Winter has arrived. Little bit of ice followed by several inches of snow and throw some wind in to boot. This morning, the thermometer read 12. It’s the first of half of November. WTH? Lots of various people making statements that it is going to be a long winter. Make
Saturday was one windy, miserable son-of-a-gun outside. I needed a day to get stuff done, but not much happened. So, I watched the bedlam game. It should have been a blowout, but ou doesn’t have a defense and Okie State does have an offense. Which resulted in a close game.
I don’t spend as much time with goat peeps as I used to. And that is probably a good thing. But I dang sure enjoy it when I get to have a day with some great ones. Sure. We had school today but I didn’t. When I hired on to

I got home from one coast. She headed to the other coast. And…we get along? Yep. I’ve got a 17 year old son and an 11 year old dog to watch out for. The son, well, I’m pretty sure that he won’t crap on that carpet. I may be
I went, saw and am now back home. Cool deal. Glad I did it. I flew out of OKC on Saturday. Made it to the always popular Atlanta airport. Ate a common-as-hell french dip sandwich at the TGIF. Then, I caught a plane to Columbia, SC. Wasn’t the most comfortable
