"He taught him horsemanship, archery and how to wield lasso, rein and stirrup, and what and when and how, the rites of of convivial society, of formal ceremony and the symposium; hawking, falconry and how to hunt with the cheetah; what was justice or the lack of it; what the throne and the crown meant; how to deliver orations and how to go to war and lead an army."

Smoky Sunset
Luckily we haven't had any more major wildfires for the last couple of months. Last week though, we had a lot of haze in the air from smoke that had blown in from fires in Idaho and Oregon. That made for some beautiful spooky sunsets like this one.

Great shot. Reminds me of the rummor that post-nuclear war survivors will be compensated for their troubles by gorgeous sunsets...
