Here you will find proof that neither am I completely asleep nor totally awake, but always in motion. Please enjoy my various observations and commentary as I plod, plow, and ply my way through life. We are all travelers and we are all daily discovering our world and ourselves.Dr Fizzicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04169799749598141985noreply@blogger.comBlogger356125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162623.post-56795569147412121412009-01-21T17:41:00.004-07:002009-01-21T17:44:13.123-07:00Pat Williams on President Obama<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Here is an article about President Obama by nine-time Montana congressman Pat Williams, who nominated me to West Point in 1987: </span><a href="http://www.headwatersnews.org/pat.obama012109.html"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">http://www.headwatersnews.org/pat.obama012109.html</span></a>Dr Fizzicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04169799749598141985noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162623.post-82662624469209565472009-01-21T08:19:00.003-07:002009-01-21T08:22:35.203-07:00Inauguration Day<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDbQYnPbxdtUXqRXoVcm2lUQnJkSSP8i1gkdPpA_LECsnY3dckLskq62ZbG7XOsI13cSVr4nNYtKst9DE7RVUmS4H0fARqKrZusg38rJerrFsC2XHNzU18Ol3mMH3DhltSWLyn1Q/s1600-h/Bush+Obama+1+rr.jpg"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><em><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293767148276264530" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDbQYnPbxdtUXqRXoVcm2lUQnJkSSP8i1gkdPpA_LECsnY3dckLskq62ZbG7XOsI13cSVr4nNYtKst9DE7RVUmS4H0fARqKrZusg38rJerrFsC2XHNzU18Ol3mMH3DhltSWLyn1Q/s200/Bush+Obama+1+rr.jpg" border="0" /></em></span></a><em><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"> A concerned Barack H.

It seemed to me that I was born then, in part, to help heal this world. I am encouraged that the US voters chose to elect a person as president who seems intent on healing rather than harming. Having served twice in my life as president of an organization, I know that the hardest part is fulfilling the vision of the people you serve. The challenge now is for national leaders to lead by example and put our money where our mouths are and have been for a long time. Yes, John McCain was humble in defeat, yes Chicagoans turned out en masse, yes Oprah Winfrey and Jesse Jackson cried tears of joy, yes the USA took a step forward...and now the real work begins. I will turn 40 at the end of an era and the dawning of a new time. I am energized and hopeful.</span>Dr Fizzicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04169799749598141985noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162623.post-25836234642236597272008-11-03T07:31:00.003-07:002008-11-03T07:36:01.628-07:00Gas Price Temperature Map<a href="http://www.arizonagasprices.com/Price_By_County.aspx"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264439346550246386" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 100px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 67px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh398XiahASik9dE1A9Dv_Kcn8OhQVtHfEauk4dugztWkuU8wdNad7wZMxXbGLaThh66zaMX2XUhT_IMpxHPsK680rYUhwfyKFKnwwVAyG_Or6CBAX57f_KN4Di8jjoM-eVqWjdPw/s400/usa_map_sm.png" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Here is a great gas price temperature map showing current average gas prices in all the counties in the USA.

The July 2006 issue features a story written by my friend Lynette Carrington and photographed by me. The article covers the movie "The Kingdom" being filmed in Arizona, primarily in the Mesa/Gilbert area. Starring in the film are Jamie Foxx, Chris Cooper, Jennifer Garner, and Jason Bateman, to name a few. The plot revolves around a terrorist attack in Arabia that is then investigated by the FBI. The film should hit theaters in the spring of 2007.</span><br /></strong><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">As you may know, I am a survivor of the May 12, 2003 terrorist bombing of US compounds in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I offered to be a consultant for the film but the production company did not give me any sort of reply. The film is loosely based on what happened to me and my coworkers in 2003, an event in which 8 victims and a number of suicide bombers lost their lives...and many of the rest of us were injured.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So it is a good day for me as I now have a magazine photo credit under my belt, but I'm not sure yet if I'm in favor of big studios profiting off of tragedies like this. Had this been a 9/11 film, the victims and their families would have been contacted I'm sure. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Lyle Ford</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Photographer, Writer, Traveler</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Blog: </span><a href="http://www.drfizzics.blogspot.com"><span style="font-family:arial;">http://www.drfizzics.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Photos for Sale: </span><a href="http://www.cafepress.com/drfizzics"><span style="font-family:arial;">http://www.cafepress.com/drfizzics</span></a>Dr Fizzicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04169799749598141985noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162623.post-1151105670248566622006-06-23T16:28:00.000-07:002006-06-23T16:34:33.373-07:00Sunset Photo On NBC News<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1760/540/1600/21%20Jun%2006%20068%20r.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1760/540/320/21%20Jun%2006%20068%20r.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><strong>NBC News broadcast this sunset photo I shot over my back fence Wednesday night, June 21, 2006.</strong></span>Dr Fizzicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04169799749598141985noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162623.post-1149710182232267882006-06-07T12:50:00.000-07:002006-06-09T19:16:02.650-07:00Lightning Photo Broadcast On NBC News<a href="http://www.cafepress.com/drfizzics"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1760/540/320/7%20Jun%2006%20001%20r.2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1760/540/1600/7%20Jun%2006%20001%20r.jpg"></a></p><p align="center"><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1760/540/1600/7%20Jun%2006%20001%20r.jpg"></a></p><p><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong><a href="http://www.kvoa.com">KVOA</a>, the NBC affiliate out of Tucson, broadcast my lightning photo on the noon and 6 pm news on Wednesday, June 7, 2006.
