An anchorman's take on news, money, family, life and a lot more
You might be a redneck if … you live in Tulsa. “Whoa, hold on Bubba! Who you calling’ a redneck?” Not me. I ’bout swallowed my tobaccie when I heard that. I’m not calling Tulsans rednecks. A lighthearted study by a real estate blog is. Movoto.com is out with “The 10 Most Redneck Cities in […]
It’s been quite a week hasn’t it? Bombings, explosions, tornadoes. Death and destruction. Fear and frustration. The news certainly hasn’t been good. Even those of us who live and breathe news, need a break from its tight grip. We need a good weekend. My heart goes out to the victims and their families in the […]
That picture is my idea of retirement (minus my son’s skimboard and maybe fewer clouds). But you get the idea. My wife and I were sitting on the sand in Florida last week, gazing at the Gulf waves lapping ashore. Yeah, it doesn’t get much better than that. So I was a little surprised to […]
The wheels of justice have moved swiftly following the Good Friday killings in north Tulsa. Less than two days after the shooting spree left three dead and two injured, and a community in fear, police arrested two suspects, and both are reported to have confessed to the crimes. A job well done. It could have […]
We hit 71 today in Tulsa. 71! It’s been an unseasonably warm winter in Oklahoma. So far. I know winter isn’t over yet, but we made it through December AND January without a major snow or ice storm. And much of the rest of the country has too. So it’s hard to believe what we […]
Thanks to all who helped make the 28th annual “A Taste of Tulsa” a huge success. Saturday night’s fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Oklahoma was attended by nearly a thousand people at the downtown Convention Center. Kristin Dickerson and I emceed. My wife, Michelle, was once again auction co-chair. Even two of my […]
I think I’m changing my mind about the weather. We’ve been over 100 degrees all except a few days since June. July was the hottest month ever in Oklahoma! Today Tulsa hit 112. Tomorrow it could be 115! By the way, that’s the highest temp EVER in Tulsa. Day after day after day of this […]
Michelle and I love to ride our bikes. Our mountain bikes. Most of the time we don’t go on any mountains. Although a couple of summers ago we rode down from the top of Vail mountain in Colorado. That was fun. And challenging. And scary. We got caught in a hailstorm midway down. Here it […]
The snow totals are in. And they’re pretty impressive. While Tulsa officially got just over 5 and a half inches from this latest storm, other areas nearby got more. A lot more. Some places in NE Oklahoma are buried. One viewer called and said he got three feet of snow. A viewer in Salina sent […]
9 am update: Boy, did Tulsa dodge a snowflake. T-town has gotten a little less than half a foot of snow from this latest storm. (That’s a photo of one of our “live” locations in SW Tulsa.) But just to the north and east of town, it’s a lot more. Here are some of the […]
It’s midnight. Heading into Wednesday morning. And into the teeth of another storm. Many of us are spending another night at Hotel 8. My sleeping bag was up here a couple of nights last week, during the historic Blizzard of ’11. And it’s rolled out again tonight with the forecast calling for up to another […]
Four snow days last week. Still haven’t heard from the schools if there will be class Monday. My guess? No. The neighborhood streets are still really bad, and busses have to be able to pick up students. Who knows? With another big storm coming our way Tuesday/Wednesday, the kids could get quite a few more […]
