Mid-Afternoon Bird Flight Amongst the Clouds – Okinawa 2006
A bird enjoying the mid-afternoon breeze by ridin’ the wave. Also, two of the annual hawks came by very briefly later in the afternoon. Hopefully, I will be able to get some better shots this year.

Now a thought on the latest wave to roll my way (something I was told about last night), coupons:
1) it doesn’t seem to be an equitable means of distributing funds…depending on who gets the coupons, the finances will go to “friends” thereby producing the possiblity of keeping funds in a loop
2) if a guarantee to protect against counterfeit coupons is arranged, this leaves several possible misuses
a) a disreputable person could distribute counterfeits within a loop thereby providing additional funds to “friends” and/or self
b) a disreputable person could flood any given business with counterfeits thereby placing said business under suspicion of fraud
c) or a disreputable person could do both, thereby producing a total manipulation of the market
3) if no guarantee against counterfits is arranged, it leaves a business wide open to loss of funds through counterfeits
Even though intentions may be good, there are too many opportunities for misuse.
I say NO to coupons…..
