Last night the Oklahoma City Thunder played and lost game six of the first round of the NBA playoffs.  The Lakers won by one point when Pau Gasol assisted a missed shot by Kobe Bryant with one half second left on the clock.  It was a heart breaking loss but at the same time it [...]

  Nice video from the Thunder web site showing the excitement of the NBA playoffs.  Listen to the crowd.  Game four comes on at 8:30 tonight, 24 Apr 10 on ESPN.

Over the last couple of months I have been pretty busy with work and trying to fix the house.  I have not really been inspired to post anything on this website except when I have been upset about something.  We have all heard the expression that says “If you don’t have anything nice to say [...]

I was just watching the Oklahoma City Thunder game and saw this commercial come on.  I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.  I can just imagine setting her lawn on fire and expecting her to welcome him into her home.  I know this is not that funny but for some reason I [...]

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 [...]
