OT - NO POLITICS We’re on to April & May

Sulphur, OK basically doesn't exist as it once was....

Not true at all. The tornado hit the downtown area and did considerable damage but the town is still very much still there. Many of the neighborhoods are actually ok as are the businesses not on Main Street.

Actually do some research and don’t post misinformation

Yea and I live an hour from there and have been watching live coverage. Pictures are deceptive. Be better.

Preliminary survey damage in Sulphur and Marietta is an EF3 (136-165 mph winds). Still waiting on Ardmore, Holdenville and Norman to come in.

They had to close off these towns because people think it’s really cool to go gawk at tornado damage instead of helping people.

Like I said earlier, if you’re curious about the story, watch local coverage of storms and don’t just rely on static photos.

I saw an interesting method involving a hockey stick jammed into the frame behind the back seat. I’m sure she will be fine. Have her rip around without using the pedals at all, Fred Flinstone it for a while. Helps them get used to how the balance works. Once she’s comfortable with that, it’s easy to do the rest and she won’t even think about it. You guys got this!

That being said, i have an 11 year old that can’t ride a bike. She does have a physical disability so i haven’t really pushed it. Will probably be trying again this summer.

Just wanted to give a shout out for your excellent advice and to anyone who took even a second to think about my daughter. Today she is riding a bike. She was so happy, it was really perfect.

Hell yeah! That was super fast. Quick learner. Super happy to hear the great news. That caps off a heck of a weekend

Just came home and realized i left a gas burner on the stove running, medium/low heat. I made lunch for the kids at noon.

Did smell a little gas as I opened the door, and a little bit in the living room. Stove is off and windows are opened.

You got lucky my friend. Very lucky!

Flying home from Portugal today, great two weeks. Did not miss work at all. Great country to visit with low cost of restaurants and groceries. At and drank all the things and looks like I lost as few lbs. I don't think I ate anything out of a box for two weeks. Makes me re-think how we eat in the USA.

I hate gas.

When Mrs. 103 and I were looking for a house together, we wouldn’t even consider houses with gas. Oil heat may or may not be more expensive, but there are definitely far fewer explosions. An excavator up the street could accidentally hit the main line and trigger an explosion that blows up your house. No thanks.

All is well this morning. Tested the CO alarm and all was fine. Slept like an angel. An angel with a 3-1 series lead

This beautiful fox has been visiting our front porch for the last few days, visiting Charlie, my Bruins bear. I hope this is a good omen!

Now I'm gonna be nervous about my gas heat thanks Rob!

Well, apparently the cicadas are starting to appear in our area. I haven't seen any yet but people are posting pics in the local FB groups.

Uuggggggggghhhhhhhhhh go away bugs.

This was the gas station that was hit Saturday night. It is still open for business.

National Weather Service said it was an EF1 (85-90 mph wind) and it officially crossed the intersection less than 2 miles from us

I had such a productive day at work today that I'm seriously considering calling in dead tomorrow

My stepfather brought me a bunch of my mom's things, including the rest of our family's vinyl album collection. Fairly certain some of these belonged to my grandparents. Everything from Johnny Cash to Nat King Cole to Elvis and Tennessee Ernie Ford. Plus some soundtracks...Dr. Zhivago and the original Broadway cast of The Sound of Music, among others.

Then there's this one with old radio show recordings.

Awful situation yesterday in Charlotte. Condolences to the marshals and officers involved.
