Can you beleive the year is half over. Now we have the 4th of July and then the next you know it will be Christmas. Amazing how fast time flys by anymore. Even when you want time to slow down because you are on vacation or maybe involved in something that needs more time, you just can't slow things down. Time have become an Indy 500 speed race. I just can't seem to keep up. I always seem to be running behind, late, or just miss it all together.

How do we stop and smell the roses when they go by at the speed of light.

Why can't we slow down anymore. Life has gotten so fast anymore we don't even know what we are missing.

Tulsa's largest fireworks display will be at the River Parks near the 21st Street Bridge on Saturday, July 4th, and entertainment can be found at two locations on the east side of the river and one location on the west bank. Entertainment and street closings begin at 5:00 and the fireworks launch at 9:30. Crowds in excess of 80,000 are anticipated to attend and enjoy this Tulsa Community Celebration.

As you know, Demetrius and I have the closest residence to the 21st Street Bridge. Drop by for homemade ice cream, Greek chicken, American burgers and a beer. Bring lawn chairs and bug spray. The high for the day is expected to be 105, and chance of rain is only ten percent!

West bank: Kids can enjoy free inflatables, a rock climbing wall and other activities at the River West Festival Park. Vendors will offer food and beverages for sale. There will be live music from about 6 to 9 pm which will continue immediately after the fireworks display. Paid parking will be available for $5 per vehicle.

East Bank: Live music will begin around 6 pm on the east bank of the Arkansas at 1924 S. Riverside Drive, the former home of the River's Edge Bistro. Concessions will be available for purchase. Bring your own lawn chairs and blankets, as seating is not provided.

Veteran's Park: Tulsa Parks will host their annual American Salute, an old-fashioned family picnic and concert at Veteran's Park, 1875 S Boulder Avenue. Live entertainment will begin around 6 pm with performances by Cindy Cain and Jennifer & Pete Marriott. Vendors will offer food and beverages for sale.

Street closings: The entire 21st Street Bridge will be TOTALLY CLOSED from 11 am to midnight to prepare for the fireworks. Other streets closing from 5 pm to 10:30 pm are:
Residential streets from Jackson to Southwest Blvd. between 17th and 23rd Streets. (Jackson Avenue will remain open.)
Riverside Drive, from Southwest Boulevard to 31st Streets.

No parking permits are issued to residents this year. Residents are told that we (and our guests) will be able to access our residences by approaching from the east. Please provide the guards at the barricades your address and they will let you through.

Just a few interesting reminders about the totally absurd and fabricated global warming. It needs to be stated that people who oppose this hoax are not against protecting an environment - like having clean water, using less fertilizers and pollutants directly dumped into our river streams, etc, etc...

In 1998, with Bill Clinton in the White House, Sen. Larry Craig said, "As more and more American scientists review the available data on global warming, it is becoming increasingly clear that the vast majority believe the commitments for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions made by the administration in the Kyoto Protocol are an unnecessary response to an exaggerated threat the vice president himself [i.e., Al Gore] is caught up in making."

In 2005 US Sen Inhofe's (R-OK) speach about global warming where he said that the "greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people"

In 2008 Does anyone remember the recent rebuke of Lord Mongton, a well known and respected scientist on the subject of Global Warming, who had flown here from England recently to go before Congress at the request of the Republicans to give the opposing argument against Al Gore when before the Waxman committee?

They actually denied him the opportunity and told him that it would embarrass Gore.

Mongton was going to explain to the committee that before the industrial revolution 1700-1735 temperatures rose 4 degrees in 35 years. Temperatures rose 1.3 degrees in the whole 20th century and actually the evidence is that there is global cooling! Sea levels he said, have risen 8 inches over 100 years. The last 3 years sea levels have not risen AT ALL!

This climate agenda is nothing more the a new world order for control of peoples lives and a way for elites to profit at the expense of the tax payers.

Keep the earth clean. We are all for that but don't fall for the biggest hoax ever perpetrated in our schools, on our kids and on the people at large!!

Good for Inhofe! He always seems to be the only one that seems to cry out for justice time after time. I really like this man.

Republicans are raising questions about why the EPA apparently dismissed an analyst's report questioning the science behind global warming.

By Judson Berger, FOXNews.com

A top Republican senator has ordered an investigation into the Environmental Protection Agency's alleged suppression of a report that questioned the science behind global warming.

The 98-page report, co-authored by EPA analyst Alan Carlin, pushed back on the prospect of regulating gases like carbon dioxide as a way to reduce global warming. Carlin's report argued that the information the EPA was using was out of date, and that even as atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have increased, global temperatures have declined.

"He came out with the truth. They don't want the truth at the EPA," Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla, a global warming skeptic, told FOX News, saying he's ordered an investigation. "We're going to expose it."

All about power, special interests, money and most of all - CONTROL!

All of us need to vote and then vote in 2010 and 2012!!!

POWER TO THE PEOPLE! WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK!

At Tuesday night's public meeting, city officials unveiled their new ideas of a master plan for the City of Tulsa. The new plan will include many exciting proposals along with urban housing of many kinds and a train that will travel through downtown Tulsa and connect to all nearby suburbs.

Everyone in Tulsa knows that from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., downtown Tulsa is the place to be. However, after 5 p.m., it's a virtual ghost town. Therefore, there is a need for change in the city and the new master plan will be a huge help with that.

In the downtown Tulsa area, there are currently around 300 residential units that are ready to be built with hundreds more on the way. This will allow for thousands of Tulsa residents to work and live in the downtown area.

Downtown Tulsa will soon be transformed, making it easier for the next generation to come in and do their own thing in Tulsa.

More of the master plan includes changes to the East Village. It will soon include an art museum, an outdoor amphitheater, green buildings and tons of green space. Everyone has been talking "green", and the City of Tulsa is going all out.

The city now has a wonderful plan ahead of it and what could be a great future for many years to come. We can't wait to see some of these great changes start to take place.

No this is not the for people, this is for the state legislature. I love California, and I have two trips planned to SF in August(Inman news), and September. I helped your economy twice already this year by coming to the state. Now you are mired in a budget crisis, and this 2/3 majority rule, and the insane party politics garbage is threatening Oklahoma. Why? Because your bigger than most countries with your budget! You aren't the only ones facing huge shortfalls at the end of the fiscal year. Arizona, Indiana, Ohio, Connecticut, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Mississippi are facing similar shut downs of essential services. Folks the money is not there and you either have to shut down government or raise taxes so what will it be? The anti-government conspiracy in every nook and cranny crowd may finally get what they want. It will be an object lesson to see if the world is coming to and end, or if the glory of a new age is upon us. The problem is that as California goes, so goes the nation. With 11% unemployment already, and the prospect that thousands more are about to be unemployed, and with no money to pay out in benefits, what happens now? I guess these people will have more time to attend tea parties? If I am one of the people who receive part of the $3 Billion dollar IOU's tonight, how am I going to keep the electricity on? So go enjoy your name calling that Democrats or Republicans are subhuman non-caring idiots. That does not solve the crisis, and I don't pretend that a few days of budget cuts will take care of the problem. You have a lot of work to do. Just understand that this Oklahoman is one of many who do not think we are out of the woods economically, and could care less about your party affiliation even if you believe it makes you think you are the righteous ones. A pox on both your houses because you people would be the type that would be in a burning theater and you would debate whether to exit front or back and burn up before you reached a conclusion. Thank God I am going on vacation tomorrow. I need a rest from this post.
