Oklahoma
Yep, there it is... a 5.1 quake. Whoo!
For the record... sitting here in my concrete house in the country in NE Okla, felt my chair wobble back & forth slightly as if the dog were leaning against my chair scratching himself...
Bruce w/aW: Gas in LA is still around 2.89999999/gal.
grammie winger: $1.24 here in SE Wisconsin.
Gas prices here in Oklahoma lowest in the nation, and continuing to drop.
Guess I'll buy one of those Land Yachts.
And one for the wife.
DC in River City: ...Except the whole seven million miles from the ocean thing, Tulsa could be paradise.
Feature, not bug.
ThePrimordialOrderedPair: ...Further, the most fortunate (richest and freest) blacks in the world are those whose ancestors were brought to America....
Morning, Glories!
I'm smiling and happy, as ordered.
A mild 45°F here in NE Okla, heading up to... um... 46 today. ?? Temperature just forgot to drop last night.
Read today Oklahoma has the lowest average gasoline price per gallon in the country.
High temperatures in the 40s & 50s this weekend, 60s next.
*waves to Sherry*
So, were you at the Mabee Center last night?
Thought about going to see Trump in Tulsa.
Got over it.
There were 5000 standing outside so I heard.
Madness.

Milady and I have always been exceptional, as opposed to being the rule, I mean.

My favorite bookstore is long gone, so, no vote: Lewis Meyer's on Peoria in Tulsa.
Last week, winds were out of the South and we had a day when the high temperature was 60.
Arson Wells: You must live in Texas
Even better, NE Oklahoma. Where we keep Texas around as a buffer to Mexico. Big, big buffer.

In before the art thread, or BenK, or Doom, or whatever comes next.
Which is really amazing and unexpected.
Home and scanned the comments a bit, but tired and ready to be through.
Captain Whitebread: It's a gorgeous day here -- sunny and already near 60. Not bad for Oklahoma in January.
fixerupper: I cross the line and buy my tickets in Kansas. Kansas is one of a handful of states that allow you to claim lottery winnings anonymously.
Fen, it might take too many words and too much time and energy to really engage with you here, especially on two fronts, but I'll make one try, and try to be concise. Which is dangerous.
FenSpok, You know I love you, right? So, not sure what to make of your "charitableness-shaming," and across several threads at that.
Morning, Glories.
RedMindBlueState: What are we drinking tonight?
Water.
Brandy's gone. Rum's gone. Wine's gone.
There's a liquor store right next door.
Headline from the Norman OK Transcript:
Record incarceration rate not producing safer Oklahoma
Anna Puma: Didn't Philly have some kind of black cult and well the whole building burned down around them?
Not just "building burned down," but bombed by (IIRC) helicopter.
Ah! Just started snowing here in NE OK. Big, fat flakes, too. Pretty. So far.
Supposed to get anywhere from a dusting to an inch. Which means, who knows.
Should've checked the headlines more carefully first. Didn't realize the Powerball answer was in there. Oh, well. There's this...
I'm pretty sure that's a picture of the tail-end of the Oklahoma Land Rush. The structure you see is a Sooner's sod home after a tornado.
Morning, Glories!
Vic: On this day in 1889 the first Oklahoma Land Rush opened two million acres of unused Oklahoma Territory to first serve first come settlers on April 22.
