SUNNY AND COLD IN THE NATIONS, WIND IS DOWN, THAT'S TWO GOOD OUT OF THREE. THE CHEROKEES THINK IT'S A GOOD START.

OMINOUS NUMBERS OF OUR FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES ARE HAVING AGE RELATED MENTAL PROBLEMS. SCARY; I'M FEELING LIKE A FUGITIVE FROM THE LAW OF AVERAGES.

THIS MORNING WE ARE GOING BACK TO THE DOC, NURSE PRACTITIONER ACTUALLY, TO GET READ OUT ON BLOOD WORK DONE LAST WEEK. IT'S ALSO AUTO ROTATION DAY, THE TOMATO WILL BE IN THE READY RACK. IT WOULD BE NICE IF IT GOT WARM ENOUGH TO PUT THE TOP DOWN :-)

I NEED TO FIRE UP THE GAS TRIMMER AND MANICURE THE BUSHES, BUT I KEEP PUTTING IT OFF 'CAUSE IT HURTS MY SHOULDERS. GUESS I COULD DO LIKE I USED TO DO MY OLD SETTER WITH THE BAD HIPS, TAKE ASPIRIN BEFORE AND AFTER.

GOOD MORNING GURUS---

STILL CLOUDY, STILL WINDY, STILL COLD. THE CHEROKEES THINK THIS HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH.

I SEE WHERE A NEW YORK DEFENDER OF ABNORMALITY HAS BURNED HIMSELF TO DEATH TO PROTEST GLOBAL WARMING. IS THIS A NEW SOURCE OF NON-FOSSIL FUEL?

THINGS SOUND PRETTY BAD UP THERE IN THE FROZEN NORTH. HOPE EVERYONE'S FURNACE IS WORKING AND YOU HAVE AN AMPLE SUPPLY OF COMFORT FOOD AND DRINK.

WE HAD SUPPER LAST NIGHT AT TAHLEQUAH, THEY WERE OUT OF PRIME RIB, THE GOTHS AND VANDALS ATE IT ALL FRIDAY, SO I HAD A NICE LITTLE RIB-EYE. THE WAITRESS WAS ON THE JOB FOR DAY TWO, STILL LEARNING BUT QUICK TO CORRECT HER MISTAKES. IT IS HARD TO EAT SOUP WITH A FORK THO---

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE, PAID YOUR FED TAX YET?

THE DAY IS GOING DOWN HILL FAST, SUN WENT AWAY, WIND PICKED UP. IT'S NOT ONLY DISMAL BUT MISERABLE, GRAY, COLD, AND WINDY. IT'S ANOTHER TWO NAP DAY; I'D BETTER GET STARTED :-|

SUNNY AND COLD IN THE NATIONS, BACK DOWN TO 40 THIS MORNING AFTER 82 YESTERDAY. FREEZE PREDICTED FOR TONIGHT. THE CHEROKEES THINK THE WARM WEATHER WAS GOOD WHILE IT LASTED.

I DID GET A COUPLE OF VEHICLES WASHED WHILE IT WAS WARM. HARVEY WAS A PAIN, LITERALLY, TOO MUCH BENDING OVER. GETTING OLD IS A PAIN :-(

I REMEMBER THE GOOD OLD DAYS:

SCARED ME TOO :-O

GOOD MORNING ALL, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL MORNING IN THE NATIONS, SUNNY AND COOL. PREDICTED HIGH OF 80 AND WESTERN OKLAHOMA CLASS WINDS TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

RAN THE TRUCK THRU THE CAR WASH YESTERDAY AND WHEN I GOT THE OIL CHANGED I NOTICED A NEW PARKING LOT DING ON THE RIGHT REAR FENDER. GOT IT AT THE GUNSHOW, I GUESS. THE TRUCK IS GETTING A LITTLE RAGGEDY BUT I'M NOT GOING TO SPRING FOR COSMETIC BODY WORK ON A TEN YEAR OLD TRUCK.

THERE IS A LONE CROW HANGING AROUND THE AREA, DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOT A NEST CLOSE BY OR IS JUST AN OUTCAST. I LOOKED UP IN THE WOODS BUT COULDN'T LOCATE A NEST FOR SURE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF POSSIBILITIES.

SUNNY AND COOL IN THE NATIONS, 76 THE PREDICTED HIGH. SO NICE TO SEE THE SUN IN THE MORNING.

