A couple of news items from local Oklahoma City broadcasts…… Apparently, Forbes magazine has rated OKC as the most “Recession proof” city in the USA….. My outlook on it, as a local resident, is if you’re already “recessed” as far as you can go, it would be hard to “recess” any further (Ha)….. Right on […]
As I was driving home a couple of days ago, I saw this new huge billboard with the following: The first line was in huge capitol letters taking up most of the top half of the bill board – OKLAHOMA – In much smaller letters the following was proclaimed: “The electric guitar was invented in […]
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 […]
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 […]
Yep, it’s true…… I recently ordered two new FZ DVD’s – “Dub Room Special” and “Apostrophe/Over-nite Sensation” from Amazon….. They processed the order and charged my credit card….. Today I got this e-mail: Hello from Amazon.com. We’re writing to let you know that a shipment from your order #103-8257277-5232602 has been delayed due to the […]
Today, in OKC, we are experiencing our 15th straight day of rain, which breaks all recorded rainfall records and it’s still coming down…… Of course, this doesn’t mean continuous rain, but, precipitation in some amount on every day…… This started on the 13th, which, just so happens to be the exact day I returned from […]
This is one of those things that I’ve wondered about for quite some time and just can’t figure out…… You would think that the biggest business’s in Oklahoma would be in horses, cattle, or oil production, but, it would appear not….. Almost every other commercial on local TV and radio stations are from new car […]
I know I’ve said this before, but anyone out there who doesn’t live in Oklahoma that wants to switch living places with me, just let me know…… The last two days we have had sustained winds from 30 mph to 50 mph with temps in the 50’s and 60’s causing numerous wildfires….. Tomorrow a major […]
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone……. To borrow a phrase from Hendrix, It is still raining, but, there’s a strong Oklahoma wind mixed in with it……. I’m actually getting what I came for – rain and clouds…… Nice change from Oklahoma’s Sun, Sun, Sun….. Again, Happy T-Day…… Enjoy!……..
……and a real scary one too!….. I just read in the paper that the Seattle SuperSonics are, as of today, owned by Oklahomans….. Ouch!….. All because the Sonics think they are too good for the Key Arena….. Is that “StupidSonics”???….. Just wait until they get to Oklahoma….. What is that old saying, “The grass is […]
There’s a construction project out for a new park in Clinton, OK – The Acme Brick Park….. It’s rumored Wylie Coyote (Super Genius), a life-long customer of Acme products, will attend the dedication ceremonies if he can get clearance from Warner Brothers……
On maps and blueprints North is almost always toward the top of the page (in the U. S. of A. anyway)….. Notice I said “almost”….. Yesterday I started a cost estimation on a new building to be built at Edmond Memorial High School ( a suburb of OKC)….. I pulled up the Roof Plan page […]
Since the last “Educational Quiz” was geographically based, I saw a story on the news about this couple that visited every city, town, ville, ghost town, and hole-in-the-wall in the state of Oklahoma….. It took them six years and over 32,000 miles to do it….. Why?….. I don’t know…. They were retired, but, have since […]
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 […]
Tomorrow we have primary elections….. Here are the last names of some of the candidates: Savage, Hunter, Gigger, and Mankiller….. With names like that I predict some “Brutal Politics” in Oklahoma come the November elections…..
