KOKC (Formerly KOMA) 1520

Mar 05, 2010 Posted Under: Personal

  These three towers are an amazing source for a powerful 50,000 watt signal.  The towers may reside at 35.333450° -97.505217°, 35.333276° -97.504729° and 35.333092° -97.504224° respectively but their signal can be heard well over 1,000 miles away.  My dad use to work at this station back in the 1960′s when it was KOMA AM.

Christmas Eve Snowstorm

Dec 24, 2009 Posted Under: Christmas, Events, Personal, holiday, weather

Wow!  We often complain about never having snow here in Oklahoma City.  Most of the time if we do have winter weather, it ends up being sleet or freezing rain.  Yesterday it was a nice 65 degrees and we were really enjoying it.  This morning I woke up at 6:00 AM and it was raining.  [...]

Gangland: Crazy Killers (Latino Gang In Oklahoma City, OK) [44 Minutes] You may remember a post back in January when I took many gang graffiti pictures around South Oklahoma City.  This post had become a hostile place for rivals to post their hatred toward one another.  It got so bad that I had to disable [...]

T-Mobile 3G in Oklahoma City

Oct 15, 2009 Posted Under: Oklahoma City, T-Mobile, cell phones

I would like to thank Shawn Wright for Tweeting the post… “@tmonews can you confirm 3G in OKC? My phone just started indicating 3G…” It was his Twitter post that made me check to see if it was true.  It looks as though our T-Mobile has finally turned on 3G for most of the Oklahoma [...]

Multiculturalism

Aug 16, 2009 Posted Under: Oklahoma City, opinion

Yesterday I was driving around in our local Asian District and thought I would take this picture of the sign.  I have mixed feelings about things like this because although it is nice to have many cultures around, it also makes me wonder if our own culture is being squeezed out.  While Oklahoma City is [...]

Summer in Oklahoma City

Jul 12, 2009 Posted Under: Events, Oklahoma City, weather

  I guess it is that time again.  The photo above shows the temperature as 109 degrees while the National Weather Service only listed the high as 105.  Oklahoma gets a little of both cold and hot.  This is fairly common temperatures to get in summer though it only happens about two weeks each year.  [...]

Rainbow

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 [...]

Club HOG

Jun 07, 2009 Posted Under: Events, Oklahoma City

  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 [...]

Pretty Cool Storm

May 14, 2009 Posted Under: Del City, college, weather

  I have been off work the last couple of days because I have poison ivy from cutting down some trees at my dad’s place.  Since I usually have to go to bed early because I have to be at work early, I usually miss out on the good storms.  Last night around 10:45 PM [...]

Rivendell

This afternoon I was driving around and came upon this arch about 50 feet tall in the affluent Rivendell housing development in Southwest Oklahoma City where some home values exceed $1 million dollars.  This arch is at a roundabout near Southwest 131st Street, just East of May Avenue. I was amazed that it was not [...]