NOTHING ON THE AGENDA TODAY, COULD WASH A CAR IF IT GETS AS WARM AS THEY SAY.

HERE'S MATT TAKING THE DOG TO THE VET:

GOOD MORNING TO YOU---

SUNNY AND NOT SO COLD IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING SUPPOSED TO GET UP TO 63 TODAY. THE CHEROKEES REJOICE IN THE SUNSHINE.

GOT AN OPEN AGENDA TODAY, OTHER THAN PICKING UP SOME PILLS AT THE PHARMACY.

IN THE NEWS: YOU CAN TELL WHO IS LOWERING THE LEVEL OF THE SWAMP BY WHO THE NATIONAL SOCIALIST MEDIA IS ATTACKING. OKIE SCOT PRUITT HAS GOT THEIR PANTIES IN A WAD :-)

HERE'S A GOOD EDITORIAL, VINTAGE PRUDEN:

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2 ... loathing-and-john-bolton/

STILL NO HEAT IN THE U-HOUSE? THAT'S A BUMMER FO' SHO'. GOT A FIREPLACE I HOPE---

SUNNY AND COLD IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING, 62 THE PREDICTED HIGH. THE CHEROKEES THINK THAT'S AN IMPROVEMENT.

IN THE NEWS: THE MOSLEM RULER OF THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF LONDONSTAN HAS INSTITUTED KNIFE CONTROL. NO ONE HAS A REASON TO CARRY A KNIFE, SAYS HE. POLICE WILL STOP AND FRISK PEOPLE FOR KNIVES. THIS MAY CATCH ON IN CALIFORNIA ;-)

Yesterday, I wore my Vietnam Veteran cap to WalMart. There was nothing in particular that I needed at the world's largest retailer; but, since I retired, trips to "Wally World" to look at the Walmartians is always good for some comic relief.

Besides, I always feel pretty normal after seeing some of the people that frequent the establishment. But, I digress, enough of my psychological fixations.

While standing in line to check out, the guy in front of me, probably in his early thirties, asked,"Are you a Viet Nam Vet?"
"No," I replied.
"Then why are you wearing that cap?"
"Because I couldn't find the one from the War of 1812 . . ."

I thought it was a snappy retort.

"The War of 1812, huh?" the Walmartian queried, "When was that?"
God forgive me, but I couldn't pass up such an opportunity. "1946," I answered as straight-faced as possible.
He pondered my response for a moment and responded, "Why do they call it the War of 1812 if it was in 1946?"
"It was a Black Op. No one is supposed to know about it." This was beginning to be way fun!
"Dude! Really?" He exclaimed. "How did you get to do something that COOOOL?"
I glanced furtively around me for effect, leaned toward the guy and in a low voice said, "I'm not sure. I was the only Caucasian on the mission."
"Dude," he was really getting excited about what he was hearing, "that is seriously awesome! But, didn't you kind of stand out?"
"Not really. The other guys were wearing white camouflage."
The moron nodded knowingly.
"Listen man," I said in a very serious tone, "You can't tell anyone about this. It's still 'top secret' and I shouldn't have said anything."
"Oh yeah?" he gave me the 'don't threaten me look.' "Like, what's gonna happen if I do?"
With a really hard look I said, "You have a family don't you? We wouldn't want anything to happen to them, would we?"
The guy gulped, left his basket where it was and fled through the door.

The lady behind me started laughing so hard I thought she was about to have a heart attack. I just grinned at her.

After checking out and going to the parking lot, I saw dimwit leaning in a car window talking to a young woman.
Upon catching sight of me he started pointing excitedly in my direction.
Giving him another 'deadly' serious look, I made the 'I see you' gesture. He turned kind of pale, jumped in the car and sped out of the parking lot.

And these people VOTE!

What a great time! Tomorrow I'm going back wearing my Homeland Security cap.
Then the next day I will go to the driver's license bureau wearing my Border Patrol hat, and see how long it takes to empty the place.

Whoever said retirement is boring? You just need to wear the right kind of cap!
See you guys at Walmart!!

MATT, WILL THAT DOG POINT A BIRD?

