As a doctor, I recommend it. I think that makes it legal for you here; in Oklahoma I think they give you the chair for a joint, in Texas they just shoot you where you stand if they catch you smoking that wacky tabacky.

Chuck Norris would just give you a hard look and your bones would just turn to water. He has a place out by Navasota, I think I may have seen one of his victims, puddle by the side of the road.

There's something else good about OK.... Chuck Norris! :cool:

I'm probably the only one here who has actually met Chuck Norris. He's a nice guy.

And here I was thinking that Sidney, James, and Denis were just joking with me as I was with them. Hmmm, guess I need to get my head checked.


Texans respect Mr. Norris. We just don't shake and shiver when he comes near! Never understood why he played a Texas Ranger not an Oklahoma Ranger. Oh yeah, sorry about that...


James,

Wife graduated from TAMU/College Station in '90, President's Scholarship. Masters and Doctorate and Diplomat elsewhere but she has ALWAYS called TAMU home! I'm a bit older than her and never had the pleasure to attend TAMU as I went into the Air Force instead.

Sis is graduating in December after three years at OSU. She starts her Masters immediately thereafter, if I have understood correctly.

And IF we could get her away from bf (how do you make these little characters) EVERYONE would be HAPPY.


Denis,

How is the 356 coming??? Curious out here in the sticks with the river rats and other rednecks.

Denis,

I have never met him but I understand from others that he is a stand-up guy who really likes his little ranch in Texas. But that was years ago, more than a decade. Doubt he has changed.

Mister Higgins: Just thought I'd help your day go smoothly tomorrow by reminding you now that shoes go on after pants, and you'll get a gold star if you use the potty and not the floor.

Sheesh.

He's a nice man. Not lacking in self-confidence and definitely a "male dog" but nice and friendly, etc. :cool:

It's always nice to be around people who have nothing to prove.

Going well, picking up engine bits from machine shop tomorrow if they're ready. (Fingers crossed). :cool:

We had an F-5 in Texas that I remember well. It was in Jarrell about 13 years ago. It was strong enough to pull the asphalt and dirt off the ground.

I posted a month or so ago that I drove my daughter out to college in AZ.

I had just read a book called, "Empire of the Summer Moon" and want to go see the Wachita Mountains in OK, and also many of the plains sites referenced in the book.

We stayed in Sawnee, OK for the night and then headed southwest, through Norman, Lawton and then over to the Wachitas. From there we headed west through Texas into NM and AZ, all off the interstate.

I have to saw that OK was beautiful, Norman a great college town. Really. My daughter told me she had no idea how nice this part of the country was.

The vistas driving to the Wachitas were great. Leaving Cache was a bit drab but soon changed: the country rolls, big sky and, to us, very scenic.

It is what is, but the power of that part of the plains, once ruled by the Comanches, is undeniable to me.

If she liked Norman, she would have really liked Stillwater. It's a nicer campus and much more Ag oriented.

Yep, them earthquakes can hit anytime anywhere cept I live 40 miles from the san andreas so I'm a little safer than others. Not much, but a little. Besides, my neighbors are all stocked up with supplies and I'm all stocked up with spoons and ammo, guess who's goin hungry?

Mudslides? Doan affect me at all, I don't live on a hill like them uppercrust folks. I doan ever hafta wurry bout no mudslides.
Same with them wildfires, them fancy-pants folks who hafta live in big ole houses on the edge of wherever in the hills and brush and open spaces are the ones thet get hit with them wildfires. I doan hafta wurry bout that neither. I'm down here in the flatlands with all sorts of other folks around me, no brush to speak of unless yer talking bout my neighbor's ficus that drops leaves in my pool when I ain't lookin.

BTW, them race riots? That only happens in LA and Long beach and such (where we keep most of them fruits and nuts), not around where I live.

Them folks know better then to try and get uppity in orange country, too many pissed off well armed white folk here who wouldn't take kindly to that sort of carryin on. Kinda like Texas-lite.

Southern California is a really, really big place with all kinds of people. Lots of em. more than you can count.

What folks in other parts of the country see on TV is only a really tiny part of this place.
They can be showing all sorts of really bad disasters and such and making it seem like it's the end of the world, but most of us would never even know about it iffn it weren't on the boob tube.

Prolly like when they show an entire town in tornader alley completely wiped out, double-wides and all.
But the next town over didn't even loose any aluminium siding.


BTW my mom was born in Norman and the rest of my family is from new Mexico or Texas.

I drove my 911 out to San Diego a few years back for PCA Porsche Parade. My wife flew out and we drove up to San Francisco. We came back south down H-1. It is purdy out there.

TV coverage of disasters of any sort are usually way over hyped.

FWIW you guys should try being from New Jersey. We get NO respect! But then again we don't need it:p

"Jersey girls ain't trash!"

"Trash gets picked up"

(Seen on a T-shirt once).

New Jersey? Never heard of it.

I think it's down the road from Old Jersey.

Stop making people make rights to go left.

Might help.
