The great flood

15 years ago today, Southeast Kansas was hit with a major flood. Hundreds of houses were destroyed by water. In Coffeyville, they were destroyed by oil because the refinery could not shut down in time. Due to the low cost of housing, most of these homes were never replaced. The refinery now owns most ofContinue reading “The great flood”

Cats to Third

Geelong has quietly won five in a row to move up to third on the ladder. With a percentage boosting game against wooden spooners North Melbourne, they should go to second by the end of the round. This would also eliminate the Kangaroos from the finals, not that they had a chance to begin with.

Still sick

I just can’t shake off this cold. Maybe I’ll feel better by the time I go to work tonight.

Beautiful Day…

…shame I slept through it.

Nokra

Those four lettered four legged locusts, aka deer, ate the okra again. They don’t touch anything else, just the okra.

Shaking off the rust.

For the first time in two weeks, I got on the bike. I took my monthly trip in town to pay bills and actually got to the bank right before they opened. After my doctor’s appointment, I got on the bike and struggled a bit getting back. Still I rode 20 miles and with anContinue reading “Shaking off the rust.”

Tulsa Tough after party

This was my sixth year driving the supply truck for the Fondo racers at Tulsa Tough. The week after there is a thank you party for all of the volunteers. Because I had to work, I never got to attend one before tonight. The burgers from McNellies were outstanding. I got to catch up withContinue reading “Tulsa Tough after party”