WAS A GOOD SHOW SAM SOLD BOTH HIS SLOT MACHINES AND FOUR SWORDS, MARK SOLD SEVERAL PISTOLS AND A JAP CARBINE, I SOLD TWO BOWS. THE WALTER PPQ THAT I THOUGHT WOULD GO FIRST THING WAS ALMOST TOTALLY IGNORED. GO FIGURE---

ONE OF THE LITTLE KNOWN BENEFITS OF GUNSHOWS IS THAT YOU GET TO SEE ALL THE NEWEST T-SHIRTS. BEST OF SHOW WAS:

MY LAST WORDS WILL PROBABLY BE;
WELL HELL, THAT DIDN'T WORK.

Quote:

DON'T I WISH :-)

OFF TO TULSA AGAIN BUT NO SNOW THIS TIME JUST COLD---

GOOD FIRST DAY AT THE SHOW. SAM SOLD SOME SWORDS AND A SLOT MACHINE, MARK SOLD SOME GUNS AND A FREEZER FULL OF HIS HOME-MADE LONGHORN BEEF STICKS. THEY WERE GREAT AS WAS THE ELK SUMMER SAUSAGE ONE OF THE OTHER REGULARS BROUGHT. I WON'T MENTION THE IRISH COFFEE AND THE BOTTLE OF WINE---
I SOLD A RECURVE BOW I'D HAD FOR YEARS. A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL :-)

THE TRIP TO TULSA WAS NOT SO GREAT, SNOWED ON ME MOST OF THE WAY AND WAS 24 WHEN I GOT TO TULSA. HIGHWAY WAS JUST WET BUT THE CITY STREETS WERE GETTING SLICK. SLICK STREETS AND TULSA DRIVERS ARE A BAD MIX. NUMA TEN, GI---

CLOUDY AND COLD IN THE NATIONS, 32 DEGREES ON THE FRONT PORCH ANS THERE IS TALK OF SNOW.

I'M OFF TO TULSA FOR THE BIG SHOW. OUR FAVORITE PECAN PEOPLE MADE THE ROUNDS YESTERDAY, SO WE WON'T STARVE :-)

SOMEONE REMEMBERS THE 60'S---
COOL AND OVERCAST IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING, IT'S RAINING ON THE CHOCTAWS BUT HASN'T GOT TO US YET.

THE SETUP ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN SCRAMBLED BY THE NEW MANAGEMENT AT THE WANENMACHER SHOW SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO BE THERE AS EARLY AS I EXPECTED. NO FLIES ON THAT, BUT I HOPE THEY DON'T MESS AROUND AND SCREW UP A GOOD THING, AS NEW REGIMES TEND TO DO.

TODAY, TOMORROW, AND SUNDAY I'LL BE WANDERING AROUND 11 ACRES OF GUNS :-)

OVERCAST AND COOL IN THE NATIONS, THE SUNSHINE WAS REALLY NICE WHILE IT LASTED.

DARLING WIFE DUE BACK FROM DALLAS TODAY. I'LL JUST GAS UP THE TRUCK AND LOAD MY GUNSHOW STUFF FOR SET UP TOMORROW. NOTHING ELSE ON THE AGENDA.

IT'LL BE THE BOOMERANG FOR BREAKFAST TODAY.

ALWAYS FORWARD, GURUS---

NO SUN THIS MORNING---

I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT #1 GRANDSON, THE "BEER SNOB", BROUGHT A FEW BOTTLES OF HIS HOMEBREWED ALE TO THE EASTER GET TOGETHER. I WAS SURPRISED AT HOW GOOD IT WAS. HE HAD IT ALL BOTTLED UP AND LABELED AS PEACEPIPE ALE.

HANDY TO HAVE A BREWER IN THE FAMILY ;-)

THE SUN IS SHINING ON THE NATIONS THIS MORNING, THE HARD FREEZE THAT WAS PREDICTED GAVE GRISHEIM A MISS, WAS ABOUT 35 THIS MORNING. THEY ARE SAYING IT MAY SNOW OR SLEET FRIDAY NIGHT---THAT DOESEN'T SOUND AS BAD AS LETTY'S BOMBARDMENT.

GOT MOVING EARLY THIS MORNING, HAIRCUT AND BREAKFAST AT THE WHEELHOUSE. TIME TO START GETTING STUFF TOGETHER FOR THE WANENMACHER SHOW, THINK I'LL PULL THE INTERNAL LASER OUT OF MY SIG AND SELL IT. IT'S NOT RELIABLE AND THE BATTERIES RUN DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. THE GUN HAS NIGHT SIGHTS, THOSE DON'T RUN DOWN :-)

Quote:

THAT'S UTTERLY DISGUSTING.

