We are fortunate this year to have green grass in August.  It is not very often when the driest, hottest time of year ends up being very comfortable as it has been this year.  Oklahoma has a little of both cold and hot here being in the central plains.  We have about 36 inches of [...]

It is not that often that a person can get it so wrong that it brings fear to them.  Just 30 minutes ago I was complaining about the rain always missing us. This evening was shaping up to be another one of those evenings where there is a line of thunderstorms that goes completely across [...]

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 [...]

  I long ago noticed a trend that happens more often than you may think. I have noticed that many times we will have a line of storms that go from Kansas to Texas, or Texas to Arkansas and the storm will somehow miss us.  How does this happen?  The storm will be a non [...]

This day we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus after being crucified.  His death and resurrection was a necessary action to pay for our sins.  To a Christian this is probably the most important day of the year as it reminds us to be grateful for the sacrifice Jesus did for us.  This day has nothing [...]

It was less than a month ago in the midst of a typical summer day in Oklahoma. It was hot and sunny and our lawns were dying away with no hope of revival. During the midst of this, I lost my cat of six years and was very angry at my father in-law for allowing [...]

Well if you can believe it, at 1:40 PM today I finally finished reposting all the lost posts on my blog that was lost when I damaged my blog database.  Some old posts from 2006 were unrecoverable.  Those that I did recover were thanks to Facebook’s importation of my blog.  It imported back to December [...]

Yesterday I went to update my blog to the newest WordPress 2.6 and I managed to destroy my sql database.  How nice is that when you have more than two years of blog posts?  I had to start completely over yesterday and repost all my blog posts one at at time.  I have been working [...]

We finally received a little rain during the night hours last night. It did comply with typical OKC rules in that it was between the hours of midnight and 3:00 AM. I know it is just a coincidence but it seems that 90% of the time, we only receive rain between the hours of midnight [...]
