span>I loved Dale as a brother, as so many people did. He was like
that for me, easy to like, easy to love. But not always. He was a man of
grace, of deep insight into many things, but especially people and
cattle. He was the most influential person in my life. And he was that
for many, many people. Dale Lasater is a giant among men, which is what
makes it so hard today to even come close to describing him and his
life. It is one of the greatest honors for me to be standing here. To
put it into context, someone on the phone calling me about Dale said, “
The world just lost one of its greatest men”. And for all of us who
knew him, that is not an overstatement.</span></i></p>
<p><i><span>I realized yesterday that besides being one of my closest
friends, he is the oldest. He called me mano, short for hermano (which
also means hand), and I called him bro. Bro Dale. Dale bro. I met him
for the first time in 1965 when he taught my siblings and me fifth grade
in Mexico on our home ranch, on his way to Argentina as a Fulbright
Scholar just having graduated from Princeton University. He was
relentless in and out of the classroom. Classes started at 6 am and
ended at noon. He led us on horse pack trips on weekends into the
mountains. It wasn’t enough to ride on horseback after class, we had to
ride bareback, going for ten or more miles to look for arrowheads, and
crystals or over the next hilltop. During the midday break he made us
run on foot to the airport trap and back (two miles), with him in the
lead, and then rewarded us with limeade with no sugar when we got back.
He insisted that we write succinctly and to the point. He tortured us
with his expectations and boundless energy and imagination. But let me
tell you, it was fun.</span></i></p>
<p><i><span>Much later while I was a university student, we met at a
Foundation Beefmaster Association convention in Reno and stayed up all
night planning an epic horseback trip through Copper Canyon in Mexico –
his idea. At the end of the night, instead of getting a little sleep, he
insisted that we go climb a hill outside town to watch the sun come up.
He was like that; endless, boundless energy in his pursuit of an
unquenchable thirst for life. We never fulfilled that dream, but it
became the focal point that inspired scores of letters afterwards
between us. And many of you know how he liked to write letters.</span></i></p>
<p><i><span>In 1989, he invited me to come to Colorado to work with him at
the Lasater Ranch. My family and I spent ten years with him, which led
to our starting our ranching business in Colorado. If it wasn’t for him,
I’m not sure what we would be doing right now. Moving here was a
turning point in my life, giving me an opportunity to live my dream. I
realized one day while we were in the Lasater Ranch office together that
I needed to write down one thing every day that I learned from him
because there was so much coming from him: the way he used a word, God,
marriage, faith, bulls, wives, traditions, family. I grew accustomed to
his laugh and how he could keep you going long after you thought it was
time to stop. I can hear his yipping now as he sits up there bestowing
his smile upon us.</span></i></p>
<p><i><span>His family and his marriage to Janine was holy ground to him.
It was his highest priority. Today I see his sons Alex and Tom sitting
here with their loved ones. He loved you both. He was very proud of
you. I see in you the reflection of a lot of Dale’s qualities.</span><span> </span><span>I
see his light, his darkness, his grace, his roughness, his gentleness,
his anger, his brilliance, his love and faith and his goodness. But, as
you know, your pa was a not a day at the country club.</span></i></p>
<p><i><span>No, he was something entirely different. He was so many
things. He was a man of deep intelligence and contemplative thought,
yet he was a man of the earth. He could write books and just as easily,
go out and sort a pen of cattle. He could lead discussions about
genetics as easily as he could talk about a poem. The cowboy and his
family were as important to him as the financier. He was a man of God
like no other whom I have ever met. He was one of the most consistent
and giving members of his community that there ever was. And he had a
sweet tooth like no other. My son asked me day before yesterday, “Are
you going to talk about how he liked sweets?” And he went on to describe
an occasion at a cattleman’s gathering when he passed Dale coming the
other way. He said, “He had a plate in his hand and on it was not just
one piece of desert, but a well rounded selection of every choice there
was on the table.” And Duke said he just grinned as he walked by.</span></i></p>
<p><i><span>After attending Princeton, spending time in Argentina, he fell
in love with a beautiful woman named Janine from Spain and they were
married in Mexico City and have celebrated life together in marriage
ever since. I can remember meeting you for the first time Janine, when
he brought you to our home in Mexico showing you off, the most beautiful
woman he had ever seen. Soon after, he began his career in the cattle
industry working in the cattle feeding sector, and you moved to Kansas
to build a major feed yard, leasing ranches and growing an international
agri-business as the CEO. However, the corporate world did not suit
him. </span></i></p>
<p><i><span>A desire to write a book about his family’s legacy,
“Falfurrias” a story of his grandfather – Ed Lasater’s life, his love of
the family ranch by Matheson, Colorado, the foundation Beefmaster
cattle herd and his family called to him and he and Janine moved their
family to Colorado Springs. It was a place that he had always wanted to
return to live, work and preserve. We all know that the future holds
the unknown and embedded in it is always change, and always