STILL DRIPPY IN THE NATIONS, ANOTHER INCH IN THE RAIN GAUGE, BUT NOT COLD, 65 WHEN I GOT UP, BUT THEN THEY PREDICT A HARD FREEZE TONIGHT. WTF, OVER?

BIG CHANGE OF PLANS, DARLING WIFE GOING TO DALLAS BY HER SELF, WILL SPEND ALL DAY WEDNESDAY WITH THE BIRTHDAY SISTER AND COME BACK THURSDAY. I'LL STAY HERE AND DEAL WITH THE SHEETROCK REPAIR THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN YESTERDAY.

SUITS ME JUST FINE :-)

SAME MISERABLE WEATHER AS YESTERDAY, EXCEPT NO WIND. AND THEY ARE PREDICTING A FREEZE TOMORROW NIGHT. IN OKLAHOMA YOU'RE NEVER SAFE UNTIL AFTER TAX DAY.

LOOKS LIKE WE WILL GO TO TEXAS TOMORROW, I HATE THAT DRIVE DOWN 75/69 FROM MCALESTER TO RED RIVER THROUGH ALL THE SPEED TRAP VILLAGES. THINGS GET MUCH BETTER SOUTH OF THE RIO.

AND THEN THE BIG TULSA GUNSHOW IS THIS WEEKEND.

Quote:

WRONG, IT'S CAUSED BY GLOBAL WARMING. SUNSHINE ON EASTER WILL ONLY RETURN IF YOU GIVE ALL YOUR MONEY TO ALGORE.

GREAT EASTER AT #1 DAUGHTERS, I FEEL LIKE A GATOR THAT SWALLOWED A PIG, COULD GO WITHOUT EATING FOR DAYS. OK, MAYBE HOURS :-) TOTALLY DISMAL DAY, MISTING RAIN, WIND BLOWING, COLD, THE EASTER EGG HUNT WAS MOVED INSIDE WHEN THE ADULTS GOT TOO COLD; DON'T THINK THE KIDS EVEN NOTICED IT.

GRANDDAUGHTER-IN-LAW-TO-BE MADE HER SIGNATURE BUTTERMILK PIE. YUM! THEY ARE GETTING MARRIED IN OCTOBER. GRANDPA APPROVES.

CLOUDY AND COOL THIS MORNING, SUPPOSED TO RAIN AND GET COLD. THE CHEROKEES THINK THIS MOST UNSATISFACTORY.

WE'RE OFF TO OKMULGEE FOR A VERY CROWDED EASTER DAY WITH BOTH DAUGHTERS, ALL THEIR KIDS, AND SOME RANDOM CHINESE #3 GRANDSON IS BRINGING OVER FROM OSU.

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!

CHRIST IS RISEN---

SEMI-SUNNY, COOL, AND BREEZY IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING, "THEY" SAY IT MAY RAIN THIS AFTERNOON.

ALREADY MADE A RUN TO WALLY-WORLD AND HAD AN INSANE OMELET AT THE WHEELHOUSE. TOMATOES, PEPPERS, ONIONS, MUSHROOMS, WILD ONIONS, AND HAM. OH YEAH, AND EGGS :-) THIS GOOD LOOKING WOMAN KEPT ASKING ME IF I WANTED STUFF ON THE OMELET AND I CAN NEVER SAY NO TO A GOOD LOOKING WOMAN---

MAY MAKE A PASS THROUGH THE FLEA MARKET WHILE THE WEATHER IS NICE.

THE SUN DID COME OUT AND IT TURNED INTO A REALLY NICE DAY. WE HAD SUPPER AT THE PEPPERJACK GRILL, PRIME RIB, MEDIUM RARE, YUM YUM.

THE BARN PHOEBE IS SITTING HER NEST, ALL IS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD :-)

Been working on the church's "self-inspection" for our insurance provider. I want to to check it off and send it in, but if I do, it will probably look like I did just that, so I found a few things that need 'attention'.

