Beautiful Sky Over Tahlequah
It still feels like late summer here during the second week of October. I noticed these skies today when I was out.
Diff’rent Strokes For Diff’rent Folks
I forgot that we’re in the middle of Hispanic Heritage Month. I know a lot of people would wonder why we should care because so many Americans are of Hispanic heritage. The latest criticism is that Bad Bunny, aka Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio , is performing at the 2026 Super Bowl half-time. He was bornContinue reading “Diff’rent Strokes For Diff’rent Folks”
Rest In Power, Jane Goodall!
Maybe it was fate in her surname that Jane Goodall would spend a good majority of her life observing and studying chimpanzees in their natural habitat totally changing what was believing of the species. Her work became synonymous with people who embed themselves so closely with animals or a certain demographic. Goodall passed away onContinue reading “Rest In Power, Jane Goodall!”
Tilly Norwood: Going Too Far Or The Next Step In Entertainment?
In his memoir Making It So Sir Patrick Stewart comments how the late Sir Ian Holm froze up from stage fright during a production of Eugene O’Neill’s The Iceman Cometh. Holm went on to have an impressive career in movies and on TV. Yet, he stayed away from the stage for decades. Sometimes, even theContinue reading “Tilly Norwood: Going Too Far Or The Next Step In Entertainment?”
Peace And Love Be With The Great People Of Michigan
I may not be a very religious person, but I feel that everyone should be able to go to a place of worship and feel safe. If there’s one place on this planet where violence or even bad thoughts are not welcome it should be churches, synagogues, temples and mosques. Sadly, we’ve seen too muchContinue reading “Peace And Love Be With The Great People Of Michigan”
Nifty Place For A Nest
I stopped by the PetSmart in Broken Arrow, Okla. a few weeks ago and as I was leaving, I noticed a bird’s nest in the sign above the store. I thought it was a nice place to build a nest as some people have birds as pets themselves. I’ve thought about it a couple ofContinue reading “Nifty Place For A Nest”
Class Dismissed For Ryan Walters
When I was covering education in Oklahoma schools about 15 years ago, it was ranked 17th in the nation and then the next year in 2011, it was ranked 11th. Not bad for a state that is often the butt of jokes. Yet, when I was covering education, I noticed faculty/staff and administrators were moreContinue reading “Class Dismissed For Ryan Walters”
Taylor Ferry Beach
Summer may be officially over but I took these pics the other day of Taylor Ferry Beach on Fort Gibson Lake, a few miles from my house. The U.S. government under the Flood Control Act of 1941 constructed the Fort Gibson Gravity Dam a few miles north to on the Grand (Neosho) River to formContinue reading “Taylor Ferry Beach”
“I’m A Man! I’m 40!” Sayonara!
Not to say that Mike Gundy didn’t have a great ride as the head coach of Oklahoma State University’s Cowboys football team, but he kinda became a joke after the Sept. 22, 2007 close win over Texas Tech. That was the day when he screamed as loud as he could, “I’m a man! I’m 40!”Continue reading ““I’m A Man! I’m 40!” Sayonara!”
