Hello, TroutDude. I live in Oklahoma. We don't get as much snow as you folks.

I loved the stories of feeding the (feral?) cats.

Mightyqueen, I took some pics of an old abandoned gas station out here in the boonies. It burned down a few months after I took pics of it. I will see if I can scrounge around and find it. I love photography. But I have not been shooting much of anything lately.

I probably should get a new camera since I am recently retired.

Thanks for the kind words, Redbird. I've got an e-friend from OK. She lives in Enid.

Alt - very nifty photo. If not Photoshopped - it's stunning. If it was, it's still very impressive.

Jim, if that comment was aimed at my winter pic, you're absolutely correct. It is very beautiful here, in every season. I looked for two years before finding this place.

Too cool, reminds me of vacations in Colorado, those were the best days.

Life is good as I am approximately 24 days away from retirement. I did my time. Next job will be a job which I am passionate about without worry of how much I will get paid.

I would never move from this state as my tribe and about 40 other Native American tribes reside here. It is nice to be around other native Peoples.

We always have pets. Right now we have two morkies, one is 7 months old and weighs 4 1/4 lbs and the other is 11 years old. She is getting old and frail, but still has that heart of a lion terrier in her.

I also have two feral cats that we have raised since they were born in my man cave a year ago. One is pure white and she is my favorite. She is in the house tonight purring up a storm.
My mother's parents were full blooded Cherokee, and all my cousins have stayed in court trying to prove that they are Indian, they all want a number.

I would never even consider it though.

It would be so nice to live around Native people, but I can only assume it would be pure hell for a guy like me.

No number.

I never tried to get one, but there doesn't seem to be any acceptance unless you have one.

That's not been my experience. At all.

I would really hope so, maybe it's just my luck that I have run into the wrong kind of Indians{angry ones}, but it's probably the sheer volume of ridiculous people claiming to be Native.

I mean, that would be so irritating.

We used to go to Oklahoma for family reunions when I was a child, and it was so much fun, but I haven't done that for 30 years, can't even remember where it was.

To look at my family pictures is to be looking at Indians, nobody could make a mistake.

It is real. I got it from National Geographic.