LOL---BRINGS BACK MEMORIES, THAT'S HOW MY DAD USED TO SELL FINISHED ROAD JOBS TO THE STATE: LEAVE A FEW OBVIOUS, EASILY CORRECTED THINGS FOR THE INSPECTORS TO FIND. WORKED FOR ME IN THE ARMY ALSO :-)

They have included, this year a bunch of 'guidelines' in case of active shooter in the church.....yea, most are impossible to try and implement and the one that makes most sense (allowing concealed carry for some members) they won't allow. They want us to hire 'professional' security people, who are 'trained' in use of firearms....BS!

BUREAUCRATS ALWAYS FEAR ARMED PEASANTS.

OVERCAST AND COLD IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING, THE PROMISED SUNSHINE IS YET TO BE SEEN. THE CHEROKEES ARE GETTING PISSED.

AT LEAST IT'S NOT RAINING. EVERYTHING IS SO SATURATED THE GROUND GOES "SQUISH" WHEN YOU WALK. I KEEP REMINDING MYSELF IT WAS REALLY NEEDED---

SEEMS WE WILL BE GOING TO OKMULGEE FOR EASTER, ALL THE OKIE KIDS AND GRANDKIDS WILL BE THERE. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.

NOTHING ON TODAY'S AGENDA BUT A FEW ERRANDS TO GET ME OUT OF THE HOUSE.

HAD SUPPER LAST NIGHT WITH SOME FRIENDS; THEY ARE IN THEIR 80'S AND SHE IS SLIPPING INTO ALZHEIMER'S. SO SAD TO SEE A VIVACIOUS, PERSONABLE WOMAN FADING AWAY. HER HUSBAND IS SHOWING THE STRAIN OF CARING FOR HER. IN A WAY, IT'S WORSE FOR HIM THAN HER.
LIFE CAN BE HARSH.

STILL DRIPPING IN THE NATIONS, THE TOTAL IS UP TO FOUR AND A HALF INCHES. SUNSHINE TOMORROW, THEY SAY. PROMISES, PROMISES---

THE ONLY THING I'VE KNOWN TO GROW LIKE THAT SNAKE IS A FISH THAT GOT AWAY :-)

I was eating breakfast with my teenaged Granddaughter and I asked her,
What special day is it tomorrow?"
Without skipping a beat she said, "It's U.S. Congressman's Day!"
She's smart, so I asked her "What does that mean?" .
I was not ready for what she was about to say.

She replied, " U.S. Congressman's Day is when they step out of the Capital Building and see their shadow, we have 4 more years of Bull Shit."

You know, it hurts when hot coffee spurts out your nose.

IN THE NEWS:

http://www.foxnews.com/great-outdoors ... ack-20-minutes-later.html

FOOTNOTE: OKLAHOMA NEWS REPORTED THE SNAKE AT 48 INCHES. IT GREW TWO FOOT ON NATIONAL NEWS :-)

IT'S A FOGGY MORNING IN THE NATIONS, COOL AND CALM. WE GOT THREE AND A HALF INCHES OF SLOW RAIN IN THIS GO-ROUND AND THE GROUND IS PRETTY WELL SATURATED. THE CHEROKEES THINK THIS IS ALL TO THE GOOD.

NOTHING ON THE AGENDA, ANOTHER DISMAL, GRAY, TWO NAP DAY LIES AHEAD.

IT'S RAINING ON THE NATIONS THIS MORNING, THE OFT PREDICTED RAIN HAS FINALLY HAPPENED. TWO AND A HALF INCHES IN THE RAIN GAUGE, THE CHEROKEES THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME.

Quote:

THINGS LIKE THAT ARE REALLY EERIE JOHN---
ONE AFTERNOON AT WORK I GOT A SUDDEN URGE TO GO SEE MY MOTHER IN THE NURSING HOME. I WENT BY ON MY WAY HOME; SHE SEEMED OK, MORE "AT HERSELF" THAN USUAL, AND KNEW WHO I WAS. THAN NIGHT AT SUPPER THEY CALLED AND SAID SHE WAS DEAD.
SURE AM GLAD I WENT.

SOUNDS LIKE IOWA IS A GREAT PLACE TO BR HOSPITALIZED :-)

HI Y'ALL---

CLOUDY,BREEZY, AND DRIPPY THIS MORNING, THEY KEEP PROMISING REAL RAIN BUT IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET.

