I have been following the progress of the Devon Energy World Headquarters in Oklahoma City for just about a year.  I took this and other photos  yesterday, January 30, 2011.  As you can see there are 29 floors and the building is 474 feet tall and just about half way up.  It will be 850 [...]

    I was browsing through the Laughing Squid site when I saw a post from Scott Beale that had this video on there.  They had the embedding feature disabled so I had to go look it up on Youtube directly.  If you like airplanes and just pretty scenery you will like this video.  I [...]

We have been living in limbo for the last year and a half while we worked on our house and then sold it.  We will not be moving into a new house until the end of 2011.  For this reason all of my ham radio equipment is still in storage.  As a ham radio for [...]

Among my many strange hobbies, I spend a great deal of time studying maps.  As a resident of the central Oklahoma area, I have heard people for years tell me they live in Newalla, Oklahoma.  For years I have done pretty much what everyone else does and accepted that.  They would tell me they lived [...]

Recently I posted a message about Home Owners Associations (HOA) and wanted to do a follow up to that post. In our search for a new home, I have learned a lot about the process and about people in general. After having a heated discussion with a coworker that I really like, I had to [...]

After what seemed like the longest winter in history in 2010, this year has been very dry and not too cold so far.  Although Midwest City did receive a little bit of snow in December, the rest of the metro area just received rain.  The snow that we did receive was very little and was [...]

Today I find myself talking about a subject that angers me within seconds so if you love home owners associations, I would suggest that you move on and do not read any further.  You may remember about a month ago I posted about how we had started the process to begin building a new home.  [...]
