If only there was a legislative supermajority in place for years that could help mitigate this damage. (this just in)

Good season start for Central Oklahoma softball going 7-1 with wins over 3 top 25 teams. Look for them to rise from their preseason poll 25th spot.

Great to photograph Univ of Central Oklahoma vs. MSU Denver. 1st photography for me since Oct’s shoulder surgery. Felt wonderful to be out. #sportsphotography #ucobaseball

Wow. Thinking of the States’ Medicaid policy staff. 25 of my 27 year DHS career was in Medicaid including developing policy to operate the program. Been out for 12 years but this grant situation can’t be good for clients. Tough enough to get health care providers to see XIX beneficiaries.

Montage of clips of Trump β€œguaranteeing” that he will end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office, that β€œit wouldn’t even be tough” for him to do, and that β€œeveryone will be happy” with the end result.

My wife and I did this after USC mangled OU in the Orange Bowl. Airport full of Trojans & came home to 2” of ice in OKC.
Zero stars.

If you haven't seen it, here's video of Sean Cummings giving State Senator Lisa Standridge – the author of the "What Would Jesus Not Do" Homeless Relocation Act – an award for being "The Worst Person in Oklahoma." Good stuff.

Edmond officially removes discriminatory language from plat documents Edmond is the first city in Oklahoma to remove discriminatory language from existing legal mapping documents under new state law.

Darrell Davis, the first Black mayor of Edmond, signed the removal of discriminatory language from a plat document.

The language precluded Black people from owning or operating on specific properties.

I think the best thing Bob Uecker did during his playing career is scheme with Bob Gibson to hold hands during the St.Louis Cardinals’ 1964 pre season team photo. They got fined.

Not a good look when your alma mater is among the teams labeled β€œworst loss”.

Was in the Walker Tower 11th floor TV lounge. Everyone there was shocked and had so many questions with no answers. Ancient pre-internet cable. MTV was about it. Shocked and sad is how I remember it.

Agreed. A great picker. The recordings with Byron Berline and John Hickman are great.

Central Oklahoma beats No. 2 St. Cloud State, at their place, to reach the NCAA D2 Elite 8. These photos are from earlier in the season. #volleyball

I harken back to the early 1970s, when Seven Continents, a Six Flags style park, was planned for Stroud. All of us Lincoln Co. youths were going to work there.

Good times.

β€œI’ll stop drinking if you let me run the Pentagon” is maybe the most alcoholic thing anyone has ever said

Health care, banking, employment opportunities in rural Oklahoma, especially Western Oklahoma are likely to become scarce in the next 10-15 years. I don’t see it changing.

Good luck to the MIAA Champs University of Central Oklahoma Bronchos (11-1) as they play at No. 1 Ferris State today in Round 2 of the NCAA D2 Football Championship. It’s on ESPN+