LOOKS LIKE A TWO NAP DAY FO' SHO', MAYBE THREE COUNTING THE MOVIE ;-)

MUST GET STARTED RIGHT AWAY---

IT'S CLOUDY, COOL, AND BREEZY IN THE NATIONS; THE CHEROKEES ARE WAITING FOR THE RAIN.

THE NATIONAL SOCIALIST MEDIA HAS CERTAINLY PULLED OUT ALL THE STOPS TO PROMOTE THE CHILDREN'S CRUSADE TO DISARM THE DEPLORABLES. DC, LONDON, PARIS, I WONDER WHO ORGANIZED THESE "SPONTANEOUS DEMONSTRATIONS"? THE LOGISTICS MUST HAVE BEEN QUITE CHALLENGING. AND ALL DONE BY SCHOOL KIDS DOWN TO KINDERGARTEN LEVEL, OF COURSE. AND WHO PAID FOR ALL THIS, TRAVEL, LODGING, FOOD? A DEMONSTRATION MARCHES ON ITS STOMACH, YOU KNOW.
AND IT MAY EVEN BE WELL TO REMEMBER THE FATE OF THE ORIGINAL CHILDREN'S CRUSADE: MOST WERE SOLD AS SLAVES TO THE MOSLEMS.

AS TO THE ANNIVERSARY, I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THE ADVISE OF THE WIFE OF BATH AND LET HER DECIDE. SO FAR THE AGENDA INCLUDES BREAKFAST AT THE WHEELHOUSE, SUPPER AT A NEW ITALIAN PLACE, AND A MOVIE SHE IS EAGER TO SEE (AND I WILL PROBABLY SLEEP THROUGH IF THE SEATING IS COMFORTABLE ENOUGH)
AND FLOWERS, OF COURSE :-)

G'MORNING ALL---

ALREADY FLOATED THAT BALLOON; IT GOT SHOT DOWN.
"I LIKE MY OLD WATCH" :-0

CLOUDY AND MILD IN THE NATIONS, HIGH OF 77 AND BREEZY THEY SAY. RAIN PREDICTED FOR SEVERAL DAYS STARTING TOMORROW, THUNDER STORMS, HAIL, HEAVY RAIN, SO THEY SAY. WE CAN USE THE RAIN.

IT’S BUSINESS AS USUAL IN DC AS THE PERMANENT POLITICAL CLASS STRIKES BACK WITH THE SPENDING BILL AND TRUMP BLINKS. GEORGE WALLACE IS ONCE AGAIN PROVEN CORRECT, THERE’S NOT A NICKEL’S WORTH OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO PARTIES.

COUNT DOWN TO ANNIVERSARY CONTINUES AND I'M ALL OUT OF IDEAS.

GOOD MORNING GURUS---

CLOUDY, WINDY, AND MILD IN THE NATIONS TODAY, THE CHEROKEES MISS THE SUNSHINE.

DARLING WIFE IS HOME AND THINGS ARE RETURNING TO NORMAL. NOTHING ON THE AGENDA, I CAN'T GET VERY MOTIVATED TO DO ANYTHING UNDER THE OVERCAST.

DW'S SISTER IS TURNING 80 AND THERE ARE RUMBLINGS OF A TRIP TO TEXAS. CAN'T SAY THE PROSPECT FILLS ME WITH JOY; I'D JUST AS SOON STAY AWAY FROM DALLAS.

ANOTHER SPINGISH DAY IN THE NATIONS, PARTLY CLOUDY, COOL, AND WINDY AGAIN. THE CHEROKEES DO NOT APPROVE OF ALL THIS WESTERN OKLAHOMA STYLE WIND.

GOT A NEW PLACE TO TRY OUT FOR BREAKFAST, A REOPENED CAFE AT "MIDWAY" BETWEEN FT GIBSON AND TAHLEQUAH. IT WAS A FAVORITE OF MINE BEFORE IT CLOSED; HOPE IT WILL BE OK.

DARLING WIFE DUE HOME THIS AFTERNOON. MAYBE I SHOULD STRAIGHTEN THE KITCHEN UP SOME---
IT'S A FINE LINE, DON'T WANT THINGS SO MESSY SHE GETS MAD, BUT IF IT LOOKS TO GOOD SHE GETS HER FEELINGS HURT, THINKS I CAN LIVE WITHOUT HER :-)
