A Great City?……

A couple of news items from local Oklahoma City broadcasts…… Apparently, Forbes magazine has rated OKC as the most “Recession proof” city in the USA….. My outlook on it, as a local resident, is if you’re already “recessed” as far as you can go, it would be hard to “recess” any further (Ha)….. Right on [...]

Run, Hide, I’m Coming to the MR NW

Mrs. JJ and myself are officially planning our semi annual trek to the Great White Northwest for this X-Mas season. Hopefully we will be able to spend a whole week with all you up there. Maybe this time I won’t get lost trying to find Jek’s house. So warm up the coffee, Break open the [...]

Don’t Go Near the WATER!….

It looks as if Jek was “Used and Returned” and then forgotten!….. Don’t worry, we’ll be back soon to get you (sure we will)….. In the meantime, keep your children away….. “Jaws” was nothin’……

Hide Me!……

Today, in OKC, we are experiencing our 15th straight day of rain, which breaks all recorded rainfall records and it’s still coming down…… Of course, this doesn’t mean continuous rain, but, precipitation in some amount on every day…… This started on the 13th, which, just so happens to be the exact day I returned from [...]

High (?) in The Olympics……

As requested by Jek, here are a couple of starter shots from my Great North West Adventure….. This is “Hurricane Ridge”…… It’s in The Olympic Mountains and over a mile above sea level….. The cool thing is that you’re not that far from sea level, as in the Pacific Ocean…… Here’s my “Best Shot” from [...]

Tim’s!

One of the things I miss most about Seattle is Tim’s Cascade style potato chips. I’ve regularly had them in Boulder/Denver, and our local Albertson’s carried them for about a week here in central OK. My dear wife brought back from Border’s tonight two snack-size bags of Tim’s. Awesome! I know they can be ordered [...]

Thunder and Lightning!………

I’m a bit slow on getting this posted, but, J.J.’s weather compliant made me think it was time….. If you remember my North to Alaska (Almost) post, I stated that I did bring an official Oklahoma Thunderstorm to Seattle…… Check-out this picture that was taken that day!……. That IS the Space Needle on the right….. [...]

Happy T-Day (Still Rainin’, Still Dreamin’)……

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone……. To borrow a phrase from Hendrix, It is still raining, but, there’s a strong Oklahoma wind mixed in with it……. I’m actually getting what I came for – rain and clouds…… Nice change from Oklahoma’s Sun, Sun, Sun….. Again, Happy T-Day…… Enjoy!……..

It Is Halloween!…..

……and a real scary one too!….. I just read in the paper that the Seattle SuperSonics are, as of today, owned by Oklahomans….. Ouch!….. All because the Sonics think they are too good for the Key Arena….. Is that “StupidSonics”???….. Just wait until they get to Oklahoma….. What is that old saying, “The grass is [...]

Allan Holdsworth – Still Going

I saw the Allan Holdsworth & Alan Pasqua Group tonight and I must say they were quite good.  One of the highlights was the drummer, Chad Wackerman.  He was amazing.  His site sez that he played quite a bit with Zappa in the 80′s.  It is very likely that he was with Zappa when I [...]

Money Maggots At Work…….

Oh, I guess I’m supposed to be politically correct and call them magnates, but I think maggots fits much better…… Not really being a sports nut nor a gambler (I think if gambling laws were enforced you would see a very serious drop in the interest of professional sports)…… At 5:00 pm CST today, the [...]

Watch those pedestrians

That pedestrian crossing the road may not be your buddy: he may be an undercover police officer.  On a single day alone, Seattle police handed out tickets for 1 in 6 crossings, amounting to 21 tickets.  This is in response to a surge in Seattle pedestrian collisions. (See Know the rules of the road? for [...]

GhostCycle — Bicycle awareness

Earlier this week, broken, beat-up bikes entirely painted with white primer appeared tied to select Seattle street lights with signs on them that read “a cyclist was struck here”.  It is a move by an anonymous group to promote bike awareness to car drivers.  Each GhostCycle has a story behind it posted on GhostCycle.org.  This [...]