unpredictable. He knew this and still he worked hard to preserve the
health of the land and his family’s ranch. And even though the energy
and weight and tolerance and patience and extreme amount of time that he
devoted to it were of almost super human proportions, this was what he
wanted to spend his life doing. And he did. He spent every waking hour,
in one form or another, trying to make it better, and he chose to do
this over many many other things that he loved and was gifted in. Such
as writing books.</span></i></p>
<p><i><span>I learned in the time that I spent working with Dale, that
there were many reasons for his returning home besides this. Last week,
I was working bison and was watching the flow of the herd across a hill
in the rolling South Dakota prairie, down into a draw. It was raw and
beautiful and Dale came flooding over me. I thought about how he would
have appreciated bison if he’d been around them more. But he loved
cattle. They took up his life. And he loved the people who came with
cattle. He took personal interest in each one of us, not just because
we might be customers, but because it was the way he related to life.
People were the threads that made the tapestry that was his life. They
are the colors, the organic stuff that he used to weave. He had so many
relations with people of all dimensions, color and walks of life. He
found people who needed help, whether it was a marriage in trouble, a
severe sickness, or someone who needed to talk about their faith. He
was consistently involved in local and state level cattle grower
associations. He told me once that he didn’t have time for all the
demand coming from different organizations, churches and groups in his
community. But he did it anyway.</span></i></p>
<p><i><span>But it was also the land that pulled him. He loved open
rangeland and especially the high prairie of eastern Colorado. It was
one of the first things he took me out to see when I moved to here. I
distinctly remember wondering what he saw in this flat, desolate place,
but over time it has grown on me as it did in him as a boy looking for
arrowheads on the ranch, working on horseback moving cattle, trotting
around exploring. So when he went out on his horse last week, it was
not the hard work or the many long hours of toil in the night that drove
him. He went out to simply be in this land that he loved. To ride and
breathe it and see the spread of prairie grass and deer and whatever
else he came across. He was in his element when he was out there
riding. He was taking time to be alone on the back of a horse in the
majesty of what he saws as God’s creation.</span></i></p>
<p><i><span>Dale was a man of unfaltering faith. He took the hand that the
Lord offered him and he moved in his life using the light of
forgiveness and love in his heart. He used his faith to change things
in himself that he wanted to change, he used it to open the hearts of
other men and families. He never expected anyone else to follow his
footsteps, but gently offered the opportunity to share his faith, and in
his belief in the Lord as our savior. He knew there is an afterlife in
heaven and I know he is there now, watching us and listening. He knew
that he was going to a better place that is overflowing with top tier
bulls, the deepest of green grass prairie land and good Mexican food
with plenty of dessert. If we become angels in heaven, Dale is surely
one now. And if he indeed liked flying around on horses as much as we
think, I imagine he surely likes zipping around with his own wings now.</span></i></p>
<p><i><span>As I think about the time I have spent with Dale and what we
have talked about and done together, I always come back to his
relationship with cattle. I think cattle and cattle genetics put the
brightest spark in his eye. He was unshakable in his work in the
development of the Foundation Beefmaster Herd that he believed was based
around linking genetic selection processes directly to their natural
environment: nature and the natural rhythms of life – boiling the
elements of cattle selection and culling to their most fundamental
order. It is no wonder that Dale’s genius was his ability to reduce
things to their simplest element. He took his father, Tom Lasater’s
adage, “The most difficult thing in cattle breeding is keeping it
simple” to the ultimate degree. He made no exceptions with animals that
did not pass benchmarks in fertility, conformation, disposition, weight
or hardiness, the five standards of the Foundation Beefmaster herd. He
constantly sought ways to refine his insight into culling and selecting
cattle by inviting professional cattlemen he respected such as Watt
Casey, Guillermo Osuna, Bill Finan and Gale Evans among many others to
spend time on the ranch talking and evaluating herd sire prospects. He
believed that longevity was an important benchmark in the long-term
economics and functionality of a beef cattle herd on open range. I have
never seen anyone move the way he did around cattle, nor anyone select
bulls the way he could.</span></i></p>
<p><i><span>So as we remember Dale, let us remember the gifts that he left
us, the example he set, the standard that he used for living his life.
The gifts that he left us are faith and forgiveness. Let us remember his
sense of humor, his adoration of his wife and sons and grandchildren.
His love for this land and for traveling in it on the back of a horse is
a gift he gave many of us even if we may not enjoy it in the same way
that he did. Let us remember his work with the land to make it sparkle
and vibrate with life. Let’s remember the love he had for cattle and
all animals, the part of him that drove him so ferociously. Let’s
celebrate his life by crying and laughing together, knowing that he is
still with us, and always will be.</span></i></p>

