First Milky Way outing of the year last night. These are the Courthouse Butte and Bell Rocks of Sedona. About a half mile hike from the Yavapai Scenic turnout on the Yavapai Trail leads you to this large (almost football field sized) flat smooth section of red rock within about a mile of the monuments. We hiked up during twilight but had a much slower and careful hike back around midnight.

Did you walk there? Where's that pretty Jeep?
 
An old man, a boy and a donkey were going into town. The boy rode the donkey and the old man walked beside them. As the passed some people, the people remarked that it was a shame that the boy rode and let the old man walk. So, they changed positions and the old man rode and the boy walked. As they passed another group of people, the people remarked that it was a shame that the old man rode and made the boy walk. So, the old man got off the donkey and both walked beside it toward town. As they passed another group of people, the people remarked how foolish it was for them to walk when they had a strong donkey to ride. So, they both got on the donkey and rode. They passed another group of people who remarked how cruel it was for them both to ride the poor donkey. So, they got off and decided to carry the donkey. As they were crossing a narrow bridge, they lost their grip and the donkey fell into the stream and drowned.

The moral of the story: If you try to please everyone, you will lose your ass.
 
Anybody besides myself think Arby's is a little misleading on the ad
All the pix of any fast food burger I see are to me WAAAY misleading. The actual burger looks nothing like them. Arby's additionally misleads by saying it is a "Wagyu Steakhouse" burger, which I suppose gets them around the fact that is it not 100% Wagyu, but rather, as USA Today puts it, "an American Wagyu blended burger." Wagyu currently is an incredibly expensive meat, even as ground scraps. Much too expensive to be 100% of a burger starting at $5.99.

BTW, the Wagyu breed is the fasted-growing beef cattle breed in America.

Had a BK Whopper lately? Did it look like this? 😂

As a professional photographer (portrait,wedding, etc). we spent a day in a food photography studio. Watching the food stylists create the product, nothing is really real. One trick used is freeze the burger, pan fry to color the exterior. Reduced the shrinkage as burger interior was still frozen. Just one of many tricks

Yeah, I worked in the media for 40 years and saw many food tricks by photogs. Some of it is completely artificial. Plastic and wax. But seriously, the FTC ought to crack down on this flagrant burger inflation. Either that, or the people shooting these burgers ought to be hired to do after shots for Viagra! 😂 😂 😂

Hey Rocky, what do you do when your donkey dies in the middle of the desert?

Get off your dead ass and WALK!

My Dad loved that joke.
 
This a the "Black Fire" located down in the SW portion of NM in the Gila Wilderness. It is has been burning for 2 weeks chewing up ~15,000 acres of forrest a day. Its now up to ~250,000 acres burned and only 28% contained. Add that with the Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak fire that is now up to 325,000 acres burned and 50% contained as well as the Cerro Pelado fire that is 45,000 acres and 80% contained and we have lost over 600,000 acres of forest in NM this Spring and we are not even at peak fire season (June).

In the morning the carp came in to spawn. When the south winds picked up,
the water went down & some were caught in the middle by the sand bars.
One tried to make it over the sand bar and didn't make it.

Then the pelicans showed up and had lunch as the minnows had
no place to go with the sand bar. Pretty sure there was not much left to eat after they went through.

After the pelicans left, it was time for the geese to take their turn.
