OKC Weather

Coming here I knew that weather may be somewhat of an issue but so far I have lucked out and no tornadoes! No such luck with the hail and earthquakes. I'm convinced that people were never meant to live here. My only saving grace is that I live downtown and it was built where there is not a lot of tornado activity.

I do see a lot of cars with pretty extensive hail damage and the entire Oklahoma economy seems to be centered around fixing hail damage if you go by all of the car repair advertisements.

Some fucked up OKC cars:



















And shout out to the good weather people of OKC who help us navigate this horrible weather while not inspiring much confidence in their sequined tops!

Wild Wild West!

I have a sneaking suspicion that everyone around me is packing heat. The signs are all there...I mean literally...so many people carry guns around wherever they go that signs are needed outside bars to remind people not to bring them in.






Where I'm from not being able to bring guns in to bars is understood. Here you get a polite sign in case you aren't sure. And no wonder they need to remind people of proper gun edicate; just last week a security guard at the "fancy" mall opened fire in the parking lot on two female shop lifters.

Shoot outs in mall parking lots over a few pairs of jeans...totally normal in the wild wild west!