At one gathering of some musician friends, we played the song and I thought "This would be quite pretty with a small group including guitar, bass, mandolin and fiddle. Well, dreams do come true! This year I attended Colorado Roots Camp as a real camper rather than an RMMC volunteer as I had done for a dozen years. One of the things that campers are encouraged to do is to perform a song on Student Concert Night, on the last evening of Camp. This gives one the whole week to get nervous! However, the professionals who are the instructors during the week are quite willing to help out, so I recruited <a href="https://rollybrown.com/" target="_blank">Rolly Brown </a>on guitar,<a href="https://www.weinerbass.space/" target="_blank"> Matt Weiner </a>on bass, <a href="https://www.keithyodermusic.com/" target="_blank">Keith Yoder</a> on Mandolin, and <a href="https://katieglassman.com/" target="_blank">Katie Glassman </a>on fiddle. And being such accomplished pros, we went over the song for about five minutes and they had it down - which is obvious in the video. I was the only one who screwed up a bit!!

As you can see above, <i>stuff</i> is indeed loaded into blue bins on rollers. The bins are the last stop for items donated to Goodwill but did not sell in a regular Goodwill Store. Because Goodwill gets so many donations, I believe that some of the things that end up in the bins never go to a store but rather go directly to the bins. If you looked at the link above, you will note that whatever you find is sold by the pound. Most amazingly to me is that there are three Outlet Centers in Denver that are open 8 to 8 six days a week and 9 to 6 on Sunday - and - a new row of bins is rolled out every 15 to 30 minutes! There are two main sections of bins, one for clothes and the other for miscellaneous<i> stuff</i>, and I do mean miscellaneous!! After the bins are picked over, the next stop for all of the <i>stuff</i> is either a recycling center or a landfill.</p><p style="text-align: left;">The first point about the bins is that it is a very sad commentary on consumerism in our society. While some of the <i>stuff </i>is worthy of being pitched, there is so much <i>stuff</i> that clearly has utility. Indeed, we have seen many things that are brand new with their original labels and price tags. It would take way too long to list all of the various <i>stuff</i> that ends up at the bins, and sadly a lot of useful <i>stuff </i>gets rolled away.</p><p style="text-align: left;">The second point about the bins is that most of the "shoppers" are resellers who are there many hours per week. We have chatted with a few of these denizens of the bins, and they generally have specific things that they are looking for. Most resell on eBay or Poshmark, but some have flea market booths or consign with resale shops. For Rhonda and me, it is pretty much a scavenger hunt! And a good Mennonite one at that since it's $1.49 a pound!! Much of what we get is for family and friends, but we do find some nice resale items, such as Longaberger Baskets and high-end sports equipment. I keep my eye out for the latter because <a href="https://www.playitagainsports.com/home" target="_blank">Play It Again Sports</a> and the <a href="https://bouldersportsrecycler.com/" target="_blank">Boulder Sports Recycler </a>are good places for sales. <a href="https://www.dinasdays.com/how-to-shop-the-thrift-store-bins/" target="_blank">Here is a great tutorial </a>for how to shop at the bins - and one point that I would add from our perspective, don't try to compete with the "pros" who make a beeline for specific items - the shoe grabbers are the worst!!! We generally wait for the initial madness of the dash to a new set of bins settles down, and then proceed to dig through - heaven knows that there is plenty to dig through! And there can be some interesting findings at the bottom of the bins - I once found a Walmart gift card that had $25 on it!<br /></p><div>We have kept for ourselves, kids and grand-kids a variety of very nice shoes, boots, jackets, clothes, tools, kitchenware, and crafting materials, as well as bought some things for gifts and for resale. Examples of sports resale items - Flylow, Volcom, Spyder, Gorsuch, Northface, Columbia, Fossil and Obermeyer jackets, Eddie Bauer clothes, Smith sunglasses and goggles, Pearl Izumi jackets, Burton outerwear and snowboard bags, Merrill and Sorel shoes, Riedell Emerald skates, Orvis fishing gear, and so on. Bottom line is that we are keeping a few worthwhile items from being trashed, and come out a bit ahead with the resales!<br /></div><br /><div><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><br /></div>DEShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03535087176533944091noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33475986.post-9508679827063164442021-11-16T12:49:00.011-07:002021-11-16T12:59:05.912-07:00COACH<p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="W.

