Why people talk **** about Oklahoma...
No, not some funny email. Just my random thoughts.
People get this image of Oklahoma because we are prone to tornado's. So are about 15 other states. Thing is, we have had a few bad ones...and one damn movie, so people stick us with that. For some reason, they put the most redneck ass people on the news when this happens. I can understand why people get certain idea's about us "Okies". However...I love this state. A week ago, I froze my ass off at work all night long. In and out of the vehicle. Dealing with stupid people, giving out parking violation stickers, etc. Cold, very cold. Colder that a well digger's ass. We had a tornado at the end of October. Definitely out of season. there is an old saying: If you don't like Oklahoma weather, wait a day. So it has been cold. No surprise huh, it is December? Yesterday and today I worked for my father on one of the oil wells. 2 minutes ago, I admired the sunburn on my neck, arms, and face. 72 degrees yesterday and damn close again today. I am in shorts, my kids are playing outside in shorts and shirt sleeves. The windows to the house are all open so that we can enjoy a nice Spring breeze. Spring breeze? In December? Yep, and I love it. I love my state. Don Manning |

Well it was about 10 degrees C here in Ontario today. Everyone here gets all excited " hey
it's going to be 10 degrees today!" they all exclaim. Problem is when it is that temperature here in Dec/Jan it is rainy damp and foggy as hell. Frankly, I'd rather have it cold and dry. I did an oil change on my little commuter Escort today and it was colder than a witches nipple with the dampness and the cold wet breeze plus all the wet crap on my garage floor made it rather fun! I hear Oklahoma has bad ice storms from time to time(?) I have a bud in Okla. City. StuK > wrote in message m... > Similar in Arkansas =) Like today's weather...

What part of the state do you live in? When I was a kid, Lawton (Fort Sill) was our "home" base. Lived there 3 times for a total of 9 years. Claud 2.3Sleeper wrote: > No, not some funny email.

Here in Kansas we are remembered for Dorothy and her little dog Toto from
"The Wizard Of Oz". I'd much rather be known for tornados. "2.3Sleeper" > wrote in message ... > No, not some funny email.

Could it possibly be the saying on the license plate? -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |

In article >, 2.3Sleeper
> wrote: > We had a tornado at the end of October. We just had one here in Long Beach, California. We had another one a couple years ago that attacked a grocery store a half mile from my house. They tend not to be the blockbusters they get in the midwest, though. Usually a few buildings get some roof damage or broken windows. They're little ones. The one they had downtown Miami a few years back made for some cool video. You don't usually see tornados and high rise buildings in the same frame. |
