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.

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:  Planned Parenthood

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.