Miller, swimming pool builder [classmate and life-long friend]</p><p>After a long, hard struggle with Parkinson's Disease and Parkinson's-related dementia (caused by exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam), Clair E. Miller passed away Friday, Sept. 17, 2021, at Harbor Healthcare in Lewes. </p><p>Born in Lancaster, Pa., July 15, 1946, to the late Alvin E. and Esther (Hertzler) Miller, Clair spent his early years in Millwood near Gap, Pa. After the family moved in 1960 to Port Allegany, Pa., he decided to finish high school at Central Christian High School, Kidron, Ohio, where he graduated in 1964. </p><p>Clair attended Goshen College (Goshen, Ind). He left school due to a four-story fall while working on building the Coudersport (Pa.) Hospital. He was in a body cast for six months. He lost his college deferment and was drafted into the Army. He served in the infantry from 1967-69. Clair was stationed in Vietnam in 1969. The experience marked him physically and emotionally for the rest of his life. </p><p>After Clair's discharge from the Army, he returned to the Lancaster area. On Nov. 27, 1970, Clair married Denise Smallwood of Christiana, Pa. They celebrated 50 years of marriage last November. She survives him, along with their son, Christopher, daughter-in-law Laurie Butcher, and grandson Sebastian. </p><p>Clair is also survived by his brother, Gene (Takoma Park, Md.), sister-in-law Jane Godfrey, and nephew, Jacob; his sister, Marianne Miller Noble (Lancaster, Pa.), brother-in-law Howard Noble, niece Jessica (Terrence Haynes), nephews Taylor, Tanner and Christian (Maya Zegarra) and their son William. </p><p>Upon Clair’s return to Lancaster he began a career in building and maintaining swimming pools. He owned and operated Miller Pool Service/Sunray Pools in Lancaster along with his wife, Denise, until his disability forced him into retirement. After their retirement; they moved to Scottsdale, Ariz., for nine years. They moved to Wilmington in 2011. </p><p>Clair's many loves were his family, the Phillies, boating on the Chesapeake, traveling, a great story, a glass of fine wine and a good cigar. He also loved serving his community. During a company Christmas party - Christmas was his favorite holiday - he said it didn't really feel like Christmas. He established a Christmas fund to which his staff contributed $1 or $2 per week. The first year of operation, the Miller Pool Service Christmas Fund provided complete Christmas dinner boxes for 50 families. Over 10 years, the program grew to where it provided Christmas meals for some 600 families. Clair's family thanks the staff of Miller Pool Service for their years of devotion to growing Miller Pool Service/SunRay Pools into the successful business it became. </p><p>Clair's family wishes to extend heartfelt thanks to his devoted brother vet, Tom Tully, who faithfully stood with Clair through his last days. They also wish to send thanks to the staff of Harbor Healthcare, especially Beth Seeds who was always there with guidance, love and support; Michelle Kupfer Gosnell (aka "Florida") for her love and devotion; and to Nichole Jackson, Donna White, Lauren Hahn, Karin Morengo, and Justine Awori.for their steadfast care and love. </p><p>Contributions in Clair's memory may be made to the Michael J.

