In which I finally visit the iconic mountain of south central Arizona. |
Anyone traveling by ground between Phoenix and Tucson can't miss the unique outline of Picacho Peak. It's so distinctive, that every time I've seen it, I wanted to stop and check it out—but never had time. Until today, when I drove there specifically for that purpose!

Revisiting a spot 15 years later. |
It was too pretty a day to stay inside, so I decided to revisit the trailhead, at least, of the hike to Hieroglyphic Trail. My back wasn't doing well enough for me to hike more than a few dozen yards in, but between the views along the way to and through Gold Canyon, and the shots I was able to take from just beyond the trailhead itself, I think I got enough of a taste of the place to encourage me to to return as soon as I can hike a little farther.

The area north of El Dorado Hot Spring is beautiful in its own right. |
So it's the beginning of March, and, armed with a fresh Social Security payment, I decided to get my hair cut (it's been two months; and by 'hair', I mean 'beard'). And that was so I wouldn't look like a homeless person when I made my monthly visit to the hot spring at Tonopah. And I decided, on this trip, in between soaking, I would explore a little to the north of the springs, a place I'd never been.

John and his partner have lovely cats. |
My son, John, often travels to California with his partner and kids to see their grandparents. But they have two cats. So I'm lucky enough to have been asked several times to stop by and check on the cats while the humans are away. Here are some photos I took of them on these occasions.

Being Human

Either we are all human, or none of us are. |
As I age (excuse me, mature) I find myself pondering a lot of things that I've always taken for granted. One of them is the meaning of the word, human. It's one of the most common and familiar words in the English language, but also one of the most complex and controversial. What does it mean to be human? How do we define and identify ourselves and others as human? How do we use the word human to divide or include different beings? How has the meaning of being human changed over time and across cultures? And where might its continued evolution take us in the direction of an expanded collective consciousness?

My first attempt at an easy short hike after starting methyl folate. |
Today my friend Arthur and I, staying at the Tonopah hot springs, decided to take a break from soaking and visit nearby Saddle Mountain. That's west of the hot spring. I haven't driven out there in maybe 20 years, but it's been two weeks since I started taking methyl folate, and I feel so good I wanted to stretch my legs a little.
