Former Philadelphia police Captain Ray Lewis was arrested Thursday in conjunction with the Occupy Wall Street protests.

It’s proved impossible for me to get this shot of former Philadelphia Police Cpt. Ray Lewis being arrested, anywhere. I was adamantly rebuffed by the Philadelphia Inquirer, NYT, local NY papers, and Newsweek, before even looking at the photograph. One of the only published photos of this paradoxical and intense event is located here at the NYC Observer.

Hiked for a bit this-afternoon. The weather through the days has been near perfect for northern Colorado in late October; reaching the mid-fifties and not too terrible windy aside from the occasional heavy gust down the mountain.

Great Grandma and I drove up from Greeley on Saturday morning after stopping in at Vern’s for my usual French toast, and my throat is finally healing. I wish I could afford to take a week off to fly up here every time I get another round of tonsillitis which is far too common anyhow.

Life up here is so terribly simple. Wake up early, put wood on the fire and pour a cup of coffee, step outside in the biting morning air to watch the deer and have a smoke, cook breakfast, snuggle up by the fire with a book (The Shining for me), have lunch at noon, spend the afternoon hiking or off-roading or picking up groceries at the local supermarket or splitting wood or shooting BBs (I put some in a can from 50m today!), cook and eat dinner with the family, wind down with another cup of coffee, maybe a glass of wine or beer and watching ball games on television, and slip under a heated blanket for sleep. and I love it, I couldn’t possibly imagine a better escape from the rest of the world.

I really can’t believe it’s been less than a year.
So much has happened since then. I’m a completely different person.