We had purchased tickets to the Eagles concert pre-COVID, but like many things, the concert was put on hold. Over a year later, it was rescheduled, and we debated "Should we go, or should we sell our tickets?" Since the Ball Arena has a very sensible entry policy [proof of vaccination or a negative test], we decided to attend. We arrived about an hour before start time, thinking that there might be long lines for the COVID checks, but were pleasantly surprised that the whole entry process was very organized and ran smoothly.</p><p>Once inside, we had to chuckle at some of the attendees. There were many folks sporting their Eagles Tour shirts from bygone days, including a pair of cane-toting-T-shirt-wearing elderly ladies making their way to their seats. Our seats were straight out from the stage in the first section of tiered seating - better than being on the flat floor IMHO.</p><p>The concert started just a few minutes after the scheduled time, and it was pretty much as I expected from a big name, big band, big show - and it was great! Pretty much straight-forward music that reproduced the original recordings. My opinion is that one of the hallmarks of a good band is that they sound as good or even better live than on studio recordings. And the Eagles have it.</p><p>The first set was Hotel California, and the second set was "every other song that we know" as Don Henley put it. The September 16 playlist<a href="https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/eagles/2021/ball-arena-denver-co-b8c71a2.html" target="_blank"> can be found here,</a> and one of the great things about this playlist site is that you are able to click on the song to hear it.</p><p>As the opening number Hotel California got rolling, I could ID Henley on drums, Joe Walsh on guitar and Timothy Schmit on bass. And I thought "Dang, that fellow on the left sounds really great and looks a lot like Vince Gill" - and it was! The other main members included Steuart Smith, <a href="https://www.countrythangdaily.com/deacon-frey-facts-you-probably-didnt-know/" target="_blank">Deacon Frey</a> [the late Glenn Frey's son], and Scott Crago. Smith played a fair amount of lead, and he and Walsh were incredible on the Hotel California duo at the end. Deacon Frey did several lead vocals, and Crago took over on drums when Henley did some lead vocals as shown above. The picture also shows the Denver Orchestra playing along with the band.</p><p><br />For me, the highlight was <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">Gill</a>. I think that he is one of the most talented singer/songwriters of today. And as one reviewer put it "Vince Gill might not be the first guy you'd have thought of as a replacement for Glenn Frey in the Eagles, but wow, is he a good fit. The country icon soars as he takes over lead vocals on the Eagles' classic hit "New Kid in Town" on their new live album." He did several other leads, and he fits right in with the Eagles' incredible harmonies.<br /><br />Generally speaking, big venue shows are not my preference, but this one was certainly worth it. My original video was blocked, so I'll try this one:</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FiPqUjLMuA8" width="320" youtube-src-id="FiPqUjLMuA8"></iframe></div><br /><br /><p></p><p></p>DEShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03535087176533944091noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33475986.post-38898102414917680172021-05-17T10:26:00.003-06:002021-05-17T10:26:28.708-06:00AMISH AUCTION FLASH MOB<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="365" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/H3yvcPFS1jE" width="440" youtube-src-id="H3yvcPFS1jE"></iframe></div><br /><p><br /></p>DEShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03535087176533944091noreply@blogger.com36tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33475986.post-24691855119666289612021-03-27T19:54:00.001-06:002023-10-10T15:05:17.932-06:00FRANK HOWELL<p> Quite a few years ago, we were wandering around the Santa Fe square, checking out the shops and galleries. One gallery had several original oil paintings by<a href="https://www.inartsantafe.com/artist/Frank_Howell/biography/" target="_blank"> Frank Howell</a>, and I was particularly struck by a large [maybe four feet by six feet] that was similar to this, but even more impressive:<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Frank Howell Limited Edition and Originals" class="n3VNCb" data-noaft="1" src="https://www.herndonfineart.com/images/Howell/Strawberry%20Flight.jpg" style="height: 402px; margin: 0px; width: 504px;" /></p><p>
I checked the price, and in retrospect, it might have been a decent investment at $20,000 😄 Here are a few<a href="http://mccormickgallery.com/artists/frank-howell" target="_blank"> more examples </a>of his art that I really enjoy:<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Spring Matrix" src="http://mccormickgallery.com/uploads/images/FHspringTB.jpg" /></p><p style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="480 FRANK HOWELL ART ideas | howell, native american artists, native american art" class="n3VNCb" data-noaft="1" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d7/7a/12/d77a12913630cbcd3c8b1227510a6745.jpg" style="height: 558px; margin: 0px; width: 650px;" /></p><p> </p>DEShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03535087176533944091noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33475986.post-55682733356206487052021-01-15T14:54:00.002-07:002023-10-10T15:10:00.738-06:00PAUL WESTPHAL 1950-2021<p style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Recognizing Hall of Famer Paul Westphal | NBA.com" class="rg_i Q4LuWd" data-ils="4" height="136" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSKS-H_G5lnTqXXWTVuMBNr1xQhYqEk1yShvQ&usqp=CAU" width="374" /></p><p>Those of you who follow basketball are no doubt aware that Paul Westphal recently passed away due to a malignant brain tumor.

