This summer will be remembered as one of the worst heat waves in memory. It started out this year much sooner than normal. There is still no end in site. Of course, eventually, it will end. As far as I am concerned, the sooner, the better.
I am amazed at what can happen here in Tulsa OK, right under our nose. Planned Parenthood very much has an agenda. It is not for the good of humanity. Please watch this video:
I have been doing some research on the up coming election in Glenpool, Tuesday 4/4/11. For some reason, when there is disagreement, one group of elected officials calls the opposition, “Negative”. Do they not realize that when you can someone, “Negative” that makes you a negative person yourself?
Over the years, Glenpool has seen a lot of growth. This has led to much expansion in the schools. For some reason, the city council has taken it upon itself to build a new city hall and fire/police department building. This of course is paid with a city’s $28,000,000 of bond debt. The people did not get a chance to vote on this. I am amazed that something something so large can be passed by the council without a vote of the people. Look what happened last December! When there was a bond vote, it went down. I wonder why…
As a taxpayer, I am concerned about our massive national debt. We cannot spend our way out of a recession. The same is true with our state. Glenpool is a small city. Yet the current mayor is leaving his council position with the city millions in debt.
If Glenpool has an image problem, it is because it is not viewed as a destination city. It has had the image of a bedroom community. If anyone is interested in making Glenpool a real destination city, the need to solicit ODOT for some sign changes. That way when folks in Tulsa see a road sign for highway US 75 south, they will see the name Glenpool, not Okmulgee. That will have a branding effect on the minds of travelers on the road that Glenpool is a destination city.
In order to support this blog and myself, I run a small IT business here in Tulsa. It is listed on the links section of this blog. It is a computer repair service business. For the past 9 years since I’ve owned it, I have followed the, “Golden Rule”. This has helped many resolve customers (clients) problems with a definite answer. Nowadays, times have changed since I took it over in 2002. More corporate entities are in the field. Such as Telecoms (AT&T, Windstream, etc), Office Supply (Staples & Office Depot), and Foreign or out-of-state entities advertised online or in the phone book. They are extremely high priced and offer very impersonal service. What has happened to friendly professional certified service? It is still around. You may need to look around some. Please read my full article. Thanks for your support.
Alright, who said, “Let it snow!”? Today, we got a record 14 inches of snow. In fact, they said it was a blizzard! Too much for me. Our drive way is covered up to my garage door with at least a foot of snow. Then there is a drift under the overhang that makes it impossible to pull out of my garage.
I know it sounds crazy: which is worse? The mild drought we are in, or the road construction on I-44? From one point of view, the drought has helped avoid weather related delays on the construction going on around town. I can hardly wait until I get the Yale exit ramp back from eastbound traffic on I-44, and the westbound I-44 entrance ramp from Yale. However, I know how important it is that this drought ends soon. I know I can’t have it both ways. Just wish I could. 
2010 was quite a year! I will keep this blog going now in 2011. Check back for more info and comments.
Let us remember the “Christ” in Christmas this holiday season.
Congratulations Glenpool! Bloomberg-Businessweek rated Glenpool as the best place to raise your kids in Oklahoma for 2011!
Also noteworthy, all three bond issues were also voted down. Double congrats! 
I have looked at the post from another blog called Glenpool Facts. After careful consideration, I do agree that this new tax is too much considering that, 1. We already pay the highest sales tax in Tulsa County, 2. There is too much room for discretionary spending. Therefore I cannot endorse this bond. I will cast a “No” vote on December 14th.
