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.

I was browsing across Flickr today when I stumbled on this photo of Wynnewood, Oklahoma.  Someone posted a rather negative coment about how colorless and gloomy a place this must be.  He went on to ask if the photographer has spoken with these kids to see if there was a sense of desperation among them.  [...]

This morning we rose early to go to Checotah, Oklahoma to visit my father in law.  We had a pretty good time there except that I was a little under the weather.  Early this morning our warm weather came to an end as a cold front came crashing through.  At 4:00 AM a line of [...]

This tree is finally dead after I have cut roots, cut the bark, and poisoned it.  After the terrible ice storm we had back in December we lost power for a week.  These fences were covered by trees all the way around.  I have poisoned them and cut them down over the last few months [...]

In recent days we have begun to hear a steady engine running 24 hours a day.  Occasionally we hear some banging and scraping sounds.  I can hear this noise in my own bedroom at night so it is a good thing that I sleep with a fan for noise.  I am not opposed to drilling [...]

The ongoing drama of the NBA arriving or not to Oklahoma City has been a roller coaster but has finally happened.  On Friday, April 18th the NBA’s board of governors voted 28 – 2 to allow the Seattle Supersonics to relocate to Oklahoma City.  Our city has longed to have a team ever since the [...]

I was talking to my dad on the cell phone and he told me about this site so I drove over to check it out. Forgive the quality of this picture but the sun was going down. This is the Captain D’s restaurant in Midwest City, Oklahoma just East of Sooner Road on Reno. The [...]

Hello everyone, It has been an amazing year that is likely to get better next year.  Yesterday we went to Checotah, Oklahoma near Lake Eufaula to visit with my father in-law and do our Christmas thing.  We always do it the Saturday after Christmas so everyone can be there.  We had a good time and [...]