I would describe our time at Pepperdine as acquaintances who chatted occasionally. When I was Chairman of the Natural Science Division, we had a variety of Pepperdine colleagues as speakers at our Division meetings to share their personal reflections on <i>Wisdom</i>. Paul was a willing participant as one of our speakers [others included legendary volleyball coach Marv Dunphy, Doug Kmieck, Ken Starr, Provost Tippens and President Benton]. One of my favorite stories is about the time that Rhonda and I were seated alongside Paul and his wife at one of the Pepperdine Athletics Awards Dinners. The Westphals were very pleasant, easy to talk with and unpretentious, particularly given his Hall-of-Fame career. When we headed home, one of Rhonda's first observations was "Did you see the SIZE of her diamond??!!" I hadn't, but I certainly could imagine. Godspeed Paul.<br />DEShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03535087176533944091noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33475986.post-33855527177389564242020-12-01T08:36:00.011-07:002020-12-01T08:40:00.947-07:00THE UTAH MONOLITH<p style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Utah Monolith Removed by Four Men, Photographer Says - The New York Times" class="n3VNCb" data-noaft="1" src="https://static01.nyt.com/images/2020/11/30/us/30monolith1/30monolith1-mobileMasterAt3x-v3.jpg" style="height: 543.333px; margin: 0px; width: 815px;" /></p><p>

For example, when you turn 35, you magically move from being the oldest person in your age group to being the youngest! Then, once you hit forty, you are still in the 5 year bracket of 40-44, but additionally you are now a Masters Runner. There are a whole set of records for runners over 40, kind of an acknowledgement the these old farts are still pretty fast but not nearly as fast the younger folks. Then at age 50, one becomes a <b>Grand Master</b>! So, in Colorado Springs, we had a small group of fellows that dubbed ourselves the Grand Masters - we got some jackets and a few other self-identifiers, but mainly had a grand time running and hanging out together. Here's a group photo of our motley crew, previously posted <a href="https://dougandrhonda.blogspot.com/2010/09/weve-lost-good-man-ron-wisner-june-18.html" target="_blank">here:</a><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NPu6NIWl6tI/TJeh-CP3t3I/AAAAAAAAAS8/WHMjcI69BHo/s320/8+95+Grand+Masters.jpg" /></p><div style="text-align: center;">

They seek a cure for the
conversation. They stole a march on your indecision. And the first to
fall was laughter just to quell the unoffended they seek to murder your
opinion.
<br />And the light has been turned down on the age of reason <br />replaced by blinding fires that burn wild across the region
<br />But the wrong to rule the good must just stand idly by
<br />So I need you more than ever <br />I need your hand in this resistance <br />
If we´re going to go the distance<br />
And if I ever doubted I think about my future and if I want to live there.<br />
And the world outside is wondrous wide for a reason if I can´t decide you must blow your own mind for that reason<br />
For the wrong to rule the good must just stand idly by and that´s no lie. <br />
Can´t be hard to know what you´re feeling what with all the lies that
you´re reading if it´s hard to say you may mean it. Don´t be lost!
Thinking about tomorrow when today is what you are living. Make today a
new beginning.<br />
And the light has been turned down on the age of reason. Replaced by
blinding fires that burn wild across the region. For the wrong to rule
the good must just stand idly by.<br />
So I need you more than ever. I need your hand in this resistance if
we´re going to go the distance. And if I ever doubted I think about my
future and if I want to life there.<br />
And the world outside is wonderous wide for a reason. If you can´t
deside you must blow your own mind for that reason. For the wrong to
rule the good must just stand idly by and that´s no lie. <br />
So I need you more than ever I need your hand in this resistance if
we´re going to go the distance and if I ever doubted I think about my
future and if I want to life ... there</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>DEShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03535087176533944091noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33475986.post-12184094942803209272020-05-05T11:19:00.000-06:002020-05-05T11:19:13.067-06:00THE WATER IS WIDEAcross the years, I have heard this song numerous times, but never tracked down the title and words.

