*** Duel track meet in Eugene, Oregon, Track town USA
Main:
: To quote Larry McMurty on poet Janet Lewis after the death of her husband: “she did go back to the desert, to the places of the pueblo peoples, the Hopi and Navajo, peoples who appear to live in harmony with the eternal simplicities: sun, stone, sky. She ponders a fossil:”
In quiet dark transformed to stone,
Cell after cell to crystal grown,
The pattern stays, the substance gone….

Legacy Journal: Mustang- Myths, Mascots and Machines
Section:
Essays
Summary:
“The air of heaven is that which blows between a horse’s ears.” --- An Arab Proverb.
“Far back, far back in our dark soul the horse prances ... The horse, the horse! The symbol of surging potency and power of movement, of action ...” ----- D.H. Lawrence
“There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.”
------ Winston Churchill
: “The most beautiful, the most spirited and the most inspiring creature ever to print foot on the grasses of America.”
------- J.Frank Dobie- Texan Folklorist, of the Mustangs
Main:
: The mustang is a feral horse with Spanish roots that has ranged the western part of the North American continent for more than 500 years. In the north western Spanish empire in the New World, Native American tribes valued the trained “Big Dogs” and acquired them as the opportunity presented itself. Failing that, they did domesticate the feral fall out and leavings. The horse has evolved and adapted to the conditions of the west: dry deserts, rocky and steep terrain, harsh winters, and scant grass and browse.
Today, BML land in Harney County and the Steens Mountain south east of Burns, Oregon is the home of the Kiger Mustang, the model for the animated movie Spirit of Cimarron.
:: The mustang is the mascot of SMU, UCDavis, Cal State at SLO, and the former Malin, H.S. , Oregon state “B” champions in football and basketball.
::: Ford Mustang automobile, the Mustang fighter aircraft, and various power speed boats are example of compact high performance machines.

Legacy Journal: Saturday Science Session
Section:
Science and Technology
Summary:
“I am quite conscious that my speculations run quite beyond the bounds of true science.” - From a letter to Asa Gray, Harvard biology professor, cited in Charles Darwin and the Problem of Creation, N.C. Gillespie, p.2)
“A scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections,—a mere heart of stone”
“How paramount the future is to the present when one is surrounded by children”
--------- Charles Darwin
The preserved collection of the voluminous correspondence of Charles Darwin fills volumes and is the source of much of the current spate of publications on the man, his methods and his motives. Part of that legacy can be found in the UK at the Darwin Correspondence Project.
Main:
: Asa Gray, Born 1810 in Oneida C. NY ,Fisher Professor of natural history, and Herbarium Director, Harvard University, 1842–88. Wrote numerous botanical textbooks and works on North American flora. President of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 1863–73; president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, 1872; a regent of the Smithsonian Institution, 1874–88. Foreign member, Royal Society of London, 1873. One of his collectors was John C. Fremont.
The Herbarium is part of the Harvard Museum of Natural History which shares its site with the Peabody Museum of Archeology and Ethnography. The botany department, museum and medical school have graduated the drug culture cult hero, Andrew Weil of Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Arizona.
Recently, part of the Gray Darwin correspondence, quote #2) has been lifted from Gillespie and used to attack the scientific (hypothesis, theory) of evolution and elevate the “theory of Creation Science”.

Almanac
Summary:
“ It is we who are trouble. The earth is OK.” ---- Bad news. Good News.
* Somalia is unraveling, East Africa is in tribal turmoil, Tibet is troubled, diesel fuel and rice are up, the dollar is down, and global warming is starving the eco-tourist’s long suffering friend, the migrating grey whales.
The good news comes from the NCAA MBB tournament site in Detroit is that the number 10 seeded Davidson College Wildcats, Stephen Curry, and Coach Mc blindsided the Badgers of Wisconsin.
** Daniel Boone is part of the North Carolina heroic story.
*** Meanwhile, for an MIT chemistry professor, all is worry and woe on the energy war frontiers as reported from the Aspen Institute and National Geographic conference in Colorado. The whine is “ we need funding to do the research that will save the World from ourselves.” UofR will be hosting alum Stephen Chu from California at an energy big picture update on 17 April.
