Well we could have the alternative. Remember this?
…What was I going to say?…. Oh, yeah, If you live anywhere around MR HQ and want to venture outside, you’d be well advised to do it in the night time…. If you do it in the Day time, you might suffer from Spontaneous Combustion (P-u-u-f-f!)…. It was 110 degrees in the shade yesterday (another […]

That’s a line from “Cold Turkey” by John Lennon…… Right now it fits Oklahoma – We keep jumping from Spring to Summer to Winter – back to Summer, etc…… I’ll make this short and not-so-sweet – “The Climate it’s a ‘Changin’ “ It was 94 degrees in OKC yesterday, this broke the existing high record […]
You know when the Digital TV change happened I like many others fought it as long as I could. Even after visiting with my Bro In Law whom is a Broadcast Engineer(Radio & TV) I still did not see the need to change what was working. Move forward to 2011 I just rescanned my channels […]

The latest […]

Believe me, I have opinions on anything!…. Just ask Jek….. Just give me a direction – Music, Politics (yuck), History, etc., etc….. Just […]
Jek gave me a idea from a comment. I know a lot of our community is from the Oklahoma area,( sorry Seattleites) so Anybody got any good stories related to any of our malls? That will be going away soon, or even those that will survive the e-commerce revolution. (Penn Square, Quail Springs, Sooner Fashion(Norman),Heritage […]
I was listening to Eggman the last 2 days and the topic of choice is the controversy surrounding the singing of the National anthem at Sooner games. Now it has been over 30 years since I set foot inside Owen Stadium for a game but I hear the new thing is at the end of […]
