Meanwhile, prices cycled up to ~$2.60 just 15 miles north of that in Edmond yesterday. So crazy.

No, Defensive Walking Isn't The Solution For Road Deaths - Jalopnik It's victim-blaming, it's bull, and it's not the solution we need.

"The solution to pedestrian deaths isn't "defensive walking,"Β as NPR says, but investment in public transit. Don't give us advice on how best to play Frogger on roads full of texting drivers, give us buses that give those drivers a safer place to text."

I’m not here for #SpotLAX2025, but I do have a pretty good view from the Sky Club for a couple hours on this layover…

Augusta National ditches the masses in a quest for higher revenues Augusta's everyman appeal loses out in the quest for luxury, exclusivity and money.

Good look at profit-seeking vs. everyday fandom... "If you have an all-you-can-eat-and-drink spread waiting for you, there is no need to pop into the old bar or the family-owned pizza shop across from the stadium. It separates fans and cuts into the shared experience."

I love all these responses and statements. The sociology of people in regions vs made-up states (lines on a map) is fascinating. Other examples: Missouri with two big regions each split across an artificial border, Chicagoland essentially reaching across 4 states…

Yes. Worth watching.

TL;DR Sheriff's office sent out alerts *on Facebook* (for anyone online at 5:30am) but not to cell phones or other real-time alert systems.

Sheriff says he'll look into it.

3.74” of rainfall here at our home weather station. Started at 2:10 pm; it’s currently 4:04 pm. And it’s going to keep raining… #okwx

But I did get just get a phone alert about someone who shot one law officer a state away, and it even said there’s no credible threat the guy is in Oklahoma…

Pulled up to the youngest’s morning program to get him to a Dr appointment this afternoon and the office called to cancel and move to tomorrow. Took the middle to her annual this AM. Summer musical program for her all afternoon. So much logistics.

Side note - my lovely wife specified the blue upholstered bar chairs in this photo in 2009. Got yelled to directly by Clay Bennett who wanted to make sure they’d last. They certainly have. Also, she designed the Thunder locker room at that time… our little claim to helping this happen.

Saw increases of 44-45c in central Oklahoma yesterday... They've been cycling on Tuesdays lately but did it a day early this time around.