<div class="ujudUb WRZytc">
<span> </span><br /><span>O love is handsome and love is kind</span><br /><span>Gay as a jewel when it is new</span><br /><span>But love grows old and waxes cold</span><br /><span>And fades away like the morning dew </span></div>

The basics came to me in a dream, and a friend challenged me to write it out. Those of you who know us may see some parallels here to our life! So here are the lyrics with some visuals.<br />

Without any Nuggets, Avalanche and Rockies games taking place, I have been watching the news, Netflix and <a href="https://www.circleplus.com/" target="_blank">Circle TV.</a> I found Circle by accident - I got so irritated with satellite and cable companies having a pissing contest with Altitude Sports over broadcasting the local pro teams, I cut the cord as it were, signed up for YouTube TV and bought an antenna to put up on the old satellite mounting post on our garage roof. We get about 40 broadcast channels, and Circle is one of them. I have been most impressed with the live broadcasts from the Opry, with country's best playing to an empty auditorium because of COVID 19, but still sharing great music with us folks at home across the land. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In several of the Circle broadcasts, I was taken with how much respect and reverence was paid to the wooden circle that is in the center of the stage, as shown above. A nice article on the history and the importance of the Circle can be found<a href="https://www.opry.com/story/the-history-of-the-grand-ole-oprys-iconic-circle-of-wood/" target="_blank"> here.</a> Briefly, the circle was cut out of the stage of the old Ryman Auditorium and then placed in the stage at the Opry's new digs. The Circle is considered "the most sacred space in country music" and "the circle never was painted, but it adorns the scuffs and scars of the greats and dreamers who have walked across it."<br />
<br />
After hearing country artists and<a href="https://www.opry.com/about/member-list/" target="_blank"> Opry Members </a>such as Craig Morton, Daily & Vincent, Luke Combs and Ricky Skaggs and host Bobby Bones speak of the importance of the Circle, a strange thing happened - a song came to my mind!! Strange in that it was only the second time that a tune just came to me. I worked on it a bit, sent it to my brother in law who said "too many words", so I cut it back a bit, and am now happy with the song. Below are the lyrics and the chord progression that I use. If I had acceptable talent, I would make a demo, but alas, I will have to rely on others to do that. If you play, give it a shot, not too slow, not too fast. I welcome comments and ideas for improvements. Thanks in advance.<br />
<br />
Update: I indeed received some wonderful feedback on this, with some constructive guidance - so, I changed a few things around, and IMHO, the revised version below is significantly better. </div>

<br />
As nearly everyone in the literate music world knows, <a href="https://www.johnprine.com/" target="_blank">John Prine</a> died this week from <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/john-prine-obit-253684/" target="_blank">COVID 19 complications.</a> Like me, he was born in 1946 and was 73 years old. Unlike me, he was a<a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/iris-dement-john-prine-in-spite-of-ourselves-981603/" target="_blank"> giant among Americana/Roots/Folk songwriter-singers.</a> His songs are too numerous to mention here, but many of us who get together to jam always get around to playing some of his songs, from picking the quiet ballad <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXbEFTv9zr0" target="_blank">Summer's End</a> with Glenn and the gang to pounding out the scathing commentary of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEy6EuZp9IY" target="_blank">Paradise</a> with Stan and the crew. One that he did not write, but always make me chuckle is Kacey Musgraves' Burn One With John Prine:<br />

Strange days have found us<br />Strange days have tracked us down<br />They're going to destroy<br />Our casual joys<br />We shall go on playing<br />Or find a new town<br /><br />Yeah!<br /><br />Strange eyes fill strange rooms<br />Voices will signal their tired end<br />The hostess is grinning<br />Her guests sleep from sinning<br />Hear me talk of sin<br />And you know this is it<br /><br />Yeah!<br /><br />Strange days have found us<br />And through their strange hours<br />We linger alone<br />Bodies confused<br />Memories misused<br />As we run from the day<br />To a strange night of stone</div>

