The big city papers left town just over a year ago and I miss it, just not as much as I thought. I had to go to Bartlesville and while I was there I picked up a copy. The price had gone from two to three dollars. This wouldn’t have been so bad if theContinue reading “Inflation, newspaper edition”

Footy Festival
This weekend the AFL borrowed a page from rugby and decided to hold an entire round of games in one city. This year Adelaide got the honors. The Cats play West Coast early tomorrow morning.
More planting
In spite of the short weekend, I got some tomato seeds started and planted some rhubarb and gooseberry bushes I bought last week. Hope to get more done with the much later sunsets. By the way, the okra I started two weeks ago looks like it will be ready for transplant next week.
Weeding out the help, Part five.
Another stocker quit at Wally World the night before last. He just walked out at lunch time and never returned. He also never told anybody he was leaving. It’s not like he had another job lined up and with the economy about to take a serious dump, he may not get another. I noticed thatContinue reading “Weeding out the help, Part five.”
Cats win, hand spoon to Hawthorn
Geelong finally got into the win column with a 127-45 win over Hawthorn on Easter Monday.

Flyers start footy season
Most clubs are starting footy season this month and the former Tulsa Buffaloes are no exception. The Oklahoma Flyers are having their intrasquad scrimmage this Saturday. Can’t get there due to my schedule, but I will catch a game sometime this summer.
No rain in sight
There is a small chance of rain tonight, followed by a week of no chance of rain. Since we are still in extreme drought status, this is not looking good for the winter wheat crop that should be coming up any time now.
Bank of Americurr
I just got to sleep this morning when I heard a buzzing sound. After about 30 seconds, I realized it was my phone and I had never been called since I bought the phone around Christmas. After figuring out how to answer it, a “representative” from “Bank of Americurr’ called asking about some deposits. IContinue reading “Bank of Americurr”
Missing the point
In the 80s the then VFL decided to play their games over the whole weekend instead of playing all of the games on Saturday afternoon. Until the latest expansion to 18 teams they did not play any games on Good Friday but played their normal three games on Easter Sunday. Talk about missing the pointContinue reading “Missing the point”
Inventory
I had to work on my night off to prepare the shelves for the annual inventory. No matter what job you have, there will always be some tasks that are frustrating and irritating. Rounding up stray boxes of Jello and figuring out where they are supposed to go is high on that list. So isContinue reading “Inventory”
