My favorite quotes
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.Mahatma Gandhi, (attributed)
Indian ascetic & nationalist leader (1869 - 1948)
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), Man and Superman (1903) "Maxims for Revolutionists"
You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), "Back to Methuselah" (1921), part 1, act 1
Don't let fear convince you that you're too weak to have courage. Fear is the opportunity for courage, not the proof of cowardice.
McCain, John (2004, September). In Search of Courage: Finding the Courage Within You. FastCompany, 51-56.
In the search for character and commitment, we must rid ourselves of our inherited, even cherished biases and prejudices. Character, ability and intelligence are not concentrated in one sex over the other, nor in persons with certain accents or in certain races or in persons holding degrees from some universities over others. When we indulge ourselves in such irrational prejudices, we damage ourselves most of all and ultimately assure ourselves of failure in competition with those more open and less biased.
J. Irwin Miller, Chairman of the Board (1951-1977), Cummins Inc. From 1983 letter about diversity at the company.

Pictures around Pagosa Springs
| During my stay I snapped a variety of pictu around Pagosa Springs. These are not necessarily sequential nor do they tell a coherent story...at least they don't tell me one at the moment. | |
| Every other morning I started out my day with a nice soak at the hot springs. There were two routes between the house and The Springs, you could stay on the highways or go out Hotsprings Road. I usually choice the latter. This picture is going in from the house toward town. I actually snapped the picture to get a clear shot of the mountains, the layers of mountains actually. Sadly that part didn't come out very well. |  |
| On the same road this view looks up toward Reservoir Hill. |  |
| On the east side of town there are still some working ranches. This one had several old buildings. I'm not totally sure they were really old but they were pretty...I love the old abandoned building look. |  |
| Still on Hotsprings Road coming up on I-84, the ranch in the distance is known as The Blue Ranch. All of the buildings are painted the same shade of blue. I bet it gorgeous when there is snow. |  |
 | |
| The view outside the living room windows of the house were amazing at sunset. I have never seen colors like this outside an old master painting. I had thought Hawaii sunsets were the best but I think these beat them. |  |
 | |
| The Columbine's were beginning to bloom in the yard right as I left. |  |
| These shots are looking down at Pagosa Springs from Reservoir Hill. |  |

| When I first moved into the house I amuzed a friend of mine in PA. I kept saying that there were critters at my feeder that I couldn't identify. They had the body of a chipmunk and the head of a squirrel and were about half the size of our squirrels. Turns out they are Gold Mantled Squirrels. I snapped this picture from my workspace looking out the dining room doors. The frame you see around the squirrel is actual the back of a ladder-back dining chair. |  |