I have been pleasantly surprised that they actually read my rants and often reply. One of my favorite writers is <a href="https://www.denverpost.com/author/mark-kiszla/" target="_blank">Mark Kiszla</a> - Kiz is a favorite because he is funny and insightful, but more importantly I generally agree with him! I've written to him a couple of times, with my latest affirming his rant that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Malone_(basketball)" target="_blank">Michael Malone,</a> the <a href="https://www.nba.com/nuggets/" target="_blank">Denver Nuggets</a> head coach, was wasting the opportunity to let a potential superstar, <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4278104/michael-porter-jr" target="_blank">Michael Porter Jr,</a> play rather than languish on the bench. On February 29 Kiz wrote some blistering commentary regarding Malone's blindered approach to playing Porter - you can <a href="https://www.denverpost.com/2020/02/29/nuggets-starting-lineup-overhaul-michael-porter/" target="_blank">see it all here,</a> but it may require a subscription to access, so I will clip some below:<br />
<br />
<strong>There are too many apologists for the Nuggets. After the
blowout loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, it’s time to get real. Stacked
against the toughest competition, you’re left with little reason to
believe Denver is a championship-winning team this year. They have the
talent, no doubt, but haven’t found the right formula to this point.</strong><br />
<br />
<em>G.C., keeping it real</em><br />
<br />
<strong>Kiz</strong>: Could it be the Nuggets’ starting five needs an
overhaul? Although there are matchup exceptions to every rule, this
should be the lineup introduced before the game and on the floor at
crunch time: Nikola Jokic at center; Jerami Grant at power forward;
Michael Porter Jr. at small forward; Will Barton at shooting guard, and
Jamal Murray at point guard.<br />
<br />
<strong>It amazes me Porter can get pulled for making a mistake, but
Harris is allowed to continue to shoot – er, throw – balls off the side
of the backboard. If the Nuggets want defense, play Torrey Craig. Harris
should be sitting on the pine, compass in hand, trying to locate the
basket.</strong><br />

<em>Dan, Sarasota, Fla.</em><br />
<br />
<strong>Kiz</strong>: Harris is last week’s news. The Nuggets have a
MPJ problem. If Malone leaves Porter to rot on the bench, maybe Denver
can trade him away in 2022 for a future second-round draft choice.<br />
<br />
<strong>The Nuggets have got a lot of problems, Kiz. Harris is one of
them. Paul Millsap is another. But the biggest problem of all is your
friend Malone and his loyalty to Harris, Millsap and Craig.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong></strong><em>Steven, problem-solver</em><br />
<br />
<strong>Kiz</strong>: What did Forrest Gump’s momma used to say? Stubborn is as stubborn does. Or something like that.<br />
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <br />
So, after the above appeared in the Denver Post, I sent a short email to affirm Kiz' perspective on the MPJ - Malone 'situation.' Well, the very next game, Malone sat MPJ the entire game!! So, I sent another email to Kiz saying basically that apparently Malone reads Kiz' column! Interestingly, Kiz used our brief exchange <a href="https://www.denverpost.com/2020/03/07/kickin-it-with-kiz-if-chris-harris-jr-cant-cover-tyreek-hill-might-as-well-join-him-in-chiefs-uniform/" target="_blank">in his next column</a>:<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Looks like Nuggets coach Michael Malone reads your column,
Kiz. And he decided to show that sports guy only the coach decides if
Michael Porter Jr. gets off the Denver bench.</strong><br />

<em>Douglas, the wily professor</em><br />
<br />
<strong>Kiz:</strong> After Malone complained about his team’s poor
defense, I guess we should’ve seen a DNP coming for Porter in the
victory at Charlotte. But let me point out something I bet Porter also
duly noted. He scored a team-high 19 points and added eight rebounds
during a decisive home victory over the Hornets in January, then plays
zero minutes as Denver squeaks by the same team in March? Hey, if Malone
wants to make an example out of Porter, that’s his business. But it’s
also how a coach can destroy trust with a young player.<br />

So, henceforth you all may refer to me as The Wily Professor!! <br />
