Yes, folks, we have finally figured out what causes global warming. According to an article I found on Yahoo, it's due to...
Moose (mooses?) belching. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070822/sc_afp/sciencenorwayclimate
There, I said it. What will these freakin' liberals come up with next? So, let me get this straight, if we just get rid of Bullwinkle, the global warming problem will be solved. Who knew the solution would be that simple?

Raise your hands if you're going to the Tulsa State Fair this year...
Thank you, I thought as much. DH and I are not going and have told DSD that we're not, but that we might go to another fair. We're thinking about checking out if the Oklahoma State Fair in OKC has Murphy Brothers attached to it in any way. Hope you enjoy your new parking lot, Randi. As for asking to make Bell's business plan public, are they also going to view the Tulsa Drillers, Fair Meadows, Expo Square/QT Center plans public as well? Why is there such a vendetta against the Bells? Is this what happens when it seems you're trying to impede progress?
Just some random thoughts...

It's All in the Timing
I read over the weekend that some houses are getting ready to be moved from the I-44/Riverside area to Sand Springs, but that had to wait until the PGA Championship was over. Just exactly how long has the city known that the golf tournament was going to be here? How convenient that the red tape took up just enough time to tell the movers, "No, I'm sorry, you'll have to wait until Tiger, Phil, and the rest of the golfers leave before moving the houses."
I also saw where Tulsa was on a list of most adventurous cities; surely that's because of our splended roads and bridges that you have to play "Dodge the Pothole" on everywhere you go. It could also be from trying to avoid panhandlers and the homeless camped out in front of QT; just where were they hidden last week?
On a brighter note, I see that Tulsa Transit has come around and started up the bus route to Cherokee Industrial Park again...yippee!!! Now DH and I will have an alternate way to get to work.
My father's service was very nice and eye-opening (at least for some in the family). A singer sang "Amazing Grace" and "Just As I Am", and we played Josh Turner's "Long Black Train." I was able to hear a bit of my dad's testimony of how he came to Christ in the last few years of his life. The minister said that my father wanted to make sure of his decision, that he wanted to make sure it wasn't just with his head, but with his heart as well. On the way to the cemetary, my aunts and DH had a discussion about the "altar call". My aunts were not in agreement with
it, but DH told them that he was all for it. I believe his quote was "I want people to hear the gospel at my service, because that may be the only time they'll hear it. I want them to see Jesus in the music played and in the eulogy given." That's my hubby!

New Name for KT
It's taken me over a year, but I've finally come up with my nickname for Mayor KT - it's Mayor KIT. You've most certainly heard of KITT, the talking car, but I've chosen KIT for her. It stands for Kathy "Image" Taylor. She is more obsessed with image than most Hollywood stars, and that's saying a lot.
I have a feeling that our city will vote "yes" for the river tax. We have yet to see a tax we don't like. I admire Broken Arrow's mayor for taking a stand for his city, no matter how it affects his image. DH and I will, of course, proudly vote NO.
I saw in the Whirled that most of the city councilors are going to run again. I would, too, if I knew my job entailed agreeing to whatever my boss said and not questioning anything. Oh, how I miss the days of the "gang of five." Now all we seem to have are yes men (and woman). I hope that some people with principles run and that, if they win, they will stick to those principles.
I will be off line for a few days. My father passed away Friday evening, so DH and I have traveled down to southern Oklahoma for the funeral on Tuesday. He was 84 (would've been 85 next month); he had a stroke and went into a coma just before the fourth of July. His health had been declining since the first of the year so, although it wasn't necessarily a shock, it's still something you're not ready for. I do take some comfort in that he became a Christian a few years ago, so he is now in Heaven with his Heavenly Father.
