another update

Howdy folks.
We are almost at the end of high school sports season down here. Spring time sports is the busiest time of the year, and spring time sports playoffs are just crazy. It is almost over, but that is why i have not been posting.
I am going to be doing some live blogging at sports events. State track meet this weekend.
I am getting immersed in high school sports here. Paying more attention to who is hitting home runs, and who is nearing10 seconds in the 100 meters, is actually more fun than paying attention to what politicians are saying.
At least in sports, there is a winner and someone who did not win. As opposed to politics, where no matter what happens, both sides claim a victory and spin it their way regardless.

There are some good athletes down here, so that makes it fun. They play at a high level in most sports. But once the high school season is over things should slow down a bit.

Tourism
There is a tour of train depots coming up. Sounds interesting and I just heard about it yesterday. But the tour ends with the Heartland Flyer at the Ardmore train station. The depot here is still active, and is one of the old ones that has been restored.
Several train depots have been restored here.
I know there is one rotting to death in Ark City and some group is allegedly trying to do something to save it.
Ive even heard that the Railroad company is willing to give it away.
Hope someone will take up that project in earnest.

Ok, dont know if that will get people going.
But ... just in case ... guns, abortion, taxes, obama, bush, lowes and mel kuhn. . oh, and dotty smith.

    Man, I hear you. I hate it when people have nothing redeeming to bring to the discussion except to try & tear something up that a willing person tried to build. Then give a goofy prophecy..."I knew this would happen..."
    jj, be thankful you're out of town. Seems like a lot of folk here just love to fuss. I mean you put up a topic of general interest and no one says a word. Claiming "blog died"... Wonder why?
