Ok, is it just me or are there a lot of unbalanced people in this world? What person in his or her right mind would walk across the Grand Canyon on a tight rope? Well it was not really a rope but a cable or wire, you could not get me to walk across the Grand Canyon on a SIDEWALK let a lone a tight rope. You see I live 21 miles from the West rim of the Grand Canyon and The Sky Walk and you could not get me to walk on that piece of Plexiglass for all the money that guy made for walking across the canyon. Must admit it was exciting , I am glad he made it with out falling but then it might have been more exciting if he had. Sorry, I know that sounds really bad but do you think they would have paid him all that money if they knew for sure he was not going to fall. No I didn’t want him to fall so do not leave comments that tell me what a bad person I am but it dose say a lot about us, I would venture to guess that it was one of the highest rated programs tonight.

Now on to more exciting things. You never know what you might run into when you walk out the door in Arizona, it could be any thing from a Snake (not the nice kind) to a Bob Cat or sometimes there might even be a person out there (not to likely). Couple days ago it was Javelin, not one but two! Now my two guard dogs, as always on guard, spotted them and decided it was their duty to rid the yard of them. Now being their loving master I decided that their combined weight of 10 lbs gave somebody an unfair advantage and believe me it wasn’t my faithful Guard Dogs who by the way are always on a chain due to these kind of surprises. Another thing I learned that day was always make sure you have good batteries  in your camera (which I did not), needless to say I was very lucky to get these photos. Used the camera on my phone so not the best photos but I was very happy to get them. Now the Javelin may not be as exciting the Man on a Rope but I think it comes pretty darn close. Check back again to see what surprising thing might show up in my yard, you never know it might just  be time to bring out those nasty Guard Dogs again!
