I did not think it would happen again. But it has. Gas prices are going up through the roof! And this is only March! I remember the summer of 2008 too well. I also remember when the prices came down too. I hope somebody does something to bring those prices down soon.

Here is a widget from Gas Buddy. It does a good job of showing you the gas prices. You can click on it for more info.

I Love It!!!

I know there are certain people like school children for example, who love to have “snow days”.  I however, love the fact that we are having great weather!

After what happened last year, this is great!  No snow to dig out of my driveway.  No slippery roads.  I could go on.

Hey kids!   Think of it this way,  you will get out of school earlier this year.

Emergency Foster-care Shelters

Posted by Eric on February 12, 2012

Recently, there was a newspaper article published about the emergency foster-care shelters here in Oklahoma being over used.  The whole entire nature of this article amazed me.  It did not put the real issue to any proper context.

The whole point of our foster-care system is to save the lives of neglected or abused children.  There are not enough foster parents available to receive these children in an emergency.  DHS has saved the lives of countless children.  Yet they are harshly criticized as being overused.

If anything, DHS should be applauded for helping so many children in need.  The courts have no choice sometimes but to send the kids to an emergency shelter.  This is what we have.  It does work.  I agree that we need more foster homes or family members to step up and receive these kids.

Like it or not.  Emergency foster-care is a much needed service.

This is it.  The last day of 2011.  This year really went by fast for me.  This was a year where so much happened in a short period of time.  So much to remember and write about.

So long 2011!  You will be remembered.  Look out 2012!

The Heat Wave is Back!

Oops!  I spoke too soon.  The awful heatwave is back!  Not as bad as when it was at it’s peak this summer.  But still, 106° is too much for me.  I was hoping it would be different this August.  That the weather pattern would reverse and it would cool off for the rest of the year.  So, much for that idea.

The Heat Wave of 2011

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:
