Blog Oklahoma Podcast

I finally was able to work on part of that task I mentioned last episode, that has been eluding me for some time.  I was able to craw up our new ladder, and start the much needed scrapping of the paint.  I worked on the job for a few hours removing the old weathered pealing green paint. And just as I was finishing up the sky grew gray and dark, as if something ominous was happened.

I don't know about you, but my Saturday ended up being a nice relaxing day of TV, web browsing, and shopping.  I hadn't planed to do any of that.  I actually planed to do something else entirely.  Seems I'm on some sort of forced procrastination when it comes to one single outside chore I need to get done. ....Oklahoma Voter Registration Deadline For November 4th General Election is Friday, October 10th.

Blog Oklahoma Podcast 6: MidwayThis is the part of the podcast where I give you an opening topic, but today I can't think of what to say.  I could go into the news and talk about current events like the government bail out of large companies, thoughts on the upcoming election, comment on the Oklahoma state fair, which is wrapping up as I record this. And all sorts of other news topics.  But I just couldn't pick one to talk about.  So what will my opening thoughts be?In The News:Some of the latest headlines from the Oklahoma blog-o-sphere and (Bum Bum Buuuum) the main stream media.This week in Oklahoma History:The Oklahoma Route 66 Museum officially opened on September 23, 1995, Blog Oklahoma News.Show Links: Voice Mail Drop: Twitter:

On these last few rainy days I got to thinking about my friends.  Mostly the friends I've lost touch with.  Its been time, distance, or both that has separated us from each other.  Everyone gets busy with their lives. You loose track of time, and before you know it years have past since the last time you talked. Oh you might exchange e-mail with them from them from time to time, or not.  You might find them again on Facebook, only neither of you really use Facebook all that much.  So there you have it, a missed friend.  Oh its not your fault, its not their's.  You just took separate paths on life's journey.  It happens.  I myself am missing my best friend.  I haven't seen her since my wedding.  And that was some time ago. We just lost track of time and each other.  Oh don't let me give you the impression I'm sitting here all depressed over it.  It just sometimes I'll be reminded of my old friends from a picture on the wall.  Or I'll hear a song on the radio, and I'll think, "Hey you know who would like this..

Its time again for one of the greatest seasons of them all.  No I'm not talking about autumn, I'm talking about Football Season.  Teams across our nation are taking to the field in the hopes to punch through to the end zone just to hear one of the greatest of words, "Touchdown".  This is the time of year when every Friday night is taken up with High School football, every Saturday is booked with College Football, and every Sunday is alive with the NFL.  This is the time of year that brings families together and neighbors apart. Its a time where everyone shows off their colors, whether it be red & white, orange & black, or yellow & green. It's also the time of the year where I get to say,  Go Big Elks!  Go Rangers!  Go Sooners! and Go Packers!In The News:Some of the latest headlines from the Oklahoma blog-o-sphere and (Bum Bum Buuuum) the main stream media.This week in Oklahoma History:On September 8, 1983, Tar Creek was added to the EPA's Superfund National Priority List.Life Tip: Quick shopping l

Here we sit in the midst of American history. At the time I record this we are between two major party political conventions. The Democratic Party has just finished theirs with a historic night of music and great speeches. Now we get to see what the Republican Party will bring. Unfortunately we are also in the midst of another gulf coast hurricane. Visions of Katrina are on the front of every ones mind at about three years to the day. The mistakes of the past haunt us. Oklahomans around the state are ready with a helping hand. Evacuation centers are being opened for anyone fleeing the coast. To everyone arriving I want you to know that Oklahoma is here for you in your time of need.
