This season is the first for our Oklahoma City Thunder.  They have not been the most impressive in the world to watch with their many losses so far.  As of today they have only won four games and appear to be on the door of their fifth (hopefully).  Tonight they have been as high as [...]

Anyone that has driven I-40 downtown has probably noticed the increase in their automobile suspension repair bills.  This bridge that spans close to three miles has been falling apart piece by piece.  This stretch of freeway is being rebuilt six blocks to the south and will mostly be underground.  This photos was just meant as [...]

It is hard to find anything more pleasing than a nice morning sunrise when you do not have to go to work.  The beauty of my situation this morning is that it is the end of the year and I have some use or lose vacation time that I have to burn so I took [...]

The new Oklahoma City Thunder NBA team video.  The original is on http://www.nba.com/thunder but it would not load on here as easy.  I read the team is not only auditioning a new dance team but also a drum line.  That should be interesting to see how a drum line can make a thunder sound.  It [...]

If you are familiar with Oklahoma summers you may have heard the peculiar loud clicking sounds coming from the trees.  This cicada is the culprit and when you hear them you know that it is not just summer but the hottest part of the summer.   For some reason, the locals call them locust but they are really [...]

I had high hopes for getting a lot of things done this weekend prior to going on a temporary duty (TDY) to San Antonio but did not get much of it done at all.  We spent most of the day yesterday cleaning out my father in-law’s rent house on the next street.  The former renters [...]

I stumbled on a video post by sports journalist Berry Tramel of the Oklahoman where he goes on a rant against message boards. You must view this video where he shows his arrogance. It is not that often that I come across someone this blatantly afraid of free speech. The context of this video is [...]

There has been a lot of excitement here in the Oklahoma City area about getting an NBA team. This excitement is from all types of people that I have run into since this story broke a week ago. There is one type of person that really gets on my nerves though and it seems that [...]
