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)…..

If you’re in Chicago, you gotta check out Bifunkal. They are an extremely impressive duo. Bifunkal’s music is a blend of Progressive Rock, Funk (duh), Reggae, Pop, and more!

On my recent vacation/inspection of the Great North West, I took lots of pics, and had just as many, or more, taken of me with my camera…… Here’s the deal – The person I see in the photos doesn’t look like the person I see in the mirror!….. I understand the reverse image [...]
On my way to the Great Northwest, I ran across this at one of the newsstands in the Salt Lake City airport…… Tommy Chong has written a book of his life and times, including how he was targeted by our lovely government that resulted in him serving time……
The name of the book is “I [...]
