Boy Was I Wrong?

Jun 30, 2009 Posted Under: digital photography, opinion, Personal, photography, weather

It is not that often that a person can get it so wrong that it brings fear to them.  Just 30 minutes ago I was complaining about the rain always missing us. This evening was shaping up to be another one of those evenings where there is a line of thunderstorms that goes completely across [...]

Rainbow

Jun 30, 2009 Posted Under: digital photography, photography, weather

Tonight a storm went by here and barely brushed by us to the East.  We did manage to get enough light rain while the sun shine over head.  The one good thing that did come from this was this pretty rainbow to the East.  I will take whatever rain we can get but we really [...]

How Does This Happen?

Jun 30, 2009 Posted Under: opinion, weather

  I long ago noticed a trend that happens more often than you may think. I have noticed that many times we will have a line of storms that go from Kansas to Texas, or Texas to Arkansas and the storm will somehow miss us.  How does this happen?  The storm will be a non [...]

  June 25th 2009 was meant to be an exciting day with the first ever NBA draft for the Oklahoma City Thunder. With the Thunder getting the third draft pick it was sure to be a great day.  It was a Thursday that was going to be a Friday for me because I was taking [...]

This week has been very busy with having to work overtime the last two weekends in a row and working two hours overtime each day.  Some point this week, my HF antenna fell from the tower and landed on my next door neighbor’s power line.  Both the antenna and her power line were insulated so [...]

We went on our vacation a couple weeks ago and had a great time despite being dominated by a poison ivy breakout from an unmentionable place.  Among the many things we did while on vacation, we went back to one of our Air Force homes at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona.  What can [...]

  I ran across this video on Youtube today advertising some motorcycle event coming to Oklahoma City this month.  I have never been much of a motorcycle fan myself but I have many friends and relatives that do.  This event is supposed to bring thousands of Harley Davidson riders to the Oklahoma City area.  It [...]

Good Morning

Jun 07, 2009 Posted Under: education, opinion, politics

This image was taken in Tucson, Arizona at the encouragement of my 16 year old son.  He saw the foolishness of how the Border Patrol labeled the spot where you put the gas in this truck.  I posted this to make a point that the United States government is not the right people to be [...]

Poison Ivy Almost Gone

Jun 05, 2009 Posted Under: Internet, opinion, Personal, radio

This morning I woke up to go to work and was still itching pretty bad though you could barely see it.  This evening when I came home from work I noticed something was different.  No itching at all!  After four and a half weeks it is finally on its way out and all I can [...]

Bing.com

Jun 03, 2009 Posted Under: Internet, opinion, technology

Today was the official launch of Bing.com, Microsoft’s new search engine.  This is the successor to MSN.com’s search and I must say that I like it.  Probably what piqued my curiosity was the fact that it was from Microsoft.  I am not a huge Microsoft fan by any stretch but I tend to give them [...]
