Awesome storm pics

These aren't mine, but rather a set of photos posted up by Greg Webster. I have no idea who this is, I just figured I better give credit where it's due. These are some of the best storm cloud shots I've seen. If you're a fan of weather, like I am, you NEED to see these.

Update: I just found these pics that are just as incredible. These are of a relatively rare cloud formation called mammatus. Gee, wonder where the got the name? Very cool.

Joshua's 4th Birthday!



Yesterday, we got up early and drove to Stillwater for cousin Joshua's birthday party. They held it at a really nice kid's gym. Everyone had a great time. No one got hurt, and Griffin ran so much that he passed out 2 hours later on the way back to Tulsa. It was great to see my folks, who I see way too infrequently for someone living in the same town. I also got to visit a bit with my sister Tina, who I rarely get to see since they moved to Stillwater. Thanks Kirk, Tina and Joshua for a fantastic Saturday morning!

Happy Birthday, Joshua! I can't believe that you're already 4 years old!

Lost Tulsa



Since I can't even keep up this blog, today I did the most sensible thing I could think of...I started up a new blog, Lost Tulsa.

This is basically an amateur photography site focusing on the dying, dead and otherwise interesting (at least to me) sites in the Tulsa, OK area. This may seem like it's coming from out in left field, but it's actually been in planning for a long time. I started taking photos for the project a few years back. I believe that I have enough content gathered up now to keep this thing going for quite a while.

Drop by sometime if you're bored.

Griffin says "Hi!"



GT's been enjoying the Summer. He misses school, but he's been playing with one of his classmates about once a week. Today, they are going to go swimming. Water is a parent's best friend. It's one of the few things that can actually wear a kid down. They say a tired cattle dog (blue heeler) is a good cattle dog...same goes for children.

Have a great week!

I see you.
