Frozen In…..

Back to the above ground electric lines….. Here, in Oklahoma, they are on the ground…. Over 600,000 customers without power, which includes yours truly since Sunday night around 10 pm….. That’s households and businesses, not people…. You would need to multiply by 2 or 3 or so to get a ballpark figure on the number […]

If You Want It…..

…..Here It Is….. At your local Chevy dealer….. Another Lennon/McCartney song (actually Paul wrote it for Badfinger) used in a TV commercial….. Thanks again, MJ!….. I wonder if the big execs ever watched the movie “Magic Christian”?…… The Badfinger version of this song is played over a scene where people are diving for money in […]

Unemployment Update……………

If anyone cares .Well Friends It’s been a few weeks and this experiment has gone horribly wrong. As you all know I quit a Perfectly huh! good job 3 weeks ago to pursue local employment, 1st I went to work for a company that completely misrepresented the job. After 2 days of grueling physical work […]

It’s Fair Time…..SO WHAT

Maybe I’m becoming an old curmudgeon but I am already tired of hearing about the fair. I don’t care about any of the rides, all the exhibits in the buildings are about selling overpriced trinkets. The concerts are only places for the PWT kids to gather and try to buy beer and show off, Seems […]

What ever happened to…..?

Service and taking pride in doing a good job in this country. We went out to eat last night the restaurant did not have certain items ready that should have been, the cooks were playing grab A*@ in the back and the wait staff was having to make up excuses for them. They were apologising […]

HALLIBURTON

OK, MRamblers, let it fly. I would like to know what you really think.

Remember Pearl Harbor?

If you are a “Politically Correct” kind of person, then read no further!….. As of today (December 7th), it’s been 65 years since the Japanese brutally and savagely pulled-off their unprovoked infamous “sneak attack” against The United States at Pearl Harbor in 1941….. To me, the Japanese were far more fanatical and “Pure Evil” than […]

Leave It To O.G.& E…….

O.G.& E. is our local electric company….. Today they had a sub-station go down causing power outages in South OKC, Moore, and Norman (home of OU) resulting in 3,800 customers burning-up in the 105 degree temperature we had today (and yesterday, and tomorrow)….. Not one to call them liars as to the reason this happened […]

Speaking of Airlines…….

I have a question……. On the national news yesterday, they ran a story on the airline’s recovery from 911….. The three major airlines were showing profits from 150 million to 350 million this year, which is more than double their profits for the same period last year…… They accomplished this by cutting flights resulting in […]

Money Maggots At Work…….

Oh, I guess I’m supposed to be politically correct and call them magnates, but I think maggots fits much better…… Not really being a sports nut nor a gambler (I think if gambling laws were enforced you would see a very serious drop in the interest of professional sports)…… At 5:00 pm CST today, the […]

Is Everyone a Self-centered S.O.B. these days?…..

……or am I just the only person who runs into them?…… I sold a piece of property a few years back…… The person I sold it to was a friend of a co-worker……. Seemed like a nice hard working person with limited resources, so I sold him the property on a payment plan spanning over […]

Cell Phone Games……

What “Peanut Head” writes those games, anyway?……. I have a Motorola V60i which is ancient by today’s standards and it has only three games on it in the first place…… You’d think that they would make them so that you could at least have a 50-50 chance of winning – better still, they should be […]

Thank You Michael Jackson…..

I just saw a Chase bank credit card commercial using “All You Need is Love”…… Luckily, they couldn’t use The Beatles recorded version, but, this one is so close you have to listen carefully to notice that it isn’t the original….. My question is if all you need is love, why on earth do I […]

You Call This Government?……

How could a government agency allow a person to “take-home” the personal records of 26.5 million veterans on a personal computer?…… One of which was probably mine, knowing my luck……. I guess they were going to do an “all-nighter” if they were going to process 26.5 million records in one night!….. But then, the personal […]

Automotive Future…..

Does anyone think that the automotive manufacturers are going to offer any viable alternatives to the dinosaur-powered models on the market now?….. I don’t see anything that would make any major impact coming out in the near future….. I’m still seeing ads for big V-8’s and large SUV’s from all the manufacturers….. Granted, I’m a […]
