Oklahoma
Oklahoma had more earthquakes last year than all the rest of the continental US combined.
And we're off to a good start in the new year.
Prediction and resolution:
Mindful Webworks turns twenty in March. I will spruce up the site and start adding more content.

Morning, Glories! Lots of rain, flood stage, here in NE OK. Could be worse. Coulda been snow. Coulda been naders. Coulda been Dallas, God bless 'em.
Downtown park has a "fantasyland of lights," really cute displays, with twinkle lights portraying various Christmasy things, some animated, like Santa stuck in a chimney, the 12 days, snowman melti
Well, it's now definitely half past too late to get down to Tulsa to see Cruz onstage with our congressman Bridenstine.
Dislike crowds anyway. Just thought it might be fun to be there.
A delightful 60° here in NE Oklahoma this morning. Yet, radio weather guys talk about heavy snow coming to the panhandle, on the far side of the state.
Howya doin' tonight, special snowflakes?
Cruz will be in Tulsa Wednesday morning "as part of what they're calling the 'Cruz Country Christmas Tour.'"
VIA: Paul Ryan seems to have pissed off a rather large number of people.
Not just Ryan.
Subjects: Oklahoma, Paul Ryan, US Congress, Jim Bridenstine
Morning, Glories! Thanks for starting us up, Krak. Thanks for the report, Vic.
FenelonSpoke, saw late that you had asked about my dad, who shares your bdy yesterday. I mentioned he would've been 98, but has been gone for 48 years.
Bitter Clinger: No, Donald?
* rechecks my own message *
Oh, yeah, he's in there, just lost in the crowd.

Greetings and saladcroutons, fellow targets of our tyrannical bureaucrazy!
Soona: Oklahoma. Born and raised here. Been living here most of my life.
Well, dehr, Soona. I meant SW part of the state!
Soona: We usually get tornados in the spring. Don't mistake "usually" with "always".
Soona: I'm not gloating. Mild temps in December usually means a fucked up January and February ......and a late spring.
Looking at that wintry landscape pic, I can't help but think...
Only up through ep2 of High Castle. I had heard the premise, as FRJ stated above. But, when I saw it, I had to object to that map. "Neutral zone" was, basically, east side of the Rockies.
Downtown park has a "Festival of Lights." Lots of displays, some animated, created entirely with twinkle lights.
Morning, Glories! Sunshine and warmth is the prediction for today. I'd say "unseasonable" warmth, but Oklahoma's season depends upon from which direction the wind is blowing.
Today's least competent criminal story.
Tulsa, about 3:30 am, Walgreens at 71st and Lewis.
FenelonSpoke: I guess that I can put Oklahoma Wesleyan on a list of possible schools to send my son to...
Heh, beat Aviator to it by one.
jow: Sidebar link to letter from Dr. Everett Piper, President, Oklahoma University...
"Greater Appalachia"?? Now, that's something I would not ever have thought to label most of OK & TX. Who comes up with this stuff. (Yes, I should read the article. I glanced at it.)
"...you're probably going to be happier and more secure in Oklahoma City than in San Jose."
For lots of reasons!
Sweet dreams, Hordesters!
There was a time when everybody in Oklahoma was an "immigrant." Here's some history of the amazing Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889:

Morning, Glories!
