In last week’s post<\/a>, we visited Bootleg Lake in the White Mountains of eastern Arizona. In this week’s post, I’ll wrap up the pictures from my September adventure with wildflowers and a spectacular New Mexico sunset, share the usual batch of meme-y hilarity–and reflect the tragic shooting this week at the University of Arizona. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But first, welcome to the Weekend Coffee Share<\/a>, hosted by Natalie the Explorer<\/a>. Natalie has food pics this week. Try not to lick your screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Warning: my first topic this week is neither funny nor pretty. Feel free to skip it if you need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fatal shooting on the University of Arizona campus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I rarely write about anything serious on here, because where’s the fun in that? But I can’t talk about this week without mentioning the shooting on my campus. Here<\/a> is one of many news stories about it if you want details, but the gist of it is that on Wednesday afternoon, a former student shot a professor dead. I didn’t know either of the parties involved, and while I was on campus that day, I wasn’t near the scene of the crime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, it rattled me. Me and the rest of the campus community. I can hear the voice in my head–this time it sounds like my father–telling me to toughen up, it didn’t directly affect you, get on with life. And yeah, I get that. I’m not curled up under my desk in a fetal position. But the key point lies in the phrase, “campus community.” The University of Arizona is huge, but it’s a community, and our community was violated. This tragedy happened to one of our own. I could get all philosophical about how these incidents make us all feel more vulnerable and yada yada yada, but I’m not going to do that. Instead I’ll share two quotes from co-workers as the news was unfolding: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It could have been so much worse.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Followed by, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Tell me you’re an American without telling me you’re an American.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, it could have been worse. We read the news. We know what “worse” looks like. And when we see an emergency alert that contains the word, “shooting,” those are the images that flash through our minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hate how inured we’ve become to these events. How our first thought when we hear about them isn’t, “Oh, that poor man! That poor family!” No, our first thought is, “It could have been so much worse.” There’s a callus on my soul. It’s numb and ugly and I want it gone, but like the calluses I used to get on my palms from playing on the monkey bars as a kid, I need it there to protect me from pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I hate how shootings have become more American than apple pie and Chevrolet ever were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last batch of vacation pictures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you stuck with me through that last section, thank you. After almost two days of hurting and processing this event with my equally-hurting colleagues, I needed to get some feelings out of my head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you scrolled past, I understand. We all have to take care of ourselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest of this post will be the usual happy, fun, and\/or weird stuff you’ve come to expect from my twisted corner of the interwebs. No more gloom and doom, I promise. There may be a little philosophical reflection–but no gloom and doom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wildflowers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You know me–I love taking pictures of flowers. There wasn’t a lot of floral variety on our trip to the White Mountains, but a few plants were in bloom. I loved how these yellow daisies looked against the rough bark of a ponderosa pine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I think we were a little late for lupines, but I did see one or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A bank of white daisies grew along the shore of Rainbow Lake, some with the traditional yellow centers and some like these, with adorable pink centers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The bees seemed to enjoy both kinds and were way too busy gathering pollen to pay any attention to me–even when I got in close for pics like these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A viewpoint in New Mexico<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On the way home we crossed into New Mexico, stopped at a viewpoint, and found… this: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Whatever took a bite out of that picnic table can stay far, far away from me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the view from that viewpoint: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

No sign of the picnic-table-eating monster, thank God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A New Mexico sunset<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In last week’s post, I wrote about serendipity being one of the great joys of travel. Sometimes you stumble onto something wonderful that you didn’t know about or plan for. On the last day of our trip, we detoured to Silver City, NM, to see what it was like (Answer: Pretty cool! I want to go back.) Then we drove home on I-10. The sun was setting as we approached the Arizona border, and it was so spectacular, we pulled off on an exit ramp to a deserted road to take pictures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the deserted road: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And here’s the sunset. My iPhone camera did not do it justice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: a double rainbow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So the thought I’ll leave you with today (before we get to the memes, anyway) is this: Pull over. Take the picture. Stand on that road to nowhere and let the raindrops fall on your face while you gawk at a double rainbow. Slow down. Stop. Maybe even turn back to see what you missed the first time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s so much beauty and magic all around us, even on abandoned exit ramps in western New Mexico. Drink it in. Drink it all in. Let it soften your callused soul and remind you that so much of the world is good and beautiful and magical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because that beauty and magic will help you get through the ugliness and evil with your soul intact. Callused maybe, but intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The memery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I thought about ending the post with that little reflection on life, but I can’t deprive my loyal tens of readers of their weekly laughs. So here we go: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Also, “Jack.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I might donate mine to the medical school on my campus and suggest they use it as a cautionary tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Later in life, Mediocrates formed a partnership with his colleague Bureaucrates, and thus was born the phrase, “Close enough for government work.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If ever there was a task for which, “Good enough” should be the standard, it’s folding a fitted sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we’re going to visit the wacky world of science. Gather ’round, fellow nerds. This section is for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

True story: I had two advisors as an undergrad. Their names: Dr. Seaman and Dr. Cox. No, I am not making that up. I don’t know if they ever co-authored a paper, but they should have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Somewhere I have pictures of mountain goats on the side of a sandstone cliff in Zion National Park. I’m not sure how they got their exemption from the laws of physics, but they did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Oh, that little mallet! I want it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I should add, “1970s remote control,” to my resume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take care, everyone. Drop a comment and tell me something good that happened in your world this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
