August is a rough month in Oklahoma. What were you in town for? Where did you stay?

visit my old high school friend who moved to Tulsa. Stayed at his house 5 miles from downtown. Checked out downtown on my own during my spare time while he was at work. Hot and stuffy around 99 degrees with some puffy clouds and gentle southerly breeze.

Conservative here doesn't mean the pro-business and pro-growth strategies of many Texas cities and cities in the mountain west. It means you better follow my rigid, narrow interpretation of the King James Bible or else.

Tulsa has somewhat of a progressive vibe compared to the rest of the state but the place is too small and surrounded by suburbs that are too conservative for it to become an oasis. Plus, the city needs economic stimulation and neither Oklahoma city is getting much that isn't oil & gas related, which today has turned to bust.
Tulsa OK is small because the powers that be wants it
that way. If Tulsa wanted to be pro-growth like Texarr Cities
it would've dam the Arkansas River & pull in Locks & work-
ed on the river parks from Sand Springs to Bixby OK and
...this would've been done in the 1960's & 70-s...

Were you downtown during one of our many cattle drives? That's one of the reasons we can't have nice things here, well that and the dust storms.

Not to mention the free-range buffalo frequenting the parking lot at the BOK Center. Good thing those Cherokees are still good with a bow & arrow or they wouldn't have anything to take back to their teepees at night.

I was driving through Checotah a few weeks ago, and as I passed the Sonic there was three people on horseback ording food. I'm kicking myself for not going back and getting a picture, but I was late for an appointment in Tulsa.

It would have been funny to send into Sonic and put a caption on it that said "This is how we Sonic!"

People did that all the time when I lived in Southern Oklahoma.
