Ice, Snow, and No Electricity…..

I know, It’s the same old bitch about the electric companies again…… We’re in an ongoing Freezing Rain/Ice/Sleet/Snow storm right now, and, the power outages are already above the 150,000 mark….. In the 2007 Ice Storm over 600,000 were without power, and, some areas did not have power restored for over 4 WEEKS!….. [...]

Earthquakes, Anyone?…..

The earthquake in Haiti got me to thinking….. There’s a small town called Jones about 4 miles from where I live….. Usually they have 2 to 3 small earthquakes a year – about a 2.0 to 2.5, but, in the last 3 months, they have had over 30, yes 30 earthquakes!….. The [...]

Annexed by Canada….eh?

Yep, Hosers, it’s been below freezing here in the Heartland almost constantly since even before the record breaking blizzard we had on Christmas Eve….eh?… Snow everywhere (even yellow snow) and c-o-o-l-l-d…… So-o-o, we’ve been annexed into the British Empire via Canada…. Take Off, eh?…… Here’s the details……
I woke up yesterday with a [...]

Enjoying the Weather?….

How’s those temps been the last week or so up there in the Great Northwest…. eh?….. Yep, I thought I would send you Northwesterners just a little taste of our Oklahoma summertime weather…. I wasn’t able to include the usual high humidity that we have though, but, I think you got the [...]

105, 105, 105……

Yep, that’s the forecasted temps for the OKC area for the next three days…… We’ve been in the triple digits for the past few days, and, it looks like it will continue out past the three days, and we are one of the, dare I say, cool spots in the state…… The panhandle [...]

Talk about the Weather……

If you don’t have all your thought’s together, you can always talk about the weather…… It appears to be getting weirder and weirder by the minute….. All of Oklahoma’s tornadoes and storms we usually get this time of year seem to be hammering Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, and points to the Northeast….. It [...]

Jump Into The Fire……

I’m sure at least some of you are familiar with this classic song by “Harry Nilsson”….. If you were in Oklahoma yesterday, you would have been trying to do just the opposite – Jump Out Of The FIRE!…… We had wildfires all the way from the Texas border to the Kansas border!….. [...]

Ground Hog Day……..

As I am sure everyone is aware of, yesterday was Ground Hog Day……. Well, I decided to see what our local version of the ground hog – the prairie dog – actually did on February 2nd….. So-o-o, I staked-out the abode of one of our local P-dogs…. Let’s call him Bob…… [...]

Slip Sliding Away…. Whoa! I SAID WHOA!

We are having quite the winter experience here in Seattle. Snow, ice, and cold, cold temps. It’s been particularly challenging to drive in certain areas. Personally I have not even cranked the engine in a week. I’ve been riding the bus and walking to get around when I need to. [...]

Blowin’ In The Wind……

What the heck is up with the Weather?….. Has someone came up with a weather control device and attacking the World, or, have we just finally ruined our Planet?….. There were 170 tornadoes in the U.S. just yesterday alone…… We only have two seasons in Oklahoma now – Winter and Summer….. [...]

It’s Gettin’ Close…..

…. and I’m way behind….. I don’t know if I can get away with blaming the weather, but, I’ll give it a shot….. Not only was I without power for a full week, two days after OG&E replaced the downed lines and had everything up and running, I had power spikes and loss [...]

Frozen In…..

Back to the above ground electric lines….. Here, in Oklahoma, they are on the ground…. Over 600,000 customers without power, which includes yours truly since Sunday night around 10 pm….. That’s households and businesses, not people…. You would need to multiply by 2 or 3 or so to get a ballpark [...]

Simple Physics

A plane is flying west to east the pilot See’s a full circle rainbow.
1.) Where’s the sun in relation to the plane?
2.) Where’s the plane’s shadow in relation to the rainbow?
3.) Where’s the rain in relation to the plane?

FZ is stuck in Coffeyville…..

Yep, it’s true…… I recently ordered two new FZ DVD’s – “Dub Room Special” and “Apostrophe/Over-nite Sensation” from Amazon….. They processed the order and charged my credit card….. Today I got this e-mail:
Hello from Amazon.com.
We’re writing to let you know that a shipment from your order #103-8257277-5232602 has been delayed due to [...]

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 [...]
